If tool tracking, inventory, and tool control top your list, Milwaukee handily wins this area, though DeWalt continues to improve. When comparing DeWalt brushless vs Milwaukee brushless tools, both employ smart electronics to better control the speed and power of their tools while cutting, drilling, driving, or sawing.

You can also mark tools as lost or stolen and use the Tool Connect network to find them.
