The Makita XT296ST 18V LXT Brushless 2-Piece Combo Kit is a powerhouse for your drilling, driving, and fastening needs. It comes with two high - end brushless tools, backed by two fast - charging 18V LXT 5.0Ah batteries that work with the full range of Makita products. The 18V LXT Brushless 4 - Speed Impact Driver (XDT14Z) packs a punch in a small size. It offers 1,550 in.lbs. of Max Torque and weighs just 3.3 lbs. with a 5.0Ah battery.

Quick - Shift Mode finds the perfect balance of speed and torque for each job, while Tightening Mode (T - mode) helps prevent screw damage. The 18V LXT Brushless Variable 2 - Speed Hammer Driver - Drill (XPH16Z) combines power and long run - time for various tasks in wood, metal, and masonry. It can reach up to 1,800 RPM and 970 in.lbs. of Max Torque, weighing only 4.9 lbs. with a 5.0Ah battery. Both tools have an efficient Makita - built brushless motor for longer use, more power, and a longer lifespan. Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™) makes them resistant to dust and water, suitable for tough conditions. They are part of Makita’s 18V LXT System, the world's largest cordless tool system. Makita 18V LXT Lithium - Ion Batteries charge fast, so you can work more and wait less. Star Protection Computer Controls™ protect the tool and battery from overloading, over - discharging, and overheating. The kit includes one 18V LXT Compact Brushless 1/2' Hammer Driver - Drill (XPH16Z), one 18V LXT Brushless 3 - Speed Impact Driver (XDT14Z), two 18V LXT Lithium - Ion 5.0Ah Batteries (BL1850B), one 18V LXT Lithium - Ion Charger (DC18WC), and a tool bag.
Using the Makita XT296ST Combo Kit is easy. First, make sure the battery is fully charged. To use the impact driver, select the appropriate speed using the 3 - speed power selection switch. For normal tasks, the middle speed might work well, but for tougher jobs, you can switch to the high - speed setting. The Quick - Shift Mode will automatically adjust the speed and torque for efficient fastening. When using the Tightening Mode, it'll help you drive screws without stripping or breaking them. For the hammer driver - drill, choose between the two speeds according to the material you're working on. Low speed is great for tougher materials like masonry, while high speed is good for softer materials like wood. Remember to only use genuine Makita batteries and chargers to ensure the best performance and safety. Keep the tools clean and dry, especially after using them in dusty or wet conditions. After each use, check for any signs of damage. If you notice any issues, stop using the tool immediately. The batteries should be stored in a cool, dry place. The tools, battery, and charger come with a 3 - year limited warranty, so if you have any problems within this period, you can contact Makita for support.
