Cordless Tool Finder

Seven questions — what kind of tool, how much of it you want to hold, what you can spend, which battery platform you are on, whether it needs a cord, whether the motor must be brushless, and whether you want a particular brand — across 433 cordless tools. Every result is placed against the median weight for its own category and size class, where that class holds enough tools to have a median worth quoting.

The finder searches the whole corpus. It does not rank tools, it does not promote what pays best, and it does not hide a tool because its listing is incomplete: a drill whose maker never published a torque figure still appears, marked not stated, because a badly written listing is not a worse tool.

Your requirements

What are you shopping for?

This is the only question that narrows by kind rather than by preference — comparing a laser measure against a lawn mower tells you nothing, so the class medians below are always computed within a category.

How much tool do you want to hold?

Weight decides overhead work, one-handed use and how long you last more than any headline number does — and it is the figure this category actually publishes: 340 of 433 listings state a weight, against 65 that state a torque.

What can you spend?

Which battery platform?

Batteries do not cross brands. If you already own packs, staying on the platform is usually worth more than a spec advantage.

Corded or cordless?

Corded trades mobility for unlimited runtime and no pack cost.

Any brand in particular?

Only brands with at least eight tools in this corpus are offered — a filter that returns three products is not a filter. Unlike every other question here, this one excludes tools whose listing does not name a brand: a seller who did not say who made it has not made a DEWALT.

Brushless motor only

More runtime per charge and a longer motor life, at a higher price.

How to read the results

The figure beside each tool is its weight, and beneath it, where one exists, the median weight for its own category and size class. A saw at 5.5 kg against a class median of 3.7 kg is genuinely heavy for what it is; one at 3.3 kg is ordinary. The comparison is always within a class, because comparing a laser measure against a lawn mower tells you nothing.

Where a class holds fewer than eight tools, no median is shown. That is a deliberate floor, not a missing feature: quartiles computed from five products describe those five products and not the class they sit in. Eleven of the twenty class cells in this corpus clear it.

Why incompletely described tools still appear

Specification coverage here is uneven, and unevenly distributed. Weight is stated by 340 of the 433 tools; a battery platform voltage by 302; a torque figure by 65. A filter that dropped everything it could not confirm would discard most of the catalogue the moment you touched the platform question — and the tools it discarded would not be worse, only less completely described.

So a filter excludes a tool only when its listing positively contradicts what you asked for. A tool silent on power source still appears when you ask for cordless, marked not stated, and you can decide what to do about that. The alternative is a tool that quietly hides most of the market while looking decisive.

What the finder cannot tell you

It cannot tell you which tool is better built, because that is an outcome rather than a specification, and measuring it would need testing this site does not do. It cannot compare energy capacity across platforms, because amp-hours are not comparable between voltage classes and the watt-hour figure that would be is not published cleanly enough to compute — see battery platforms for what that costs you. And it cannot tell you whether a torque rating was measured the way a competitor measured theirs, which is why how to read a torque rating exists.
