Which is better for drilling into concrete?

The Milwaukee. Its hammer drill is rated up to 1,400 in-lb peak torque and is built for self-feed holes in dense material. The DeWalt DCD805 is a capable hammer drill, but DeWalt does not publish a comparable torque figure.

Is the Milwaukee worth $45 more?

If you drill hard material or drive large fasteners often, yes: more drill torque, 5.0Ah batteries and AutoStop. For light home use, the DeWalt at $255.00 does the same jobs for less.

Which impact driver is more compact?

The DeWalt ATOMIC DCF850 is under 4 in. long, which is shorter than the standard M18 FUEL body. That matters in tight spaces like cabinet interiors and between studs.

Which kit has better batteries?

The Milwaukee kit ships two 5.0Ah REDLITHIUM XC packs versus two 4.0Ah packs in the DeWalt kit, so expect longer runtime per charge from the Milwaukee.

Both use brushless motors and should hold up for years of regular use. The Milwaukee has the stronger review record at 4.9 from 1,234 ratings; some DeWalt buyers report hammer drill failures out of the box.

Do both kits include a charger and case?

Yes. DeWalt includes a charger and a storage bag; Milwaukee includes a multi-voltage M18/M12 charger and a contractor bag.
