Milwaukee M18 FUEL 2-Tool Combo Kit vs Milwaukee M12 Fuel Hammer Drill & Impact Kit
Buy the M18 FUEL 3697-22 if you drill masonry, drive long lags, or work all day on a crew; it is the more capable kit, with a 1/2 in. hammer drill at 1,400 in-lbs and an impact driver at 2,000 in-lbs and 3,900 RPM. Buy the M12 FUEL kit if you mostly work in tight spaces and want the smallest, lightest tools. Owners rate both highly, but the M18 is the heavier-duty pair and the M12 is the more compact one.
- Choose the M18 FUEL 3697-22 if you need hammer drilling into brick or concrete and full-size fastening power, and you want two 5.0Ah batteries and a hard case.
- Choose the M12 FUEL kit if you work overhead or inside cabinets and want the most compact drill and impact driver, accepting less torque and no hammer mode.
