The Bosch 18v lithium ones are about a kg lighter than the corded ones
so give them a look at too.

Don't forget that there have been enormous advances in batteries in
the past few years. I have a very nice corded electric drill that
stays in the case because my lithium powered one (with spare
quick-charging battery) has as much power and no cord.

There's also the advances in the motors with the use of rare earth
magnets making them much lighter and more powerful. Some of the Bosch
cordless hedge trimmers also have a saw blade at the front of the blade
that will saw through branches up to about an inch in diameter.
