How strongly 4 sources agree — expert labs and real owners, with community voices weighted heavier. Not one reviewer’s opinion; the pattern across all of them.
- Two-tool kit (drill + impact driver) with two batteries and charger for $99
- 275 in-lbs of torque — up to 25% more than competing 12V drills per Milwaukee
- M12 REDLITHIUM batteries with 30-minute charger included
- Brushed motor (not brushless) — less efficient than FUEL versions
- 1.5Ah batteries have shorter runtime than larger capacity options
- YMMV on pricing — some users report seeing $169 at their local stores
“The drill/driver combo is super versatile and surprisingly powerful for a 12v tool. I also have a M18 fuel hammer drill and M18 Surge driver.. Truth be told, I reach for the M12 far more often.”r/MilwaukeeTool community member
