Makita stands at the forefront of innovation in brushless motor technology. The 18V LXT® Brushless 2-Piece Combo Kit (model XT291T) offers two brushless solutions ideal for drilling, driving, and fastening jobs. Each tool is powered by an efficient Makita Brushless Motor, electronically controlled to provide a longer run time, greater power and speed, and an extended tool lifespan. The combo kit comes with a 1/2' Hammer Driver - Drill that packs a full 1,250 in.lbs. of Max Torque, suitable for the most demanding applications in wood, metal, and masonry. It also includes a compact and efficient Impact Driver with up to 1,500 in.lbs. of Max Torque. The 18V LXT® Lithium - Ion 5.0Ah batteries are remarkable for their ultra - fast charge times in their category. They also feature an on - board L.E.D. charge level indicator for added convenience. This kit is part of Makita's ever - expanding 18V Lithium - Ion series, the world's largest cordless tool collection powered by 18V Lithium - Ion slide - style batteries. Makita's 18V Lithium - Ion batteries charge quickly, meaning more work time and less time on the charger. To enhance tool performance and battery life, Makita developed Star Protection Computer Controls™. This communication technology allows the Star Protection - equipped tool and battery to exchange real - time data and monitor conditions during use, safeguarding against overloading, over - discharging, and overheating. For more flexibility, the tool can be powered by Makita 18V LXT® and Compact Lithium - Ion batteries with the star symbol indicating Star Protection. The kit includes an 18V LXT® Brushless 1/2' Hammer Driver - Drill (XPH14Z), an 18V LXT® Brushless Impact Driver (XDT13Z), two 18V LXT® Lithium - Ion 5.0Ah Batteries (BL1850B), an 18V LXT® Lithium - Ion Rapid Optimum Charger (DC18RC), and a tool bag. The brushless motor in these tools is electronically controlled to optimize battery energy use, giving up to 50% longer run time per charge. It also eliminates carbon brushes, running cooler and more efficiently for a longer life. The electronically - controlled motor adjusts torque and RPM according to the application's demands. The variable 2 - speed 1/2' Hammer Driver - Drill (0 - 550 & 0 - 2,100 RPM) with a brushless motor delivers 1,250 in.lbs. of Max Torque and weighs only 6.0 lbs. with the battery, suitable for a wide range of tasks. The variable speed Impact Driver (0 - 3,400 RPM & 0 - 3,600 IPM) with a brushless motor delivers 1,500 in.lbs. of Max Torque and weighs just 3.3 lbs. with the battery. The 18V LXT® Lithium - Ion 5.0Ah battery BL1850B has an integrated L.E.D. battery charge level indicator, provides up to 65% more run time per charge compared to BL1830, and reaches a full charge in 45 minutes or less. The Rapid Optimum Charger communicates with the battery's built - in chip during charging to optimize battery life by controlling current, voltage, and temperature. It also has a built - in fan for faster, more efficient charging. The tools feature Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™) for increased dust and water resistance in tough job site conditions. They are equipped with Star Protection Computer Controls™ to prevent overloading, over - discharging, and over - heating. There is a 3 - year limited warranty on the tool, battery, and charger, and it's recommended to use only genuine Makita batteries and chargers.
Using the Makita 18V LXT 2 - Piece Combo Kit is easy. First, make sure the battery is fully charged. You can check the charge level using the L.E.D. indicator on the battery. For the Hammer Driver - Drill, select the appropriate speed based on your task. The lower speed (0 - 550 RPM) is great for tasks that need more torque, like drilling into tough materials. The higher speed (0 - 2,100 RPM) is good for faster drilling or driving screws. When using the Impact Driver, adjust the speed as needed. The 0 - 3,400 RPM and 0 - 3,600 IPM settings give you the power to drive fasteners quickly. Remember to wear safety goggles and other appropriate safety gear when using these tools. As for maintenance, keep the tools clean after each use. Wipe off any dust or debris. The Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™) helps protect the tools from dust and water, but it's still a good idea to avoid using them in extremely wet or dusty conditions. Charge the batteries properly using the Rapid Optimum Charger. Don't overcharge or leave the batteries on the charger for too long. And always use genuine Makita batteries and chargers to ensure the best performance and safety. Also, the tools come with a 3 - year limited warranty, so if you have any issues, contact Makita's customer service.
