Score: 70/100Rankings
The Milwaukee 2694-24 is a professional-grade 4-tool combo kit designed for contractors needing cordless versatility with power rivaling traditional corded tools.

It is best suited for professional contractors needing robust power for concrete drilling and cutting.
The Bosch GXL18V-501B25 is a versatile 5-tool combo kit featuring a unique 2-in-1 impact driver/wrench and compact, lightweight tools. Its main trade-off is the compromise of the multi-function impact driver versus dedicated tools. It is best suited for DIY homeowners and small contractors needing portability and battery interchangeability.
