Porter Cable 20V MAX 4-Tool Combo Kit vs Bauer 6-Tool Combo Kit

The Bauer 6-Tool Combo Kit is the broader kit and the better pick for most shoppers: six tools, two batteries of different sizes, and a much larger review base at a higher rating. The Porter Cable 4-Tool Kit is the leaner, more focused set, with a brushless drill and impact driver and a stronger impact driver torque figure. Build quality is comparable at this tier, but owners report the Bauer kit covers more jobs out of the box, while the Porter Cable kit is easier to carry and store.

• Choose the Porter Cable 4-Tool Kit if you mainly drill, drive and cut with a recip saw, and you want a compact brushless set that fits in one bag.
• Choose the Bauer 6-Tool Kit if you want the widest tool coverage, including a circular saw, multi-tool and blower, and two batteries to share across them.
