I'm waiting for my Bosch to fully die to replace with the Milwaukee. And hopefully by then there's a Fuel version (because tart). The Bosch works great for what I want it to do, but the 1.5ah batteries last about 10 min, if you're going easy. So I have four batteries collected over the years. Then the whole thing heats up so none of the batteries will work. So even with the 4 batteries, you're probably limited to about half an hour's work. Then I get the corded out and swear at the cord for a bit while I untangle it then move it about from socket to socket. Less limited by the vacuum as the Henry has a bloody great long cable and a decent hose.
SDS and table saw I'd totally agree with, along with mitre saw. You're not exactly going to be bouncing all over the place doing bits here and there. But circular saw, I even wish I had a decent cordless track saw such is the time I spend moving the cable about due to paranoia over cutting through it, then snagging it on things during long cuts and having to stop/re-position halfway making a shitty cut.

I dunno, got a milwaukee m18 ro non fuel last year, lasts longer on 5ah batteries then my hands and body can take. Would say maybe 1 hour full time sanding per battery? Lots.
Things like sds, paddle mixers, routers, table saw and circular saw i really don't mind being corded, all of which don't cost much getting the corded version, but cost loads for the battery equiv.
