Milwaukee M12 Fuel Hammer Drill & Impact Kit vs Milwaukee M12 4-Tool Combo Kit

Buy the 2-tool kit if you want a hammer drill and the strongest, most compact drill and impact driver pair. Buy the 4-tool kit if you need an oscillating multi-tool and a HACKZALL recip saw more than hammer drilling. The 2-tool kit carries the higher rating (4.8 vs 4.7) and adds a hammer function plus a 4.0Ah battery; the 4-tool kit wins on tool count and covers cutting and flush work the 2-tool kit cannot.

  • Choose the M12 2-Tool Combo Kit if you drill into masonry or concrete and want the most powerful, most compact subcompact drill and impact driver with a bigger 4.0Ah battery in the bag.
  • Choose the M12 4-Tool Combo Kit if you need an oscillating multi-tool and a HACKZALL saw for cutting and flush work, and can live without a hammer function.

What reviewers say

Milwaukee M12 Fuel Hammer Drill & Impact Kit

  • 4.8 / 53,242 ratings

Rated 4.8 out of 5 from 3,242 ratings. Owners treat the pair as a compact, dependable daily kit for trade and home work, with size and power the usual praise.

What people mention
  • SizePraisedOwners say both tools fit where larger drills and drivers will not.
  • PowerPraisedReviewers find the 12V Fuel tools strong for their class.
  • BatteryMixedThe two included packs cover most jobs, but some want a second XC battery.
  • Hammer modeMixedIt handles light masonry, but owners say it is no replacement for a full-size hammer drill.

Milwaukee M12 4-Tool Combo Kit

  • 4.7 / 51,552 ratings

Owners rate the kit 4.7 out of 5 across more than 1,500 ratings. They like the compact size, the brushless drill and impact driver, and the value of getting four tools on one battery. Complaints center on battery runtime and the modest power of the 12V saw.

What people mention
  • Size and weightPraisedOwners repeatedly call the drill and impact driver the most compact tools they own and say they fit where 18V tools will not.
  • Battery runtimeCriticisedThe included CP2.0 packs are seen as small, and users report short runtimes in the HACKZALL and multi-tool.
  • PowerMixedThe impact driver is considered strong for 12V, but the recip saw is called slow on thicker material.

Questions and answers

Which is better for drilling into brick or concrete?
The 2-tool kit. Its drill has a hammer mode, and the 4-tool kit's drill does not. For masonry, the 2-tool kit is the only real choice of the two.
Which has more tools for the money?
The 4-tool kit adds an oscillating multi-tool and a HACKZALL recip saw. The 2-tool kit counters with a hammer drill and a larger 4.0Ah battery.
Which impact driver is more compact?
The 4-tool kit's driver is 4.3 in. long. The 2-tool kit's FUEL driver is about 5 in. long but Milwaukee calls it the most compact in its subcompact class.
Is the 4-tool kit worth stepping up to?
Only if you will use the multi-tool and HACKZALL. If your work is drilling and driving, the 2-tool kit gives you a hammer mode and a bigger battery instead.
Do both kits use the same batteries?
Yes. Both run on M12 REDLITHIUM packs and the same M12 charger, so batteries swap between them and across the M12 line.
Which do owners rate higher?
The 2-tool kit, at 4.8 from 3,242 ratings versus 4.7 from 1,552 for the 4-tool kit. The gap is small.
