The Makita XT296SMR 18V LXT 2-Piece Combo Kit is a top - notch set that provides two high - end brushless tools for all your drilling, driving, and fastening needs. This kit comes with two fast - charging 18V LXT batteries: a 2.0Ah Battery (BL1820B) and a 4.0Ah Battery (BL1840B). These batteries are compatible with the entire Makita tool lineup, offering great versatility. The kit includes an 18V LXT Brushless 4 - Speed Impact Driver (XDT14Z). It combines power and speed in a compact design. With a maximum torque of 1,550 in.lbs. and weighing only 2.7 lbs. with a 2.0Ah battery, it has a 3 - speed power selection switch (0 - 1,100 / 0 - 2,100 / 0 - 3,600 RPM & 0 - 1,100 / 0 - 2,600 / 0 - 3,800 IPM). Makita’s exclusive Quick - Shift Mode™ helps you achieve better fastening control by finding the ideal balance of speed and torque for each task. The Tightening Mode (T - mode) reduces rotation and impact speed before driving the screw, preventing screw thread stripping, breakage, and damage to the workpiece. The 18V LXT Brushless Variable 2 - Speed Hammer Driver - Drill (XPH16Z) is powerful and has a long run - time. It can handle various drilling, driving, and fastening jobs in wood, metal, and masonry. It reaches up to 1,800 RPM and has a maximum torque of 970 in.lbs., weighing only 4.9 lbs. with the battery. Both tools are equipped with an efficient Makita - built brushless motor, which offers longer run - time, more power and speed, and a longer tool life. The Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™) enhances dust and water resistance, making the tools suitable for harsh working conditions. They are part of Makita’s extensive 18V LXT System, the world's largest cordless tool system powered by 18V lithium - ion slide - style batteries. Makita 18V LXT Lithium - Ion Batteries charge quickly, so you can spend more time working and less time waiting. The Star Protection Computer Controls™ ensure tool performance and extend battery life. It's a communication technology that allows the tool and battery to exchange data in real - time, protecting against overloading, over - discharging, and overheating. The tool can also be powered by Makita 18V LXT and Compact Lithium - Ion batteries with the star symbol indicating Star Protection. The kit includes a 18V LXT Compact Brushless 1/2' Hammer Driver - Drill (XPH16Z), a 18V LXT Brushless 3 - Speed Impact Driver (XDT14Z), a 18V LXT Lithium - Ion 4.0Ah Battery (BL1840B), a 18V LXT Lithium - Ion Compact 2.0Ah Battery (BL1820B), a 18V LXT Lithium - Ion Charger (DC18WC), and a tool bag.
Using the Makita XT296SMR Combo Kit is easy. First, charge the 2.0Ah or 4.0Ah batteries using the included charger. Make sure to use only genuine Makita batteries and chargers. Once charged, insert the battery into the tool you want to use. For the impact driver, you can select the speed according to your task with the 3 - speed power selection switch. The Quick - Shift Mode will adjust the speed and torque automatically for better results. When using the Tightening Mode, it will help you drive screws without damaging them. For the hammer driver - drill, choose the appropriate speed between the 2 - speed settings based on the material you're working on, like wood, metal, or masonry. Remember, these tools are protected by Extreme Protection Technology, but try to avoid using them in extremely wet or dusty environments as much as possible. After each use, clean the tools with a dry cloth to remove dust and debris. Store the tools and batteries in a cool, dry place. The tools, batteries, and charger come with a 3 - year limited warranty, so keep your receipt in case you need it.
