Overview
Milwaukee lists the 2598-22 under a generic Specialty category, but the specs, 12 volt battery power, 1700 RPM, a compact 2.3 pound weight, place it with Milwaukee's small M12 driver-class tools rather than anything exotic.
The -22 suffix in Milwaukee's numbering typically marks a kit that bundles two batteries with a charger and case, though this listing does not spell out kit contents beyond the tool specs. At 2.3 pounds it is built for one-handed use in tight spaces, not heavy-duty driving.
