Milwaukee M18 6-Tool Combo Kit vs RYOBI P1819 18V ONE+ 6-Tool Combo Kit

Buy the Milwaukee M18 kit if you use tools for a living or need an angle grinder and a saw built for heavy cutting. Buy the Ryobi ONE+ kit if you want a lighter, broader starter set for home and DIY work. Milwaukee's tools are heavier-duty and its 5-year warranty is longer, while Ryobi owners rate it highly for value and ease of use. The Milwaukee kit weighs far more and its listed contents are inconsistent, so confirm what is actually in the box before you commit.

• Choose the Milwaukee M18 kit if you are a remodeler, electrician or maintenance tech who needs an angle grinder and saws that hold up to daily jobsite use.
• Choose the Ryobi ONE+ kit if you are a DIYer or occasional pro who wants a lighter six-tool set with a multi-tool and two batteries ready to go.
