The Milwaukee 2691-22 M18 Cordless LITHIUM-ION 2-Tool Combo Kit is a cordless drill and impact driver kit built for drilling holes, driving screws, and handling everyday fastening work on the jobsite or around the house. This is a 2-tool combo kit designed for drilling and fastening. Model Number: 2691-22. If you want a practical way into the Milwaukee M18 platform with the two tools most people actually use first, this kit makes sense.

At the center of the kit are two core tools: the M18 1/2 inch drill/driver and the M18 1/4 inch hex impact driver. The drill/driver delivers up to 500 in-lbs of torque with a 2-speed range of 0-400 and 0-1,800 RPM, which gives you low-speed control for driving and higher speed for drilling. The impact driver steps in when you need more fastening speed, with up to 2,750 RPM, 3,450 impacts per minute, and 1,500 in-lbs of fastening torque. In plain terms, the drill handles general drilling and lighter driving, while the impact driver is the better choice for long screws, lag work, and repetitive fastening.

Milwaukee built both tools around its 4-pole frameless motor design. That matters because this style is meant to deliver solid power in a compact format while holding up to repeated use. The drill also gets an all-metal gear case and chuck for better durability when the tool takes knocks in the truck, on the bench, or on the floor. These are the kinds of details that matter more after a few months of use than they do on day one.

Jobsite practicality is where this kit earns its keep. Both tools are compact enough to work in tighter spaces, and each includes an LED light to help when you're working inside cabinets, mechanical rooms, basements, or any dim corner where overhead lighting is not helping you. The impact driver uses a quick-connect 1/4 inch hex chuck, which speeds up bit changes and keeps repetitive fastening moving. The included belt clip is also a small thing that becomes a big thing once you're climbing ladders or moving from task to task.

The battery side of the kit is just as important as the tools. You get (2) M18 compact REDLITHIUM 1.5Ah batteries and an M18/M12 multi-voltage charger. The packs include a fuel gauge so you can check remaining runtime instead of guessing, and Milwaukee calls out all-weather performance for harsh jobsite conditions. The charger can handle both M18 and M12 battery packs, which is useful if you already own Milwaukee cordless tools in either platform or plan to add more later.

From a system standpoint, this kit is a strong starting point for the Milwaukee M18 platform. The drill uses a 1/2 inch chuck for common drilling and driving accessories, while the impact driver accepts standard 1/4 inch hex insert bits and accessories made for impact drivers. That gives you wide accessory availability and keeps replacement bits easy to find. More importantly, the batteries you buy into here can carry over to a much larger M18 cordless lineup later.

Who is this kit for? General contractors, remodelers, maintenance techs, electricians, plumbers, punch-list crews, and serious DIY users will get the most out of it. It is also a smart choice for someone replacing older cordless tools and wanting a straightforward drill and impact driver combo without stepping into a much larger premium kit. If your work is mostly drilling pilot holes, assembling hardware, installing fixtures, driving structural screws, and handling day-to-day fastening, this setup covers a lot of ground without overcomplicating things.
