- Which is better for drilling concrete?
- The Milwaukee 3697-22. Its M18 FUEL 1/2-inch hammer drill has a hammer mode and up to 1,400 in-lbs of peak torque. The DeWalt DCD771 is a drill/driver with no hammer mode.
- Which kit has more tools?
- The DeWalt DCK444C2 has four tools: drill/driver, impact driver, oscillating multi-tool and LED light. The Milwaukee kit has two: hammer drill/driver and impact driver.
- Is the Milwaukee worth the price difference?
- It is cheaper right now: $299.95 at eBay versus $418.85 at HomCo Lumber and Hardware as of November 4, 2026. It also has the stronger drill and faster impact driver, so it is the better value unless you need the extra DeWalt tools.
- Which has better batteries?
- The Milwaukee kit includes two M18 REDLITHIUM XC5.0 5.0Ah batteries, which are higher capacity than the DeWalt DCB201 batteries in this kit. DeWalt's 20V MAX line has a wider range of low-cost tools that share the same batteries.
- Which is better for cutting and sanding?
- The DeWalt DCK444C2, because it includes a reciprocating saw and an oscillating multi-tool with a Quick-Change accessory system. The Milwaukee kit has no saw or multi-tool.
- Which is lighter to carry?
- The Milwaukee kit is listed at 3.3 lbs, against 10 lbs for the DeWalt kit. The DeWalt figure likely covers the full kit with bag, so compare bare-tool weights if that matters to you.
