Is this kit worth it over buying tools separately?

If you need several of these tools and want one battery system, the kit covers drilling, cutting, grinding and lighting in one purchase. Buying each tool and battery separately usually costs more and means matching batteries yourself.

How does it compare with Milwaukee's M18 Fuel tools?

This kit uses older brushed motors. M18 Fuel tools are brushless, lighter and more efficient, but they cost more per tool and are usually sold outside a six-tool bundle.

What batteries and charger come with it?

The kit is built around Milwaukee's Red Lithium M18 batteries and includes a charger. Check the box contents for the exact battery count and capacity, since bundles vary.

Can I use other M18 batteries with these tools?

Yes. All six tools run on the M18 battery platform, so any M18 pack works, including larger high-capacity packs for longer runtime.

What is included in the box?

The hammer drill/driver, SAWZALL reciprocating saw, 6-1/2 in. circular saw, 1/4 in. hex impact driver, 4-1/2 in. cut-off/grinder and work light, plus batteries and a charger.

Is the circular saw big enough for framing?

The 6-1/2 in. blade cuts through standard dimensional lumber but has less depth than a 7-1/4 in. framing saw, so very thick stock may need a second pass.

About the Milwaukee 2696-26 M18 Cordless Lithium-Ion 6-Tool Combo Kit

This kit combines six M18 cordless tools: a 1/2 in. hammer drill/driver, a SAWZALL reciprocating saw, a 6-1/2 in. circular saw, a 1/4 in. hex impact driver, a 4-1/2 in. cut-off/grinder and a work light. The tools run on M18 Red Lithium batteries.

The hammer drill/driver has a 4-pole frameless motor that delivers 525 in-lbs of peak torque, 0 to 550 / 0 to 1,700 RPM and 29,000 BPM. The impact driver uses the same type of motor and delivers 1,400 in-lbs of torque. The reciprocating saw has a gear-protecting clutch and a counter balance mechanism.

The circular saw delivers 3,500 RPM and has magnesium upper and lower guards. The cut-off/grinder has a 4-pole motor that delivers 9,000 RPM, with overload protection and a tool-free, burst-resistant guard. The work light has a fold-away hook for hands-free use and a head that rotates 135 degrees. Digital power management (DPM) provides overload protection to prevent damage to the tool and battery.
