Our take on the 3497-22 Milwaukee M12 Fuel Cordless 2-Tool Combo Kit

A two-tool subcompact kit built on Milwaukee's M12 Fuel brushless platform: a 1/2-inch hammer drill/driver and a 1/4-inch hex impact driver, plus an XC 4.0 battery, a CP 2.0 battery, a charger and a contractor bag. The drill is among the shortest and most powerful in its subcompact class, and the impact driver is about 5 inches long, so both fit into cabinets, between studs and overhead work. It suits homeowners, cabinet installers, electricians and anyone who wants light, capable tools rather than a full-size 18V set. Against 12V rivals from DeWalt and Bosch it trades a little top-end torque for compactness and Milwaukee's wide M12 battery line; against Milwaukee's own 18V Fuel tools it gives up heavy-duty drilling and lag-bolt driving.

Best forHomeowners and DIYers who want one compact kitCabinet, trim and finish workElectricians and installers working overhead or in tight spacesTradespeople already invested in M12 batteries
Pros
  • Brushless Fuel motors with strong power for 12V tools
  • Very short drill body and roughly 5-inch impact driver reach tight spots
  • Two batteries included: XC 4.0 for runtime, CP 2.0 for light weight
  • Shares the large M12 battery ecosystem
  • Hammer mode adds masonry capability for small holes
Cons
  • 12V platform limits heavy drilling and large-hole work
  • Chuck and hex driver are separate tools, not one convertible unit
  • No hard case, only a contractor bag
  • XC 4.0 battery adds bulk and weight to the drill

What reviewers say

Owners of the M12 Fuel drill and impact driver generally rate them highly for power-to-size ratio, smooth triggers and brushless efficiency. Complaints tend to focus on the limits of the 12V platform and on battery bulk with the XC pack rather than on the tools' build.

What people mention
  • Size and weightPraisedOwners say both tools are short and light enough to use overhead and in cabinets without fatigue.
  • PowerPraisedReviewers report the brushless drill and impact driver handle most driving and small-hole drilling tasks with little bogging.
  • Battery runtimePraisedThe included XC 4.0 pack is described as lasting through a full day of light to moderate work.
  • 12V limitsMixedSome owners note the platform struggles with large hole saws and heavy lag bolts compared with 18V tools.
  • Battery bulkCriticisedThe XC 4.0 pack is said to make the drill noticeably heavier and longer than with the compact CP battery.
  • CaseCriticisedBuyers would prefer a hard case; the kit ships with a soft contractor bag.

About the 3497-22 Milwaukee M12 Fuel Cordless 2-Tool Combo Kit

This Milwaukee M12 FUEL combo kit pairs a 1/2" hammer drill/driver with a 1/4" hex impact driver. Both tools use a POWERSTATE brushless motor. REDLINK PLUS Intelligence manages thermal performance in the drill/driver.

The drill/driver is a subcompact model that is short in length for working in tight spaces. The impact driver is 5" long and 7.6" tall with the M12 CP 2.0Ah battery attached. Three LEDs surround the bit to give brighter light with fewer shadows.

The kit includes two M12 REDLITHIUM batteries, a 4.0Ah extended capacity pack and a 2.0Ah compact pack, plus a charger and a contractor bag. Both tools are part of the M12 System, which is compatible with over 125 solutions.

Questions and answers

Is this kit enough for home projects?
Yes for most household work: assembling furniture, hanging shelves, driving screws and drilling small holes in wood, metal and light masonry. For repeated large-hole drilling or heavy framing, an 18V kit is a better fit.
How does it compare with Milwaukee's 18V Fuel tools?
The M12 tools are shorter and lighter and cost less to build out, but they give up top-end torque and runtime. Choose M12 for tight spaces and light-to-medium work; choose 18V for sustained heavy duty.
What batteries come in the box?
One M12 Redlithium XC 4.0 extended-capacity pack and one CP 2.0 compact pack, plus an M12 charger. The CP 2.0 keeps the tools light; the XC 4.0 extends runtime.
Does the drill have hammer mode?
Yes. The 1/2-inch drill/driver is a hammer drill, so it can drill small holes in brick and block in addition to wood and metal.
Can I use my existing M12 batteries?
Yes. Both tools run on any M12 Redlithium battery, so older M12 packs work, though runtime depends on capacity.
What is included besides the two tools?
The drill, the impact driver, the XC 4.0 battery, the CP 2.0 battery, the charger and a contractor bag. Bits and drill bits are not included.
