I do the same thing. I have a corded drill for heavy duty stuff, and a battery powered for less intense work. Same thing with impact wrenches: 1/2" and 3/8" drives in both. Whenever possible, I pick up the battery powered tools. Otherwise, it's 120V tools.Yes, this isn't always obvious until you use them side by side. Cordless is great for a lot of things and they are very handy, but there are still places for corded, gas and air tools. I recently bought a Milwaukee corded drill because I was drilling holes in angle iron for a cart I was making. It is just their basic 3/8" drill too, not a heavy duty monster. Drilling steel with the corded drill made my Makita look like a toy.
The Makita is not out of work though, still my favorite handy drill and screw gun.
