If you aren't doing major construction the convenience of cordless is unbeatable. I have both and as DIYer I reach for the cordless more often.

Check out the full line of tools that use the battery and charger that you buy. You don't want to end up with 3 or 4 different types of batteries. You will be buying more tools so think long term.

I chose Milwaukee when my original 9volt Makita stick tools wore out. I loved my cordless reciprocating saw and Milwaukee had the best replacement so I switched over.

In that case just wedge a 2x4 under the bottom edge to hold it open at full swing, that should take all tension off the spring and you can just unhook the chain. Have a friend around to help you lower the door back down so you can take them off.
