What kind of work do you plan on doing around the house/car? What makes are your vehicles? What's your budget? I'd wait if you can until Father's day to see what kinds of deals you can get.
The M18 drill you linked to is a bare tool, meaning it doesn't come with a battery or charger. You'll want the kit to start off. You should be able to get by with with a M12 series and save a little money. As far as brands, most people are pretty brand loyal and will tell you whatever brand they bought is the best. I personally have Milwaukee and Makita and love them, but if you go with any of the big three (Milwaukee, Makita or Dewalt) you'll be fine. Corded tools are going to give you the most bang for you buck, of course then you have to deal with a cord.
Hammer - you can get by with just about anything. Make sure it feels solid built and feels good when you swing it. Buy a smooth face first. A rubber mallet like orielbean said comes in handy.
Screwdrivers - This is where I'd spend a little money. This set is a pleasure to use https://chadstoolbox.com/wera-05105650001-334-6-rack-s-driver-set/
That ifixit set looks like it's for cell phone/tablet type repairs. I don't know anything about it.
I'd stay away from the XXX piece mechanics tool sets. Buy a set of 6 point (not 12 point) in either metric (if you have Asian model cars) or metric and ASE. Buy your ratchets and wrenches separately. GearWrench (Advance Auto), Husky (Home Depot), and Kobalt (Lowes) are all good brands for a home user. Some times you can find 40% off coupons online for Advance and save a good bit of money. Start by buying a 3/8 set and then go to a 1/2 and finally a 1/4 set if you feel like you need them.
Personally I don't use chrome sockets anymore and just went to all impacts which is what you need if you are going to use something like this: https://www.milwaukeetool.com/power-tools/cordless/2763-22. The drawbacks are the are a little bit bigger around and wear quicker than chrome but I've haven't had any problems out of them. The set I have is https://www.amazon.com/Sunex-3351-8-Inch-Metric-51-Piece/dp/B00JO1BO1K/ref=sr_1_7?s=power-hand-tools&ie=UTF8&qid=1492823562&sr=1-7&keywords=sunex. You can find smaller kits for less.
Get some safety glass and gloves and use them!
