Choosing a power tool often starts with a simple question: do you need the whole kit, or just the driver? If you already own Milwaukee M18 batteries and a charger, a tool-only impact driver can be the more direct route. The Milwaukee 3650-20 M18 Brushless Impact Driver arrives as a bare tool, so the real question is whether that trade-off fits how you work.
Quick verdict
This tool-only 18V impact driver with a brushless motor is listed at USD 54.99. Choose it if you have M18 batteries and a charger already; plan for an extra purchase if you don't.
Who it suits
- Anyone who already owns Milwaukee M18 batteries and wants an impact driver.
- DIYers who need a driver for fastening jobs and don't want to buy a battery-and-charger kit they don't need.
- Tradespeople who keep spare M18 batteries in rotation and prefer buying bare tools.
What stands out
- Brushless motor paired with 18V M18 power.
- 1/4-inch hex chuck for standard impact-ready bits.
- Tool-only format: batteries and charger sold separately.
- No original box, with minor imperfections that are barely noticeable and do not affect performance.
Meaningful trade-offs
- You can't use it until you have a battery and charger on hand.
- The missing original box and minor cosmetic imperfections matter if you prefer a fully retail-packaged unit.
- The total cost depends on which M18 batteries you already own, so your final spend will vary.
Product note
Milwaukee 3650-20 M18 Impact Driver (Tool Only)
At USD 54.99, this bare Milwaukee impact driver adds impact-driving capability to an M18 setup without adding another battery and charger. Go with it if you already own the power source. The limitation is that it's a tool-only package, so you'll need a separate battery and charger for your first job.
Bottom line
If the M18 battery and charger are already in your toolbox, the Milwaukee 3650-20 is a practical way to get an impact driver without extra batteries. If you're starting from scratch, add the cost of batteries and charger to your budget before you commit.
