Verdict: Dewalt DCD471B wins with explicit 0-400/0-1320 RPM settings and E-Clutch (per grounded facts) versus Milwaukee's 2014 release and discontinued status. Milwaukee offers lighter weight than corded predecessors and POWERSTATE motor but trails in modern features. Dewalt's 2020 release and $399 MSRP provide better ongoing support for stud and joist work.
