Milwaukee 2694-24 M18 18-Volt 4-Tool Cordless Combo Kit

I had a set of Porter Cable tools for 3yrs. and was faced with buying 2 new 19.2 volt batteries for appx. $180. When I saw these tools with 2 Lithium-Ion batteries and charger, with 5 yr. warranty for $400.00, it just became my obvious choice. The tools look good and work excellent. Charge indicator on batteries is also very handy.
One more thing I thought was cool. I have a 20ft. building 180ft. from my back door, so put the flashlight out the door to see if the beam would reach. It lit the whole side of the building and the trees beyond! Very happy with this puchase.

...Like I was. When I got tired of my Ridgid cordless hammer drill always being dead, I bought this set from TEAM TOOLS and got it for 50.00 more than I paid for the Ridgid drill alone(paid 350.00 for the Milwaukee set).

The drill is light and compact compared to other drills, but has all the power you'll ever need. The hammer setting drills through concrete better than I expected. This is a nice drill and it has outstanding power. The light is a cool add-on, and you may become dependent on it after you use it. The balance is also right on, and it fits nicely into my Milwaukee toolbelt I purchased from Amazon due to it's compact size.

I took the saw out of the box, picked up an old, dried out treated 2x4 and ripped it down. There was no stalling, and it maintained a nice steady speed with no binding. I then took this saw, using the same battery I just used, to rip the 2x4 (twice) an then made a 25' pass across textured plywood siding on a garage. It was still going strong. I then took the same saw and cut several plumb cuts on soffits, 12 total. Yep, still going strong and the fuel gauge still has 3 bars. By the way, the "fuel gauge" option is very nice to have.


I am also impressed with the sawzall. I have an electric sawzall (Milwaukee)and am not sure if I will ever need it again. This cordless version makes up for having no orbital action yet produces higher rpms than the electric model. This saw rocks just as the circular saw does. These are impressive cordless tools and that is no exaggeration. By the way, the sawzall also has the quick change blade system. No more hex keys. Thankfully.

I have not yet tried the flashlight so I cannot comment on this as of right now, although after reading other reviewers complain about the type of bulb it uses, I am certain it is still adequate as a light source when needed.

I can't believe these cordless tools perform this well. I was in the trades when cordless tools first came out and they were nothing more at that point than a novelty item, other than a few drills.

Milwaukee is, and has always been a great tool choice. I've owned several prior to this purchase, and they have lasted for years.

Buy this set, you won't have any regrets.

I bought this set to use on a new house with a lot of projects. So far each tool has worked as expected and I've gotten very good battery life. The circular saw seems to spin slow (may just be my perception), but has had no problems cutting 2x4s and plywood.

I got this set about a month ago and as a contractor, it has been a great time saver. I do a lot of small projects and punch work and the saws work great for this. Anytime I don't have to drag out extension cords I am happy. The circ saw has no problem cutting through 2x8's, miratec, plywood, etc. and easy to handle. The recip saw has plenty of power and easy to change blades. The driver is has great power and balance and is far less cumbersome and heavy as the Dewalt 18v. I added the impact and it is a bad ass tool that handles large lags and is well balanced and comfortable. The charge indicator on the battery is an asset as well. BTW this set was ranked the best in Fine Homebuiling Magazine's 18v lithium Ion test.

Great Combo Kit for the money. Milwaukee makes quality tool. Haven't had any issues with the charging or batteries. Even the light is fairly useful. Hammer Drill is great with plenty of power. Used it to drill through cinder block when installing a surface mount outlet in my basement. I paid 450.00 at one of the chain home center stores, so 399.99 is a good deal.
