A six-piece M18 cordless kit built around one battery platform: hammer drill, Sawzall recip saw, 6-1/2-inch circular saw, 1/4-inch hex impact driver, 4-1/2-inch cut-off grinder and a work light, plus two XC REDLITHIUM batteries and a one-hour charger. The bundle adds a random orbit sander and a wet/dry vacuum, so it covers cutting, drilling, fastening, grinding, sanding and cleanup from the same packs. It suits contractors and serious DIYers who want one battery system across many tools rather than buying each separately. Against bare-tool purchases it saves buying batteries and a charger repeatedly, but the included tools are Milwaukee's older brushed M18 generation, not the newer Fuel brushless line, so expect less runtime and power than Fuel equivalents.

Owners of Milwaukee's M18 combo kits generally rate the platform's power and battery sharing highly, and the extra sander and vacuum broaden the kit's usefulness. Criticism tends to focus on the brushed tools being heavier and less efficient than Fuel versions.
The Milwaukee 2696-26 is an M18 cordless lithium-ion combo kit with six tools. It includes a 1/2" hammer drill/driver, a Sawzall reciprocating saw, a 6-1/2" circular saw, a 1/4" hex impact driver, a 4-1/2" cut-off/grinder and a work light. It also comes with a 2648-20 M18 random orbit sander and a 0880-20 18V wet/dry vacuum (tool only).
The hammer drill/driver and the impact driver use a Milwaukee 4-pole frameless motor. The Sawzall has a gear-protecting clutch and a counterbalance mechanism. The circular saw has magnesium upper and lower guards. The cut-off/grinder has a 4-pole motor, overload protection, and a tool-free, burst-resistant guard.
The work light has a fold-away hook for hands-free use and a 135-degree rotating head to aim light at the work area. Digital Power Management (DPM) provides overload protection to prevent damage to the tool and battery in abusive situations. The tools run on M18 XC High Capacity and M18 Compact RED LITHIUM batteries.
