   ... and my apologies for not having more to add when you were   
   information seeking.  For 30-ish years as a contractor (23 owning my own   
   company) I found it was often much faster to use heavy duty corded tools   
   even if it meant lugging out and uncoiling heavy duty extension cords.   
   I promise I can drill every hole in stick frame house for wiring with a   
   corded Milwaukee drill in half the time as a decent 1/2 Milwaukee   
   cordless drill regardless of the battery size.  I used my cordless   
   drills a lot on jobs, but not when I had a lot of drilling to do.  I   
   also went through the early days on battery platforms for a variety of   
   cordless tools and most of them were garbage from any brand initially,   
   so I just carried corded tools for everything.  Its only been relatively   
   recently I started using more cordless stuff besides drills regularly   
   and only this year that I learned that a bigger amp hour cordless tool   
   battery will also often be capable of more cranking amps.   
      
   I can't give you studies or reports.  I can just tell you what my   
   experience is.
