Overview
The Milwaukee 2997-22 holds the top rating in this product group with 4.8 stars across 2,300 owner reviews. That volume of feedback at that rating level is a strong endorsement. At $429.00 and 2000 RPM, it competes as a premium cordless combo offering from Milwaukee.
The listed weight of 14.9 pounds and dimensions of 20L x 6W x 14H inches indicate this is a combo kit, likely including the drill, an additional tool, batteries, charger, and a carrying case. The battery platform is listed as battery-powered but voltage is not specified in the available data. Buyers should confirm the included voltage and battery configuration before purchasing.
For buyers already in the Milwaukee M18 ecosystem, the 2997-22 combines strong drill performance with one of the highest owner satisfaction scores available. The $429.00 price reflects the full kit value rather than a tool-only purchase.
