I took out my 14.4 volt B&D drill, and started making a hole in the floor. However, it would hardly get through it at all. I am doing this so I can have an RJ-45 cable go into my basement, and come back up to the room next to mine to connect to a hub. What could I be doing wrong? Do I need to charge the battery more? Because it slowly just slowed down to nothing (the drill).
I need help drilling a hole in my floor...

It's a wood floor. It would be by another hole that was drilled to bring a TV cable wire through the floor.
Cordless drills are for women and people working on construction projects without utility service.

Torque is your problem.
Your drill is probably 7v or something (that's what mine is) and too weak to do the trick.
The corded drill will be 18v and will have plenty of torque.
HOWEVER, they do make 18v cordless drills that have just as much torque as a corded drill.
Edit- just like Franky Jr says

You sure? My cordless drill has 400 in-lbs of torque. I haven't seen any cordless drill above 450 in-lbs of torque. I don't know how much torque my corded drill has, but it's a hell of a lot more than my cordless drill. Spins 3 times as fast too (2500 rpm vs 800 rpm). If I drive a screw with my corded drill, it'll try to rip itself out of my hand.

Normally corless drillls have more low-end torque but corded ones top out higher.
But if you had to choose just one, I'd go cordless with an extra battery. I always have oen battery fully charged waiting for the other oen to eventually die. Then I swap them and an hour later, the dead one is back to full charge.

I'm sure there are. I just found a Milwaukee hammer drill with 495 in-lbs. But how much higher do you think they go? My corded drill kicks my cordless drill's ass by a huge margin. I just don't see anyone getting as much power out of a battery as you can get out of a wall socket.
