Milwaukee Tool sent over an email that they’ve launched a new M18 Fuel cordless power tool combo kit, 3799-22.
Cutting to the chase, this combo kit features the M18 Fuel brushless hammer drill and also the new Gen2 SURGE quiet impact driver!
At first glance the kit looks like the same one that has been on the market for a few years now, but it’s not. They swapped in the SURGE oil impact driver, which operates much quieter than typical impacts.

The kit comes with 2x XC 5Ah batteries, a charger, and carrying case.
Here’s a summary of both tools’ major selling points:
M18 Fuel Hammer Drill (2904) – 6.9″ length, Auto-Stop control mode (anti-kickback), up to 1400 in-lbs max torque, 0-2100 RPM range, Milwaukee’s most powerful cordless hammer drill.
M18 Fuel SURGE Gen2 Oil Impact Driver (2761) – Fluid-Drive hydraulic powertrain for quieter operation and less vibration than standard impact drivers, up to 3X application speed compared to the previous generation, 3200 RPM max speed, 4.33″ length.
Both tools feature brushless motors.
Price: $429

I know many of you asked for this. Hopefully it’s a trend that will continue whenever Milwaukee next updates their M18 Fuel hammer drill.
It looks like users also still have the choice between getting this combo kit, with the Gen 2 SURGE, or the standard hammer drill and impact driver combo kit.

Dewalt should do the same with their own hydraulic impact driver.

Right? I own the Dewalt version of these. If I were to replace, I’m torn by M12 smaller drivers, M18 fuel model Hammerdrill (I have M18 platform and M12) but also Dewalt 20V and Atomics. Once my old-reliable 1/2″ Dewalt hammerdrill gives up the ghost (which has the wonderful Jacobs metal chuck and not rinkydink plastic chuck), going to be a test to replace with ??? based on price or newer batteries or Toolguy deal!

Now need this in m12. I deal hacked to get a M12 hammer drill and surge. Wasn’t much more than the M12 regular drill and impact. Used your deal hacking calculator. Thanks! https://toolguyd.com/free-cordless-power-tool-deals-value-calculator/

Fantastic!!
This is the perfect starter kit.

Question: wonder why they didn’t offer the case as a packout?
Stuart
In my opinion, that would i) drive up the price, ii) result in increased package size (which would drive up the price), iii) require additional logistics since Packout cases and power tools are made in different countries, which would drive up the price.
If you want a Packout tool box, you can buy it separately. Isn’t that better than requiring everyone to pay more?

In some cases a stack of blowmold cases is easier to work with than packout also / no need to disassemble a stack to get to three down.

If I’m not mistaken HD is offering a free tool with this purchase. I saw it today.
Stuart
I haven’t seen that – maybe you saw the standard combo which was tied to a feee tool promo for the holiday season?

That’s the standard M18 Fuel combo kit, with hammer drill and impact driver; that kit doesn’t have the SURGE Gen 2 quiet impact driver.
I posted about that deal many times over the holiday season, e.g.

It’s a great kit, but many users specifically asked for a combo kit that included the SURGE hydraulic impact driver.
Geoff
You’re totally right. My impact driver is so beat up that I didn’t even recognize that the photo was showing the same item, and I just assumed that the driver was the new hydraulic driver.
CA
Correct sorry I had the wrong set. Still a nice deal.

I have the 1st gen of this kit. The Surge impact is great.
Dave
This is new because it’s got the gen2 surge, but they’ve always had this combo available. First it was 2899-22, then 2999-22.
