Milwaukee M18 FUEL 2-Tool Combo Kit vs Milwaukee M18 FUEL 7-Tool Combo Kit

Both kits are Milwaukee M18 FUEL brushless tools on the same 18V battery platform, so the real choice is scope versus focus. The 2-tool kit (3697-22) pairs the M18 FUEL hammer drill and 2953 impact driver, the two tools most owners reach for first, and it carries a much larger review base at a higher average rating. The 7-tool kit adds more tools and a hole saw set, but it has far fewer ratings and a lower average, and buyers should confirm exactly which seven tools are inside. Buy the 2-tool kit for serious drilling and driving; step to the 7-tool kit only if you need the extra tools and the hole saw set in one purchase.

• Choose the Milwaukee 2-tool kit if you want the strongest hammer drill and impact driver Milwaukee makes, with two 5.0Ah batteries, a charger and a hard case.
• Choose the Milwaukee 7-tool kit if you want more tools and a hole saw set in one box and already know you will use them.
