Sourced tester consensus for each — the "what people who used it think" layer, not just specs.

Milwaukee M18 FUEL 2904-22 1/2 in. Hammer Drill/Driver Kit

Two hands-on Pro Tool Reviews articles cover this exact Gen-4 Milwaukee 2904. Both praise its compact size, light bare weight, strong performance, and the value of its two-battery kit. A 2022 solo review crowned the 2904 Pro Tool Reviews' #1 best cordless drill overall; a February 2026 head-to-head found DeWalt's DCD1007 slightly faster and more feature-rich, noting the 2904 has slipped in the rankings since launch. (2 sourced reviews, 2 lab-tested.)

Praised: Compact 6.9 in length and light 3.3-lb bare weight; Strong low-speed torque and fast, Pro-grade drilling performance; Two-battery kit offers strong value.

Flagged: Slightly slower than DeWalt DCD1007 in head-to-head drilling and concrete tests; Feature-light: only 2 speeds and no smart features unless the pricier 2906 One-Key; High-capacity batteries can upset the drill's balance.
