Milwaukee M18 Compact Brushless 2-Tool Kit vs Milwaukee M18 FUEL 5-Tool Combo Kit
The 3692-22CT is the right kit for someone who mostly drills and drives and wants compact, light tools. The 3697-25 is the step up for anyone who also cuts: it adds a hammer drill, a recip saw, a circular saw and a work light, and its FUEL tools carry more torque and speed. Owners rate the 5-tool kit highly (4.8 from 92 ratings), and both kits share the M18 system, brushless motors and a 5-year tool warranty. The trade-off is weight and bulk: the 5-tool kit is roughly 31 lb in the bag against about 13 lb.
- Choose the M18 Compact Brushless 2-Tool Kit if you mainly drill and drive, work overhead or in tight spaces, and want the lightest bag that still covers those jobs.
- Choose the M18 FUEL 5-Tool Kit if you cut as well as drill, want the hammer function for masonry, and would rather buy the full set once than add bare tools later.
