Which kit is better for a first cordless set?

The DeWalt, because five tools and five batteries cover most jobs without extra purchases. The Milwaukee kit is better if you already own an impact driver and saws.

Which hammer drill is more powerful?

The Milwaukee is rated 725 in-lb at up to 1,800 rpm. DeWalt does not publish torque for the DCD806 in this listing, so the Milwaukee is the safer pick on paper for heavy drilling.

Is the DeWalt worth about $120 more?

Yes if you need the impact driver, recip saw and multi-tool. Three extra tools and three extra batteries for about $120 is hard to match buying separately.

Which has better battery runtime?

The DeWalt kit ships with two 5Ah packs plus three 2Ah packs, so total capacity is higher. The Milwaukee gives two 4.0Ah packs, enough for a drill and saw but not for five tools at once.

Which is easier to carry around?

The DeWalt rolls in a storage bag, which suits moving between sites. The Milwaukee is lighter per tool and comes in a soft case you carry.

Do both use brushless motors?

Yes. Every tool in the DeWalt kit is brushless, and the Milwaukee drill and saw are brushless too.
