The Metabo HPT 18V MultiVolt Cordless Hammer Drill and Impact Driver combo kit features brushless motors and MultiVolt battery compatibility for 18V or 36V operation. It includes advanced technologies like Reactive Force Control (RFC) on the drill and Triple Hammer tech on the driver to enhance power, speed, and user control. Ideal for professional contractors and DIY pros needing versatile tools for drilling and fastening.
The Milwaukee 2892-22CT is a compact, brushless 2-tool combo kit that prioritizes ergonomics and portability without sacrificing essential power.
