Product Overview
I recently had the opportunity to test out the Makita XT288T 18V LXT Lithium Ion Brushless Cordless 2 Pc. Combo Kit 5.0Ah . This highly rated combo kit includes a Hammer Driver Drill and an Impact Driver, as well as a charger and two 5.0Ah batteries. I am always on the lookout for quality tools that are durable and reliable, so I was excited to try this kit out.
The Hammer Driver Drill features a Makita built BL Brushless Motor that provides up to 1,250 in.lbs. of torque with a variable two speed control system 0 550 0 2,100 RPM . It also has an ergonomic design with an overmolded rubber grip for added comfort while using it. The Impact Driver has a 4 speed power selection feature 0 1,100 / 0 2,100 / 0 3,200 / 0 3,600 RPM 0 1,100 / 0 2,600 / 0 3,600 / 0 3,800 IPM that provides up to 1,600 in.lbs. of torque. It also has an LED light for illuminating dark work areas and its battery life is quite impressive.

The BL Brushless Motor used in both tools is electronically controlled to optimize battery energy use for up to 50 longer run time per charge than other cordless tools on the market. Both tools also feature Makita s Extreme Protection Technology XPT which is designed to improve dust and water resistance when working in harsh conditions or extreme environments.
Overall I was very impressed with this combo kit from Makita its well engineered and packed full of features that make it ideal for professionals or serious hobbyists alike who need reliable power tools that can handle tough jobs without sacrificing quality or performance. This 2pc combo kit is perfect for anyone who needs the flexibility of having both a Hammer Driver Drill and an Impact Driver at their disposal without breaking the bank its a great value for money buy!
