The Milwaukee 2695-27SH bundles seven M18 cordless tools on one 18V battery platform: a 1/2-inch drill/driver, a 1/4-inch hex impact driver, a 6-1/2-inch circular saw, a HACKZALL one-handed recip saw, a brushless 4-1/2 to 5-inch cut-off grinder, an oscillating multi-tool and an LED worklight. Two XC 3.0 batteries, a multi-voltage charger and a contractor bag round out the kit. It suits tradespeople and serious DIYers who want a full crew of tools that share batteries, and it beats most combo kits on the impact driver's torque and the brushless grinder. The trade-off is bulk and weight: the drill and saw are older brushed designs next to Milwaukee's Fuel line, and the 3.0 batteries are modest for heavy cutting.

Owners of Milwaukee combo kits generally rate the M18 platform highly for power and battery compatibility, and the impact driver and HACKZALL draw the most praise. Common complaints center on the brushed tools being a step behind the Fuel line and the small batteries running down quickly under heavy cutting.
This cordless combo kit includes seven M18 tools: a 1/2" drill/driver, a 1/4" hex impact driver, a 6-1/2" circular saw, a HACKZALL reciprocating saw, a 4-1/2" grinder, a multi-tool and an LED work light. Two M18 REDLITHIUM XC3.0 batteries and an M18 & M12 Multi-Voltage Charger power the kit. A contractor bag holds everything.
The drill/driver has a 4-pole frameless motor with rare-earth magnets. It delivers 500 in-lbs of torque at 0-400 and 0-1,800 RPM. The impact driver reaches up to 2,750 RPM and 3,450 IPM, with 1,500 in-lbs of fastening torque. The circular saw has a 3,500 RPM motor that cuts tough material such as LVL headers.
The one-handed HACKZALL runs at 0-3,000 strokes per minute with a 3/4" stroke length. It cuts wood, metal and PVC. The brushless grinder has an 11,000 RPM motor built for cutting and surfacing, and it can make up to 80 cuts in 1/2" rebar. The multi-tool runs at 11,000 to 18,000 OPM. The work light has a head that rotates 90° and puts out 100 lumens.
