Corded Power Tools

Corded power tools still make sense wherever the work stays near a plug and the job runs for hours: routing, blowing dust out of a workshop, and other high-draw tasks where a battery would run flat. This hub gathers the mains-powered tools at Power Tool Services and points you to the right sub-category. It suits joinery shops, site teams and home workshops alike.

Choosing a corded power tool

• Trimming or heavy routing. For edge work and laminates, the Bosch Professional Palm Router / Trimmer GKF 550 is light enough to run one-handed. For deep plunge cuts and large cutters, step up to the Triton 2400W Dual Mode Precision Plunge Router TRA001 or the Bosch Professional Industrial Router GOF 20-12.
• Collet size. The Makita Router 6.35Mm RP0900 and Einhell Router 1100W 6/8mm Collet TC-RO 1155 E take quarter-inch and 6 mm or 8 mm shank bits. The Makita 12.7mm Plunge Router RP1800X runs half-inch bits for big profiles.
• Workshop blowers. The Bosch Professional Blower With Dust Extraction GBL 800 E clears benches and machines and can also collect, while the Bosch Professional Blower GBL 650 is the simpler blow-only tool.
• Premium routing. The Festool Router OF 1010 REBQ-Plus and OF 2200 EB-Plus pair with Festool guide rails and extraction for fine cabinet work.

Corded or cordless?

Corded tools give constant power with no battery to charge, and they tend to be lighter for the same output because there is no pack on board. Cordless wins for ladders, roofs and sites without power. Browse cordless power tools for the battery side, corded blowers for the full blower range, and the power tools hub for everything else.
