To all those asking why buy this or why is this even being made? The brushless options are in a sense replacing what used to be the brushed models. And on top of that if your just getting into or starting off in any kind of trade this combo is cheaper that opting out for the fuel combo by a lot $200 compared to $400. And you’d still have money to buy bits, hand tools, or whatever else you might need for work

[@jayd6607]

So are they finally going to phase out the brushed tools?

[@treywashburn8859]

@@jayd6607they’ve made them for so long they probably have a huge back storage of them so who knows. But Ryobi keeps making brushed stuff so who knows

[@TailTaleOutdoors]

​@jayd6607 I don't see brushed tools going anywhere. They have their place. Especially in the m12 platform. While m12 offers Brushless, fuel, etc; a lot of people still like their brushed m12 line. Cheap and super reliable.

[@John_D2]

What more do you need ? For the average tradesman, those will handle most of the work that's out there. And, it's excellent deal when home depot has a sale of $189 for the kit.

[@brentdiez7012]

Not a tradesman, but a DIY guy who likes using good tools. I have this set with the hammer drill (and handle). When you look at the price, it offers good value, at close to the price of lower quality (ryobi, craftsman, etc) tools. A little bit more gets a whole lot better tool.

[@MrChancebandit]

I have a set of the old brushless . Still working strong and has built my house. Just purchased the brushless for a ln emergency backup . Happy with them

[@Robbyfrags90]

Finally someone reviews these! Ive been waiting for weeks to see them in action! I ordered the 3651-20 impact with the 3 speed switch its the same exact impact just with speed sittings. Thank you for doing what all other reviewers have failed to and getting us a review of these tools.

[@rileycoble5842]

I got a question. Why would you buy that at the same price as the fuel?

[@Robbyfrags90]

​@rileycoble5842 i own the Gen3 Fuel impact also, and I find it too powerful for a lot of the jobs I have to do. I bought the new brushless for a more compact option as my daily driver impact. I was using an old impact but after 8 years it finally crapped out. I'm hoping it will replace my old brushed impact as my daily driver

@@Robbyfrags90 well I can understand that the gen 3 and 4 are crazy powerful. I use the gen 4. The gen 4 is only 1/16 longer maybe it’s wider, I don’t know on that part. I’m sure that it’s a fantastic impact but it just seems like asking the same price as the flagship model was a bad move. I was just wondering what your reasoning was.

[@michaela3330]

Wow, the drill looks tougher than the DCD794. Looks about the same power as the new compact Metabo Hpt but smaller in size!

[@carlosgavino6874]

I have the compact m18 brushless hammer drill and boy is it a blessing especially between studs and quick tapcons it's had a big order to fill has not skipped a beat

[@CodeNfX]

I got this for $102 from Home Depot replacing my 12 year old black & decker drill. Amazing upgrade!

[@fi9ueroa]

I bought these set and I love it, came with a 2.0 Ah batteries but upgraded to 3.0 high output, zero regrets. For low voltage cabling are amazing. Light weight and powerful.

[@OUTILSCLIPSQC]

Very nice kit , for someone how don't want buy m12 stuff here we go !! I am impress by the power but the lack of side handle for the drill will make me stick with my gen4 althought it would be a handy drill for small job .

[@MrCaribe65]

I have the Gen M18 Fuel hammer drill and this little drill would make me never use it. That's why I can't but it, lol.

[@247Combat]

Milwaukee already has a compact line its called the m12, the best compact line there currently is. The m12 impact and hammer drill have more features as well. The flaw with all these "compact" lines is no matter how small they make the tool heads, the big batteries mess all that compactness up lol. And thats why m12 shines for compact tools and they get all the features like the big brother and in some cases even more. If your gonna slap a 3.0HO battery on it, u might as well just go m18 fuel with one key lol

[@shawnmcgarcia5714]

But the batteries aren’t compatible.. like if you have the orbital sander or the palm router . Just easier to have all the same size batteries

[@247Combat]

I guess but to me most people in the milwaukee line have both m18 & m12. So many great tools on m12 that m18 doesnt have. Examples, pin nailer, detail sander, ratchets etc....

[@devonboyer626]

I had the last generation. Insane power for being bottom tier brushless tools.

[@zeroelus]

I have that previous gen too and I guess this is why I was able to find it on sale. I bought it mostly for the impact driver for basic car maintenance I do and it's plenty powerful enough. It's crazy that these are the cheap bottom tier tools, I bought many years ago other "higher level tools" and these just blow them out of the water for most tasks.

[@pierre-yvesdubreuil9315]

for wood drilling, the spade drill bit into the impact driver is way effortless!

[@MrSupernova111]

Pretty cool! I need set like this for around the house work.

[@3vlogs487]

I got this and I put the huge “high output” battery the shop had on it and it was pretty impressive for its size.

[@icyrene1]

I have to say another stellar review. I have the set ..and last year’s version, this is version is faster and stronger..both good ..the lighting is a bit better than the older version..

[@rlee6984]

I would love to see a size and output comparison vs the new M18 fuel 1/4 impact and hammer drill considering that the prices are pretty close to each other with all these special buys.

[@donnysanner342]

An interesting fact that is certainly a fact is most folks buy more a drill than they actually need.

[@DiligentDave1966]

I was considering this set, but I really think I prefer an impact driver with multiple modes.

Milwaukee undercut their m12 fuel drill/ impact combo. This m18 brushless combo is smaller and lighter and more powerful than the m12!

[@jacobmurphy690]

Well m18 is their more powerful tradesman line whereas m12 is directed more at house use

For me a much better buy than the M12 equivalents. I don’t like the battery ergonomics of the M12 so these are perfect alternatives

[@stevenmccall2127]

HDepot has this kit on sale for $189. But they are selling each tool individually in a kit for $99 includes 1 2.0 Ah battery charger and bag. So IMO its better to buy each individually spend an extra $9.00 that way you get an extra $79 charge and bag for $9.00. Lowes has the Metabo HPT kit KC18DEXQBM for an $129 killer deal.

[@MegaFrank1960]

You are absolutely right ! I'm returning my combo (just purchased) tomorrow for the individual units

[@dirtyaznstyle4156]

So why are the specs decreasing over the old 2900 series?

[@wim0104]

unless you don't have any M12, it would make a lot more sense to buy the M12 version of these.

[@devonboyer626]

Unless you planned on buying more m18 in the future.

[@is5032]

Also if you hate the battery handle stem design of the M12 and find it uncomfortable. This is a perfect response to the Dewalt Atomic range pared with Powerstack. We just need a compact Forge battery for it

[@charlesjacksoniii8787]

I think this is good for a carpenter or cabinetmaker to.

[@steffendetrick]

The previous model had a handle . I don’t know why they decided to release it without one

[@engineer_alv]

no, the previous model was the 2801-20 and it didn't come with one. There is also a longer 2902-20 model with hammer function but that wasn't a compact hammer drill to begin with. And it has way more torque, that's why it comes with a handle

[@steffendetrick]

@@engineer_alv the 2902-20 was not considered compact. But it was the predecessor to this one. That was the only non-fuel brushless drill that they had this drill is part of the brushless line not the compact line. They just decided to make a compact because that’s the direction the market is heading.

[@engineer_alv]

@@steffendetrick but that's a bigger drill. The 2801-20 was what all retailers were selling as M18 Brushless and it was drill only just like the one in the video. The 2902-20 was sort of an odd duck and as mentioned it had way more torque. That's why it's difficult to believe these new compacts replaced it.

[@bluemantom77]

They seem nice I like Bosch the Milwaukee have more power but for me Bosch is well made to last for years it's a trade off I mean Milwaukee have the forge battery coming so this tool will be killer Bosch should be fellowing sult behind the scenes working one a version of pouch batteries so let's see what the future holds nice kit I am sure people will buy

[@engineer_alv]

I remember watching to one of the livestreams made by Bosch UK here in YT and someone asked about the pouch style batteries. Their short answer was no they are not working on those. The technology is still a bit niche and the pricepoints are way higher than a 21700 cell battery with comparable Ah. If they find a big enough market for it they will change their mind, though. Personally I don't see people going crazy with the stacked cells. Moreover the 5Ah and higher capacity stacked cells don't represent a noticeable difference in size to a 18650 or 21700 with the same Ah but the difference in output is definitely there. Now that you mentioned Bosch, their entry level offering the GSR1V-400 looks like a letdown in power, I'm more interested on their GSB18V-90 compact hammerdrill with selectable anti kickback if it ever comes to North America.

[@bluemantom77]

​@@engineer_alv I happen to agree Bosch came out with profacter batties and tools so the next evolution would be to make the next generation of profactor batteries a pouch type I'm sure bosch is not going to release some inferior product they're probably going to try to design it with isolation for each cell pouch for protection they will be severely advanced at least when it comes to captive circuitry design would be ahead of everyone else some of their tools are ahead .... I'm glad you guys got ope line out there with a lawnmower and some other products I'm sure we'll get it here eventually there is a market for it thank you for your comment

172 is toasty, but not fire toasty. With that said, not many would push these like I did and IF you do, you need to get the FUEL models or larger tools to handle the jobs you are asking the tool to complete.
