Our take on the Milwaukee M12 Combo Kit W/ FUEL Hammer Drill + FUEL Impact Driver + Ratchet

A three-tool Milwaukee M12 kit built around the Fuel brushless hammer drill, Fuel impact driver and a 3/8-inch ratchet, all running on the same 12V battery platform. The Fuel tools use brushless motors, which give more runtime and torque per charge than Milwaukee's older brushed M12 tools. The compact size and light weight suit cabinet work, electrical and automotive jobs where a full-size 18V tool is too bulky. Against 18V kits it trades peak power for portability, and against cheaper 12V kits it adds the ratchet and brushless motors.

Cons

Questions and answers

Is the M12 Fuel kit enough for drilling into concrete?

The hammer drill has a hammer mode for light masonry, such as small holes in brick or block. For repeated or large-diameter concrete drilling, an 18V SDS rotary hammer is the better tool.

How does this kit compare with Milwaukee's 18V Fuel tools?

The M12 tools are smaller and lighter and run on 12V batteries. The 18V Fuel line delivers more torque and runtime for heavy drilling and driving, at more weight and size.

What is the ratchet used for?

The 3/8-inch ratchet tightens and loosens nuts and bolts in spaces too tight for a drill or impact driver, such as engine bays and under-sink plumbing. It is not a substitute for a torque wrench on critical fasteners.

Do the tools share batteries with other Milwaukee M12 tools?

Yes. All three tools run on Milwaukee's M12 12V batteries, so they work with the rest of the M12 lineup. Higher-capacity M12 packs add runtime.

What comes in the kit?

The kit includes the Fuel hammer drill, Fuel impact driver and 3/8-inch ratchet, along with batteries and a charger in a carrying case. Check the listed contents for the exact battery count and capacity.

Is this kit a good choice for a first power tool set?

It covers drilling, driving and fastening in a compact package, which suits apartment and light renovation work. If you plan heavy framing or deck building, an 18V kit is the better starting point.
