Milwaukee M18 Brushless Drill & Impact Kit vs Milwaukee M18 FUEL 7-Tool Combo Kit

Buy the 2-tool kit if you want a light, compact drill and impact driver for home repairs, assembly and light trade work. Buy the 7-tool FUEL kit if you are setting up a full workshop or jobsite and need a saw, grinder, impact wrench and recip saw from day one. The 2-tool kit is smaller and easier to handle overhead; the FUEL kit uses Milwaukee's top-tier brushless motors and adds a PACKOUT vacuum, but it is heavier, bulkier and far more tool than most shoppers need. Owners rate the compact kit highly for its size and power; FUEL tools are the line pros step up to for sustained heavy use.

• Choose the M18 Compact 2-tool kit if you want a lightweight drill and impact driver for furniture, fixtures, decking and around-the-house jobs without hauling a full kit.
• Choose the M18 FUEL 7-tool kit if you are outfitting a shop or jobsite and need cutting, grinding and fastening tools plus a PACKOUT vacuum in one purchase.
