Milwaukee M18 Compact 2-Tool Combo Kit vs Ryobi 18V One+ 4-Tool Combo Kit

Buy the Milwaukee kit if you want two tools built for daily jobsite use: brushless motors, all-metal gear case and chuck, and a compact drill and impact driver that fit into tight spaces. Buy the Ryobi kit if you want more tools in the bag and a wider spread of jobs covered, since the circular saw and light add cutting and lighting the Milwaukee kit does not include. Milwaukee wins on build and motor quality; Ryobi wins on tool count and platform breadth. Owners of the Ryobi kit rate it well on value, while Milwaukee's M18 line is the standard for pro-grade durability.

• Choose the Milwaukee M18 Compact 2-Tool Kit if you drill and drive screws most days and want brushless power, metal chucks and a small footprint over extra tools.
• Choose the Ryobi 18V One+ 4-Tool Kit if you want a saw and a light in the same bag and would rather cover more jobs than pay for pro-grade build.
