Is this kit worth it over buying the drill and driver alone?

If you want a blower for shop cleanup, the kit bundles it with the two core tools and one battery system. If you already own a blower, buying the drill and driver separately usually makes more sense.

How does it compare with DeWalt and Makita kits?

All three brands make strong brushless drill and driver combos. Milwaukee's edge is the M18 battery ecosystem and the FUEL motor line; DeWalt and Makita offer comparable power with their own battery platforms, so pick the system you already own.

Can the hammer drill handle concrete?

It drills small holes in masonry and brick in hammer mode, which suits anchors and light jobs. For repeated large holes in concrete, a corded rotary hammer is the better tool.

What batteries come in the kit?

Kits typically ship with M18 batteries and a charger, though capacity varies by bundle. Check the specific bundle for battery size, since small packs limit runtime on the blower and heavy drilling.

Does the blower use the same battery as the drill?

Yes. All three tools run on M18 batteries, so one pack and charger serve the whole kit and any other M18 tool you own.

Is the case big enough for extra batteries?

The hard case is molded for the included tools and charger, with limited room for spares. Most owners carry extra batteries separately.

Our take on the Milwaukee M18 FUEL Hammer Drill, Impact Driver, and Blower Kit

This is a three-tool Milwaukee M18 FUEL kit built around brushless motors and the M18 battery platform. The hammer drill and impact driver are the core tools; the blower is the odd one out and is a compact hand-held unit for clearing hard surfaces. Against rivals like DeWalt and Makita kits, Milwaukee's draw is the FUEL brushless motors and the wide M18 battery ecosystem. Reviewers rate the drill and driver highly for torque and durability; the blower is seen as a useful extra rather than a serious yard tool.

What reviewers say

Owners of Milwaukee M18 FUEL tools consistently praise the drill and impact driver for power, speed and build quality, and many call them the best in their class. The blower gets mixed notes: handy for cleanup, but limited for real yard work. Complaints center on battery size in kits and on the blower feeling like a bonus rather than a headline tool.

What people mention

Build qualityPraisedReviewers describe the tools as solid and durable, with chucks and triggers that hold up to daily use.
BlowerMixedBuyers find the blower useful for sawdust and garage cleanup but weak for leaves and larger yards.
