The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less.

Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The Milwaukee 2598-22-2457-20 is a hybrid bundle combining M12 and M18 platform tools, which explains the compound model number. At $304.99, buyers get coverage across both voltage tiers without buying each tool separately. The 3300 RPM spec reflects the M18 component's higher-speed capability compared to the 1700 RPM M12 tools.
At 2.8 pounds, the listed weight is remarkably light, suggesting the weight covers the core cordless tools without heavy battery sets included in the measurement. The battery-powered operation spans the M12 and M18 ecosystems, which is a unique selling point for Milwaukee users who already own batteries from either or both platforms.
The 59-review count is small, but 100 monthly purchases indicate consistent buyer activity. The 4.6-star average from those early reviewers is a positive early signal. Buyers familiar with Milwaukee's M12 or M18 platforms independently will recognize the value proposition of a cross-platform bundle at this price.
Pros
- Combines M12 and M18 platform tools in one bundle, covering two voltage tiers
- 3300 RPM from the M18 component supports faster cutting or drilling tasks
- 2.8-pound listed weight reflects a compact, manageable tool configuration
- 100 monthly purchases alongside a 4.6-star average signals positive early market validation
Cons
- Only 59 reviews limits confidence in the rating compared to kits with hundreds or thousands
- Cross-platform bundles require compatible batteries for both M12 and M18 if not already owned
- $304.99 is reasonable but not the entry-level option for buyers new to the Milwaukee ecosystem

Performance notes
Battery-powered across two voltage platforms, with 3300 RPM for the M18 component. The 2.8-pound weight reflects the tool-only configuration of the core cordless tools. M12 and M18 batteries are not cross-compatible with each other, so buyers who do not already own both platforms will need to account for battery costs separately.
What buyers say
Early owners respond positively, with the cross-platform flexibility and Milwaukee build quality cited most often. Given the 59-review size, sentiment patterns are limited, but the 4.6 stars and 100 monthly sales provide encouraging early signals. No significant quality concerns appear in the available feedback.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need both M12 and M18 batteries to use this bundle?
Yes. The Milwaukee 2598-22-2457-20 includes tools from both the M12 and M18 platforms, and each platform requires its own battery. Buyers who already own M12 batteries and want to add an M18 tool will find this bundle a cost-effective way to expand.
Is 59 reviews enough to trust the 4.6-star rating?
It is a smaller sample than most kits in this batch, but 100 monthly purchases provide an additional demand signal. The rating should be treated as a positive early indicator rather than a fully statistically settled score.
