DeWalt 20V MAX Atomic Impact Driver Kit vs Milwaukee M18 Brushless 7-1/4 in. Circular Saw
These are different tools, so the real question is what you need to drive. The DeWalt DCF809C2 is a compact 1/4 in. impact driver for screws, lag bolts and self-tappers, while the Milwaukee M18 kit is a 7-1/4 in. circular saw for cutting lumber and sheet goods. Buy the DeWalt if your work is fastening; buy the Milwaukee if your work is cutting. Neither replaces the other, and owners of both lines praise the brushless motors and battery platforms.
- Choose the DeWalt DCF809C2 if you need a light, short impact driver for driving screws and fasteners in tight spaces, and you want two batteries in the kit.
- Choose the Milwaukee M18 saw if you need to cut 2x lumber, plywood or decking and want a cordless saw with two 5.0 Ah batteries and a rapid charger.
