Milwaukee 2904-22 M18 FUEL Hammer Drill vs Bosch GSB18V-535CN Hammer Drill/Driver

The Milwaukee 2904-22 is the stronger hammer drill: 1,400 in-lb of torque, 2,100 rpm, 33,000 bpm and a 6.9-inch body that beats the Bosch on power and access. The Bosch GSB18V-535CN is lighter at 2.7 lb and adds KickBack Control plus app connectivity, but its 535 in-lb and 600 rpm low gear suit light drilling and driving, not dense concrete or big auger bits. Owners rate the Milwaukee highly for build and battery life; the Bosch is a fine compact driver for homeowners who already own Bosch 18V batteries.

• Choose the Milwaukee 2904-22 if you drill concrete, masonry or large holes and want maximum torque with two batteries and a hard case in the box.
• Choose the Bosch GSB18V-535CN if you want a light, compact drill for wood, metal and light masonry and already own Bosch 18V batteries.
