How does it compare with a full-size M18 drill?

It is smaller and lighter but slower at 1,700 rpm and lower on torque. Full-size M18 drills handle hole saws and augers better; this one suits driving and light drilling.

What comes in the kit?

The kit includes the drill/driver, a lithium-ion battery and a drill set. Check the listing for charger and battery capacity before buying.

Does it use the same batteries as other Milwaukee M18 tools?

Yes. It runs on Milwaukee's 18-volt M18 batteries, so it shares packs with other M18 tools you own.

What size bits does the chuck take?

The keyless chuck is 1/2 inch, so it takes standard round and hex-shank bits up to 1/2 inch.

Is the Milwaukee M18 Compact Brushless drill worth it?

It is a low entry point into the M18 brushless line. It makes sense if you already own M18 batteries or need a light drill, less so if you need maximum torque.

How does it compare with the M18 Fuel drill?

The Fuel line is Milwaukee's higher-torque brushless tier, so a Fuel drill will out-drill this compact model on big bits and hole saws. This one is the lighter, simpler option for driving and everyday drilling.

About the Milwaukee M18 Compact Brushless 1/2 in. Drill/Driver Kit

The Milwaukee M18 Compact Brushless 1/2 in. Drill/Driver Kit pairs an 18-volt brushless motor with a keyless 1/2-inch chuck and a built-in LED, topping out at 1,700 rpm. It ships as a kit with a battery and a drill set, aimed at people already in the M18 battery system who want a lighter drill for everyday work. Against full-size 18V drills it trades torque and top speed for a smaller, easier-to-handle body, and its middling owner reception reflects that trade-off.
