I'm a contractor. I have both the Bosch 36 volt 4 tool kit and the Milwaukee V28 volt 4 tool kit. Both are good kits. The Bosch saws have rafter hooks on them which are very handy. The V28 has more power and the batteries last longer per charge. I'm not saying the Bosch is weak. Bosch 36 Volt is the 2nd most powerfull cordless tool I've used. American Bosch tools have a 2.0 amphour rating. Bosch gave their Europe versions 2.6 amphours. Way to go Bosch!! The V28 batteries are 3.0 amp hours. The Bosch saws will stall out if you strain them too much. They do this to protect the battery. It's slightly annoying when 32 feet up on a ladder but otherwise a good feature. The V28 does not have this feature and my batteries have held well up under heavy use for over 4 years. The V28 drill can get hot when screwing off a large deck mid-summer. The V28 drill has a metal chuck. The Bosch 36 Volt has a metal chuck with a plastic sleeve. When drilling in tight places the chuck may rub creating sharp grooves in the chuck which will cut your hand (can be sanded to remove them). Both chucks grip bits well. The V28 drill is well balanced. The Bosch 36 v drill is a little akward when holding it but not to bad. The Bosch 36 Volt drill does not stand up well when placed on a floor as the battery has a small flat bottom. The V28 circular saw has a metal guide. The Bosch circular saw has a heavy duty plastic guide which may not be as heavy duty if dropped. The Bosch circular saw guide does work better when cutting a 45 degree bevel cut. The V28 circular saw guide gets hung up and doesn't open easily when cutting a 45 degree bevel (you have to open the guide with your hand but most saws operate like this). The V28 circular saw comes with the rip guide and it has numbers on it. The Bosch circular saw does not come with a rip guide, (which was difficult to purchase as nobody carries it), and it does not have numbers on it. Both sawzalls work well. Bosch has a slightly better blade holder but the V28 blade holder still works well. Bottom line is purchase whichever tool or kit is cheaper as they both are good tools and have good a warranty.Get more detail about Bosch CPK40-36 36-Volt Combo Kit with 2 XL Batteries, 4-Piece.
