Milwaukee M18 4-Tool Combo Kit 2695-24 vs Milwaukee M18 Fuel 2-Tool Combo Kit

The 2897-22 Fuel kit is the better buy for anyone who drills and drives for a living: brushless motors, 1,200 in-lbs in the hammer drill, 1,800 in-lbs in the impact driver, and two XC batteries. The 2695-24 gives you four tools instead of two, adding a one-handed recip saw and a work light, but it runs brushed motors and older compact batteries. Owners of both praise the M18 battery platform and Milwaukee's build; Fuel owners report cooler running and longer motor life, while 2695-24 buyers like getting a full starter set in one bag.

• Choose the 2695-24 if you want the widest spread of tools up front, including a recip saw and light, and your work is light to moderate.
• Choose the 2897-22 Fuel if drilling and driving are the core of your work and you want brushless power, more torque and longer tool life.
