plus how good is a 18v circular saw? and jigsaw?

I have the circular saw and it is very useful in some situations cuts well in ply till the battery goes! In my opinion the final price will depend on the condition and number of batteries as they are not cheap to replace also if you have a use for all the tools. I would not go above £300 as I would only use some of the tools and selling the unused ones without battery and charger would not raise much. Better to buy the ones you want individually from the bay?

the only chordless that i find truly useful is a hammer drill. have been using the makita for a number of years and find them very reliable. If you shop around you can buy for under £100 new.
If i have lots of cuts to do that have to be square (say for fitted wardrobes) will get them cut at b&q,4 or 5 cuts free and machine cuts them exactly to size and i have a mains circular but the best chordless tool is a Irwin medium cut handsaw £ 5.99.
At the end of the day mains  operated tools are far better, you could always buy a generator if it really is not possible to run an extension.

Loads of sites don't allow mains powered tools any more. It depends what you are doing, recip saw is very handy for cutting access holes, grinder is great for removing wheel clamps etc....

Cordless sds is brilliant, you just need spare batteries. The little 10.8v drill drivers are great for light work.

My best tools are mains (and generally a 2 man lift... : )

I only use tools at home so ive never really had the desire to suffer the inconveniences of batteries.
I understand site is different - Is the site ban on mains just logistics, or safety?

Some is overzealous H&S, some of it is having 30 blokes working in a small area fighting over sockets and trailing leads all over the place....

Have you tried using your mains powered tools up a ladder with your head in a void? If you trip you might strangle yourself with the power leads.

If you are working outside there may not be any power, you can't drag a genny big enough to run a big sds with you as well as ladders and all the other kit.

They all have their place, I have a mains sds drill and a battery one. If you have a workshop then mains power makes sense.

Exactly what Arash said, better batteries than the inconveniece of leads everywhere, two batteries for every tool helps.
