What comes in the kit
Milwaukee lists the 3697-22 with an M18 FUEL ½-inch hammer drill/driver, an M18 FUEL ¼-inch hex impact driver, two M18 REDLITHIUM XC5.0 battery packs, an M18/M12 charger, side handle, belt clips, bit holder, and carrying case.
That package covers common drilling and fastening work without requiring a new buyer to select batteries and a charger separately.
Who should consider it
- New M18 users who want a complete starting setup rather than bare tools.
- Homeowners and remodelers who regularly drill, drive structural fasteners, or work with masonry.
- Tradespeople who need a capable drill and impact driver on the same battery platform.
- Buyers replacing older cordless tools who can use both tools in the package.
Who may be better off buying separately
If you already own several compatible M18 batteries and a charger, bare tools may avoid paying for duplicate equipment. Buyers who only handle light household assembly may also find a smaller platform easier to carry and control.
Before ordering
Confirm that the offer is model 3697-22 and check every included item against the listing. Verify the seller, warranty eligibility, return terms, battery quantity, battery capacity, charger, and carrying case before comparing offers. Drill bits and driver bits may need to be purchased separately.
