Do all five tools use the same battery?

Yes. Every tool in the kit runs on Milwaukee's M18 18-volt batteries, and the kit includes an XC 3.0 Ah pack and a compact pack.

What comes in the box?

The drill/driver, impact driver, 6-1/2 in. circular saw, random orbit sander, LED work light, XC 3.0 Ah battery, compact battery, multi-voltage charger and a contractor bag.

Is the drill powerful enough for general work?

It produces 500 in.-lbs. of torque and up to 1,800 RPM, which covers most drilling and driving around the house and on light jobs.

Can the circular saw cut thick lumber?

It is a 6-1/2 in. saw, so it handles common dimensional lumber and sheet goods but has less depth of cut than a full-size 7-1/4 in. saw.

Is this a good first Milwaukee kit?

It is a practical entry point because it covers drilling, driving, cutting, sanding and lighting on one battery platform, and the batteries work with other M18 tools.

What reviewers say

Owners of Milwaukee's M18 five-tool kits generally rate the drill and impact driver highly for power and size, and value getting several tools on one battery platform. The circular saw and sander draw more mixed comments, and some wish the included batteries carried more capacity.

What people mention

Drill powerPraisedOwners say the compact drill/driver delivers strong torque and speed for its size.
Impact driverPraisedThe impact driver is liked for fast fastening and good power-to-size balance.
Battery platformPraisedBuyers value that all five tools run on the same M18 batteries they can share with other Milwaukee tools.
Circular sawMixedSome users find the 6-1/2 in. saw handy and light, while others want more depth of cut for framing.
Battery capacityCriticisedThe 3.0 Ah XC pack is seen as limited for sustained cutting and sanding.
SanderMixedThe random orbit sander works for finish work but is viewed as a basic model.
