Overview
The Milwaukee 2997-22 is an 18 volt cordless combo kit weighing 14.9 pounds as packaged, with a 20 by 6 by 14 inch footprint that points to a full kit box rather than a single bare tool. The -22 model number in Milwaukee's system marks a kit sold with two batteries and a charger.
This is Milwaukee's M18 FUEL combo kit format, pairing a hammer drill with an impact driver in one case, aimed at tradespeople who want both drilling and fastening covered from a single battery platform. The listed 2,000 RPM speed reflects the drill side of the kit.

- Includes two batteries and a charger
Who it's for
Fits contractors and serious DIYers starting fresh on Milwaukee's M18 platform who want a drill and impact driver together with batteries and charger included. Less suited to anyone who only needs one tool, since a combo kit costs more than a single bare tool.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Full kit includes drill, impact driver and batteries
- Two batteries mean less downtime charging
- Sets up the full M18 platform in one purchase
- Bulkier and heavier than a single bare tool
- Higher cost than buying one tool alone
Performance notes
At nearly 15 pounds packaged, this is a full kit weight rather than a single tool weight, and the 2,000 RPM drill speed suits general drilling and driving rather than high-speed applications. Having two batteries in the box means one can charge while the other runs.
