A couple days we published a review of the Milwaukee M18 impact driver and drill combo. This video is a quick overview of a slightly older model impact driver, but it still has many similar features.

I wanted to post this since it is a good video overview of many of the features we discussed. This model in the video is the 2650-22. We covered the 2691-22. Check out the review.

Not sure if you are going to need a drill or an impact driver? The Milwaukee 2691-22 18v Compact Drill & Impact Driver Combo Kit provides you with the best of both worlds. And it’s also a pretty affordable package, especially considering that these are Lithium Ion powered tools.Both impact drivers and drills have their own specific areas where they shine.

Impact drivers are great for situations where you need high torque to quickly drive long screws into hardwood or fasten bolts quickly and securely. Drills are great for drilling pilot holes and driving screws in more lightweight applications. By having both of these tools available, all of your fastening or drilling needs will be covered.

Milwaukee is known for heavy duty (and heavy) tools. This set gives you the quality, heavy duty feel of Milwaukee tools in a more compact design.

These tools are compact, ergonomic and easy to operate. And affordable. All of these are good reasons to want to take a deeper look at what they are capable of.

Watch this demonstration of a Makita miter saw at AWFS 2009. Note the taller fences and the rail system. This is a pretty slick saw.

We recently did a Makita LS1016L miter saw review, and covered a lot of the features that can be seen in this demonstration.
