Milwaukee 2992-22 M18 Drill and Saw Combo Kit vs Makita 18V LXT 2-Piece Combo Kit
These kits split on the second tool. The Milwaukee 2992-22 pairs a 725 in-lb hammer drill with a 7-1/4 in circular saw, so it suits framing, decking and remodeling where you cut lumber. The Makita XT269MB pairs a hammer drill with an impact driver that puts out 1,500 in-lb, so it suits driving screws, fastening and cabinet work. Both use brushless motors and two 4.0 Ah batteries. Owners of both brands praise the battery platforms; the Milwaukee drill is heavier but stronger, and the Makita impact driver is the lighter tool at 3.3 lb.
- Choose the Milwaukee 2992-22 if you cut lumber and need a circular saw in the same kit as a high-torque hammer drill.
- Choose the Makita XT269MB if your work is mostly driving screws and fastening, and you want a light impact driver plus a hammer drill.
