MilwaukeeElectric Tools 2598-22 M12 Fuel 2 Pc Kit- 1/2" Hammer Drill & 1/4" Impact

Great kit, great tools, great price.After some research I chose the M12 fuel as the best cordless power tools for my needs.After using the tools for over a week, I can say that both tools have more then enough power for all odd jobs around the hose, and even for the more demanding jobs. all that in a compact and well priced package.The bag in which the tools come in is very durable and practical.One negative aspect of the drill is that it is a bit off axis, noting too bad, considering the price point .The other disadvantage I found using the tools is that the base of the trigger can become a pressure point.Delivered to Israel in 7 days.Note that the price dose not include Israeli tax, customs and handling fees, which stack up to additional 283 NIS.I modified the charger to work on 220 V ac after watching a video on youtube. nothing to complicated. So far it works just fine.I am over the roof from this order!!I defiantly recommend the deal!!

Like must reviews of these tools, just have to say they are excellent tools as expected. Plenty of power, the torque selector on both the impact driver and the drill are just perfect for heavy use to a more precise and delicate use. The impact driver is just amazing for automotive use... its a 1/4 drive so don't expect to loose suspension bolts; body panels, valve covers, radiators, its freaking fast!! Also I have mounted a gas tank of a 4Runner with the impact driver like nothing. For engine assembly is so useful, makes the job done really fast. Obviously after that you have to use the torque wrench. .... About the battery well for a day of heavy use it will last with ease the 2.0 Amp Battery..... the 4.0 Amp last so much longer but its a bit intrusive in tight places.The charger is fast, the tool bag is great. I cant say anything bad about these tools.

Milwaukee shaved quite a bit off the length of the 2504-20 hammer drill compared to the 2404-20. We measured 6-9/16″ down from 7-3/4″. That’s a 1-3/16″ reduction in length! The way they did it was to redesign the brushless motor assembly so they could inline the mode switch and clutch into the twist ring. They also moved the cooling fins to the very rear of the driver. All of this works together to save space. For weight, Milwaukee dropped 2.4 ounces. That may not sound like much, but it matters over the long haul, particularly if you’re working above eye level or doing repetitive tasks.Updated Milwaukee M12 FUEL Impact Driver vs 2453-20Looking at the nose of the new Milwaukee 2553-20 impact driver, you can see how the impact mechanism and chuck are set further back towards the brushless motor. The fact that Milwaukee did this while increasing torque by 100 inch-pounds testifies to the apparent soundness of the design. The 0.9” reduction in length also makes for a much smaller footprint on the new FUEL impact driver. Since Milwaukee re-centered the mass, it still feels quite comfortable in the hand.While the space-savings on the Milwaukee 2553-20 impact driver is significant, Milwaukee didn’t stop there. They also added a 4-mode drive control which offers a bit more flexibility in speed and torque control. In addition to having three speeds, the Milwaukee 2553-20 impact driver also adds a Self-Tapping Screw Mode. In this mode, the tool will drive at full RPM until the impact mechanism is engaged. Then the tool slows down the RPMs to allow for better control as you drive the screw the rest of the way in. It’s designed for fastening metal so you don’t sheer the head off by driving too fast.Milwaukee opted to keep the same raked angle on both their M12 FUEL impact driver and brushless FUEL hammer drill. That means your grip won’t change, and the balance—which we already felt was good—remained excellent. The new M12 tools ship with either one or both Milwaukee RedLithium 2.0 or RedLithium 4.0 XC battery packs.Build QualityThe build quality of these new tools is excellent as far as we can tell. Within the stator on the Milwaukee 2553-20 and new 2504-20 hammer drill, for example, you can find a large 7-point star-driveshaft which moves the gear assembly. All of the PCBAs (printed circuit board assemblies) are securely nestled into the glass-reinforced nylon body. That includes the main board and selector switch assembly. Having experienced more than one assembly line where products like this are made, the wiring assemblies and “trap” locations seemed intelligently-placed to keep them from moving parts. The tool seems like it can take some drops and keep running. The housing cover alone uses seven 16mm T-10 Torx screws.Milwaukee M12 FUEL Impact Driver and Drill Specs ComparedTo give you a quick side-by-side on specs, here are the differences between the new tools:2404-20 2504-20 2453-20 2553-20Torque 350 in-lbs 350 in-lbs 1,200 in-lbs 1,300 in-lbsSpeed (Low) 0-450 0-450 0-1,200 0-1,300Speed (Med) – – – – – – 0-2,400Speed (High) 0-1,700 0-1,700 0-2,650 0-3,300BPM/IPM (Max) 25,500 25,500 3,550 4,000Length 7-3/4 in. 6-9/16 in. 6 in. 5.1 in.Weight (no battery) 2 lbs 8 oz 2 lbs 5.6 oz 1 lb 14 oz 1 lb 12 ozWhat About the Milwaukee 2503-20 M12 FUEL Drill? Interestingly, the Milwaukee 2503-20 drill comes with the exact same specs and size as the 2504-20 hammer drill—just without the hammer function. Since the mode switch integrates into the clutch mechanism, you don’t shave any more length off the tool.Milwaukee M12 FUEL Hammer Drill and Impact Driver PerformancePerformance matters. Carrying around 12V tools as your “everyday carry” only works of those same tools can get the job done. These can. We put both M12 hammer drills into our torque testers and measured the following:Milwaukee 2504-20 Max “hard stop” torque: 27.1 ft-lbs (325.2 in-lbs)Milwaukee 2404-20 Max “hard stop” torque: 26.0 ft-lbs (312.0 in-lbs)While our numbers didn’t perfectly match those of Milwaukee, the fact is—we’ve got a different setup than they do. It’s also in flux as we build a more permanent and robust testing apparatus. Needless to say, both drills are within 4% of each other and within 7% of the manufacturer’s claims. Our next test told us a bit more.

I have been using this kit for a few months now. I mainly bought this for the impact driver and the larger battery that came with the drill.I like that the drill is smaller and fits more easily in my bag with less weight than my 18 and 20 volt drill. It works great for smaller jobs where a few holes are needed. But if you are going to be using it for a sustained a period of time, you will need extra batteries. I mainly keep it in my bag for quick jobs, but I still find myself going for a 18V drill for more taxing jobs.The impact is as good as I expected. There are multiple speeds to use, but I find myself keeping in the higher speed and just modulating the speed/torque with the travel of the trigger. The power is great and breaks fasteners loose with little trouble other than breaking seized bolts.I also love how fast the 12 volt stuff charges. With one tool and an extra battery on the charger, you can get through most jobs. The battery is usually finished charging by the time I expend all of the power from the battery in the tool.

Very good quality

Can’t go wrong with Milwaukee. Good size and power from theses. Will do anything my 18v can.
