(1) The M12 FUEL and Skil reviews are by the same authors, but the Skil review as a couple years earlier so it didn't have the FUEL to compare with. The reviewer clearly liked the FUEL product.
(2) The youtube review is between the Skil Brushless vs the M12 regular (i.e., not brushless) so I'm not surprised that the brushless could outperform.
(3) Yes Milwaukee is across the board more expensive than any of the other cordfree lines, but they also have a particularly deep ecosystem and almost no lemons in the line. Milwaukee is built for and targeted to contractors, Skil more targeted to DIY/prosumer.
I have not used any of these multitools (I'm still using a corded Fein) so I can't really make a comparison - I suspect the Skil would be a great choice for people who aren't really invested in an ecosystem and don't expect to expand beyond a few base tools. But for somebody already in the FUEL ecosystem, none of Milwaukee's tools have let me down and with the reviews out there I would only be shopping for the Milwaukee FUEL choice.
They prorate the deal savings across the two line items on the receipt. In this case, it is a $169 kit plus a $119 battery, for a pre-deal total of $288 that you are getting for $169 which equates to a 41% savings.
41% off of a $119 battery comes to $69.

On 9/5 HD is running their M12 promo. See the attached image.
If you wait you can get the m12 Osc tool with x2 6AH batteries for 30 dollars more.

Skil can beat Milwaukee!
....
In short, having done the research across lower powered multi tools before buying, Milwaukee at 12v is severely overpriced and the cheaper Skil 12v matches/beats (ebay.com everyday has them dirt-cheap).
Add non-tool features like the fact the Skil 12v battery can charge your phone like a powerbank makes the Skil the no-brainer cheaper choice.
...
You'd have to move up to the Milwaukee 18v lineup for the price vs performance to make sense.

Waited about five minutes, refreshed order history, and was able to cancel the 6.0 battery by itself. I noted that it says you must cancel within 45 minutes of the confirmation email.
