Which is better for framing and drilling?

The Milwaukee. Its brushless hammer drill delivers 725 in-lb and the saw cuts 2-1/2 in deep. The DeWalt drill is a compact drill/driver without a hammer mode.

Is the DeWalt kit worth the extra money?

Only if you need the grinder, recip saw, impact driver and speaker. At $899.99 it costs about $421 more than the Milwaukee, and it has sold near $648 recently.

Which has better batteries?

The Milwaukee ships two 4.0 Ah packs, double the 2.0 Ah listed for the DeWalt. The DeWalt's 20V packs fit seven tools, so one battery covers more work.

Which is easier to carry around?

The Milwaukee. The drill weighs 4.6 lb and the kit comes in a soft case. The DeWalt kit weighs about 32 lb in a hard case.

Do both include a charger and case?

Yes. Milwaukee includes a charger and soft case. DeWalt includes a charger and a ToughSystem hard case.

Which lasts longer on a charge?

The Milwaukee's 4.0 Ah batteries should run longer per charge than the DeWalt's 2.0 Ah packs. The DeWalt grinder and recip saw draw more power, so expect shorter runtime there.
