Milwaukee M18 Compact Brushless 2-Tool Kit vs Milwaukee M18 FUEL 5-Tool Combo Kit

Buy the 3692-22CT if you want a light, compact drill and impact driver for cabinet work, overhead fastening and tight spaces. Buy the 3697-25 if you need to cut and demo as well as drill, or if you want the extra power and runtime of FUEL tools. The 2-tool kit is easier to carry and control; the 5-tool kit covers more jobs and comes with bigger XC5.0 batteries, but it weighs more than twice as much and costs a lot more. Owners of the FUEL line consistently rate the power and durability highly; the compact brushless pair trades some of that for size and weight.

• Choose the M18 Compact Brushless 2-Tool Kit if your work is mostly drilling and driving, you value a small, light kit, and you do not need a saw or light.
• Choose the M18 FUEL 5-Tool Kit if you want one kit that drills, drives, cuts and lights, and you are willing to carry more weight for more capability.
