Dewalt DCD471B 20V Max Xr vs Milwaukee M18 Fuel Hole Hawg 2708 20
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.

Dewalt DCD471B 20V Max Xr: 8/10
Milwaukee M18 Fuel Hole Hawg 2708 20: 6/10
