Overview
Running on Milwaukee's 18 volt cordless platform, the 2697-22CT draws 3 amps and reaches up to 1,700 RPM. It weighs 1.5 kilograms, light enough for extended one handed use.
Milwaukee places this model in its specialty tools line rather than a standard drill or driver category, so the exact task it is built for is not spelled out beyond the 18 volt battery platform, 1,700 RPM top speed and 1.5 kilogram body weight. That weight class points toward a tool meant to be held through a work session rather than mounted or used briefly.
- 18 volt cordless power
- Up to 1,700 RPM

Who it's for
Owners already invested in Milwaukee's M18 battery system get a straightforward add on here. Anyone needing corded, continuous duty power should look elsewhere.

Performance notes
