Milwaukee M18 Compact Brushless 2-Tool Kit vs Milwaukee M18 6-Tool Combo Kit 2696-26

The 3692-22CT is the better two-tool kit: both tools are brushless, compact and strong, and the drill and impact driver cover most drilling and driving jobs. The 2696-26 gives you six tools, including a circular saw, recip saw, grinder and light, but its tools are brushed and older, so expect less power and shorter runtime per charge. Buy the 3692-22CT for daily drilling and driving, and the 2696-26 only if you need cutting and grinding tools in one box and accept the older platform.

• Choose the M18 Compact Brushless 2-Tool Kit if you mainly drill and drive, want compact brushless tools and a 5-year tool warranty.
• Choose the M18 6-Tool Combo Kit if you need a saw, grinder, recip saw and light as well as a driver, and want the widest tool count in one kit.
