Milwaukee M18 6-Tool Combo Kit 2696-26 vs Ryobi ONE+ 18V 6-Tool Combo Kit
Buy the Milwaukee 2696-26 if you use tools for a living or want one battery platform that lasts. Its hammer drill, SAWZALL, magnesium-shoe circular saw and 4-1/2 in. grinder are pro-grade, and owners consistently praise the REDLITHIUM packs and the 550 in-lbs drill. The Ryobi ONE+ kit is the better pick for a homeowner starting out: it adds a multi-tool, has a stronger impact driver on paper (1,800 in-lbs) and a lighter bag, but the brushed tools and 4.1-star rating show it is built for occasional use, not daily jobsite abuse.
- Choose the Milwaukee 2696-26 if you drill, cut and grind regularly, want a hammer drill and grinder in the box, and plan to grow a single M18 battery platform.
- Choose the Ryobi ONE+ kit if you are outfitting a home workshop, want a multi-tool and a light kit, and will use the tools a few times a month.
