Makita is the innovation leader in brushless motor technology, and the 18-Volt LXT Brushless 2-Piece Combo Kit (model XT268T) gives you 2 brushless solutions with more performance features for drilling, driving and fastening. Each tool features an efficient Makita BL Brushless Motor that is electronically controlled for longer run time, increased power and speed, and longer tool life. The combo kit includes a Hammer Driver-Drill with a full 1,090 in./lbs. of Maximum Torque for the most demanding applications in wood, metal and masonry. The kit also includes an efficient and compact Impact Driver that combines a full 1,550 in./lbs. of fastening torque with category-leading precision features. Quick-Shift Mode is an automatic electronic controller that downshifts and reduces rotation and impact speed prior to driving the screw into place, and is engineered to minimize screw thread stripping, breakage and damage to work. For faster tightening of self-drilling screws, the Tightening Mode (T-mode) is engineered to prevent damage to the screw or work piece. Its part of Makita expanding 18-Volt Lithium-Ion series, the worlds largest cordless tool line-up powered by 18-Volt Lithium-Ion slide-style batteries. Makita 18-Volt Lithium-Ion batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger. For improved tool performance and extended battery life, Makita created Star Protection Computer Controls.

Solid construction along with great ergonomic feel. Excellent warranty as well.
Leanna Hoppe (verified owner) –
Very powerful for a hammer drill. Love the torque for drilling masonry. 5 amp batteries last all day screwing in metal roofs.
Colt Leuschke (verified owner) –
I really like this drill kit. I have had the Makita tool set for 8 years and like the ergonomics of their tools and the durability.
Lorenz Leuschke (verified owner) –
Everything works well and is very nice. I wish I was able to snag the same package with the extra 5Ah battery.
Eddie Robel (verified owner) –
This was a great deal! With 3 batteries rated at 5Ah these tools last forever. They seem to have plenty of power and the included bag helps keep everything organized. I would definitely recommend this product to a friend.
Gennaro Berge (verified owner) –
Great tools, great power upgrade.
Effie Rippin (verified owner) –
The best 18 volt set in my collection, Very powerful and heavy duty.
Donna Greenholt (verified owner) –
As a service company, we use our tools everyday and can be pretty hard on them. The Makita holds up really well under the constant use. They do wear out over time, but that is somewhat expected. This is the only brand we buy.
Bernice Beatty (verified owner) –
Great tools at a great price.
Raul Kertzmann (verified owner) –
Love some makitas
Era Wintheiser (verified owner) –
tools are great but it doesn’t come with the bit holder and the bag is kinda small
Britney Thompson (verified owner) –
It is a great tool and I liked the deal I got it for. Thank you.
Aracely Pagac (verified owner) –
Awesome drill n very powerful
Billie Beier (verified owner) –
Outdoes every other hammer drill for torque and durability that I’ve ever had.Quality made!
Buddy Adams (verified owner) –
Was a good set of drills but they are a bit on the heavy side for long projects a more light drill will probably be more accommodating.
Rebeca Daniel (verified owner) –
Melissa (ext 53398) did an incredible job at making right the failure of HD. She literally saved me as a customer
Chaim Raynor (verified owner) –
Makita fan, not thrilled my old tools didn’t work with new batteries, but these new brushless versions are an improvement, and like being able to see state of charge.
Maegan Schiller (verified owner) –
Excellent combo. Both are ergonomic and high quality.
Gussie Prohaska (verified owner) –
Nice

My 15 year old Hitachi 3.0 AH retired recently so a replacement was required; I was skeptical. However, “the big Makita” looked most promising and the promo price–including an impact driver, two 5.0 AH batteries, charger, case, and handle was less than the advertised price on line. And the sealed boxed combo sat there on the shelf all alone. I felt sorry… So my conscience forced me to buy ( but my wife didn’t buy that…) And during its (both) first employment we both were most pleasantly surprised. The “bonus” driver was a new tool for us; turns out it was like adding another person on the job and so easy to use.
