Nothing. I had the m18 set and didn't like it. I got the m12 fuel and its the perfect size for home / home shop use.

I was drilling holes in a concrete slab, my m18 “brushless” vs my son’s m12 fuel hammer drill. He destroyed me. Granted, mines old tech, but still. Wasn’t even close and his drill could fit in a cargo pocket.

I even had the m28 set for work. Pretty much hated it unless I was drilling multiple 1/2" holes in concrete. It was like trying to handle a Die Hard battery and an old Skil hammer drill in 1.

What was the apr financing a set up like that lol. I bought an m18 fuel circular saw to cut Hardie board. One of the most impressive cordless tools I’ve ever used. I have a 25 yr old corded Milwaukee that isn’t this powerful.

Not every "pro" is rocking Hilti or Festool,so what are they using if not Milwaukee, DeWalt, or Makita?

No idea what those are so I must not be a pro.

Lowe’s has a buy two 18v Dewalt batteries and pick two tools deal they have been running this summer for $299.

You have to select the tools shown and view options to see the 3/8 and 1/2 impacts. You can also get a 1/2” drill or angle grinder. Their jig saw is well rated iirc. I’m really tempted to get the set of impacts.

FWIW: I have the M18 Surge. I find the quieter operation to be the main selling point. I use it everywhere, including yesterday to take out the 30 bolts holding up the lower splash shield in place.

dewalt deal is sorta meh.. the free tools aren't the top tier dewalt(from my 30s glance at them), and the batteries aren't powerstack.
however if you need 2 of the free tools it is a good deal.
