Nope, 5 lbs for the Milwaukee, 3.5 lbs for the similar DeWalt, and only 1/3 more duration on the Milwaukee battery life but 2x the charging time.
The Milwaukee will run for an hour but it also takes an hour to charge. The DeWalt runs 43 minutes but fully charges in 35 minutes.
The Milwaukee 2703-22 lists for $350.01
The DeWalt DCD790D2 lists for $204.13
Milwaukee tools last forever but nearly everything they make is heavier than the competition. That’s fine for shop tools but bad for job site tools. You don’t need that much overkill unless you’re buying it for life. Even as a GC myself, I’ll sacrifice infinite life for major weight savings and reasonably long life.
They also tend to be higher priced as they are typically built overkill. With constant improvements in technology, new models come out all the time and vendors offer buybacks when you buy in volume. We run 300-400 units on an average day in hard commercial construction and Makita and DeWalts are less expensive, hold up with no issues, and create less injuries from repetitive use than the Milwaukees. They are also preferred due their lighter weight.
By the time they start to show a little wear 3-4 years in, we upgrade to the newer tech and better models, so there’s no use in packing a heavy screw gun all day in already overloaded bags. It adds up over time in wear and injuries.
If you’re worried about the 2/3 battery time of the DeWalt and Makita compared to the Milwaukee, then you aren’t using your apprentices right. They need to bring enough batteries to get it done without a trip back to the gang box.
We’ve used them all and I’ve seen them all with other trades in action and it’s not really common to see Milwaukee cordless screw guns in the field. DeWalts and Makitas are far more common. Hole Hawgs and Bandsaws are mostly Milwaukee, cordless bandsaws are a split between Milwaukee and DeWalt, worm drive saws are pretty much always Skilsaws, and routers are Porter Cable, Bosch, or DeWalt. Jigsaws are usually Bosch or DeWalt.
These are commercial high rises, hospitals, university buildings, schools, and they are all Union construction projects on the West Coast. You use what works without killing your guys in high speed production because you need to last 25-30 years to collect that pension.
