When you're shopping for power tools, the hardest part isn't finding a reliable brand-it's knowing which type of tool actually matches the next job. Here you have four Milwaukee M18 cordless options: two sliding compound miter saws and two compact drivers. Listed prices span USD 65.41 to USD 350.00, so the real decision comes down to the kind of work you'll do: angled cuts on trim, large crown molding, heavy fastening, or everyday driving.
Quick Take
If cutting is the priority, the 10-inch and 12-inch miter saws are the ones to compare. If you're turning bolts or driving screws, the 1/2-inch impact wrench and 1/4-inch impact driver are built for that. The saws list at USD 350.00 each, while the drivers are listed at USD 65.41 and USD 109.99. Match the tool to the task, not the other way around.

Product Notes
Milwaukee 2734-21 M18 FUEL 18V 10\" Dual Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw Kit
The 10-inch blade and dual bevel sliding compound design make this a strong candidate for cutting baseboards, crown, and other angled trim. The listing highlights a shadow cut line indicator, which helps you line up cuts without marking a line, and lists an 8 Ah battery capacity. It also lists up to 400 cuts per charge. The listed price of USD 350.00 ties with the 12-inch saw as the highest in this set. The blade diameter is 10 inches, so it won't handle the same wide stock as the 12-inch model. The title calls it a kit, while the battery-included status is false.
Milwaukee 2739-80 M18 18V 12\" Cordless Miter Saw - Bare Tool
This 12-inch cordless miter saw is the larger cutting option in the group. Its blade diameter suits bigger baseboards and nested crown applications, and the description lists a 7-1/2-inch nested crown capacity along with up to 330 cuts per charge. The listed price is USD 350.00, the same as the 10-inch version. The product title says bare tool, and the battery-included status is false. The dual bevel sliding compound design matches the smaller saw, but the extra inch of blade and the larger crown capacity are the main reasons to choose it if your projects regularly involve wider material.
Milwaukee M18 FUEL 1/2\" Cordless Impact Wrench Brushless 650N.m Bare Tool Only
The 1/2-inch impact wrench is built for torque-heavy jobs. With 650 N.m listed in the title and a brushless motor, it's aimed at busting nuts and bolts in tight spaces. The attributes list a 5 Ah battery capacity and a keyless 1/2-inch chuck. It's a bare-tool listing with no battery included, and the listed price is USD 65.41, the lowest in this set. That lower price doesn't make it a general-purpose driver; it's a specialized fastening tool. If your work centers on disassembly and stubborn fasteners, this is the one to examine.
Milwaukee 2953-20 FUEL 18V Li-Ion Brushless Cordless 1/4\" Hex Impact Driver 4GEN
The 1/4-inch hex impact driver covers everyday screw driving and general fastening. Its description lists a compact 3.9-inch length and a keyless hex chuck, plus a 22-minute charging time and a 2 Ah battery capacity. It's a bare-tool unit with no battery included, and the listed price is USD 109.99. That puts it in the middle of this set's price range. The hex chuck is handy for driver bits, and the compact length makes it easy to handle in tighter spots. It won't deliver the same torque as the 1/2-inch impact wrench, but for routine fastening and assembly, it's a compact tool to reach for.
