Milwaukee did themselves a disservice by overstating their claims.
It's their advertisement against real-world results.

To summarize, TTC found the Kobalt beating the M12; PF found the M12 beating the Kobalt; then TTC found that the outcome depends on specific tool/battery combinations.
They both have about the same head size, so the heads should fit into the same places.
I have the Kobalt and it's great in terms of power, but I'm still somewhat considering picking up this M12 as the overall length and bulk is MUCH lower, so if you need to fit the whole length of the tool into small spaces, this one will work out better.
It's very much a YMMV situation.
