The Milwaukee 3497-22 M12 FUEL combo kit pairs a 1/2-inch drill driver with a 1/4-inch hex impact driver, both built on Milwaukee's brushless M12 FUEL platform. The tools are subcompact and designed for work in tight spaces, such as inside cabinets or between studs. Reviewers consistently praise the power and build quality for the size, though some note the kit's higher cost compared to entry-level 12V sets. It suits professionals and serious DIYers who want lightweight, capable tools without moving to an 18V system.

Owners rate the kit very highly, praising its power, compact size, and build quality. Many mention it as a reliable choice for professional use, though a few note the premium price.
The Milwaukee 3497-22 is a cordless combo kit with two M12 FUEL tools: a 1/2-inch hammer drill/driver and a 1/4-inch hex impact driver. Both are subcompact and built for tight spaces such as cabinets, between studs, overhead work, and electrical boxes.
Both tools use a brushless motor and REDLINK PLUS intelligence to manage power and heat. The drill has a 1/2-inch all-metal chuck, an all-metal gearcase, and a mechanical clutch for consistent screw driving across fastener sizes. The impact driver has 4-mode drive control, including a self-tapping screw mode. Its Tri-LED lights surround the collet to light the fastener and reduce shadows.
The kit includes two batteries, an M12 REDLITHIUM XC 4.0 and an M12 REDLITHIUM CP 2.0. The first gives longer runtime and the second gives a lighter, more compact setup. The tools are part of the M12 system, which includes over 125 tools.
