Product Description
Makita stands at the forefront of innovation in brushless motor technology. The 18V LXT brushless two-piece combo kit (model XT268T) offers two high - performance brushless solutions for all your drilling, driving, and fastening needs. Each tool is powered by an efficient Makita BL brushless motor, electronically controlled to ensure longer run - time, more power and speed, and an extended tool lifespan. The combo kit includes a hammer driver - drill with an impressive 1,090 in. lbs. of maximum torque, perfect for the toughest jobs in wood, metal, and masonry. It also comes with a compact and efficient impact driver that packs a full 1,550 in. lbs. of fastening torque along with industry - leading precision features. The quick - shift mode is an automatic electronic controller that reduces rotation and impact speed before driving the screw, minimizing screw thread stripping, breakage, and damage to the workpiece. The tightening mode (T - mode) is designed for faster tightening of self - drilling screws while preventing damage to the screw or the work surface. Combined with three - speed power settings, this impact driver gives you greater control over a wide range of fastening tasks, from cabinet and deck screws to lag bolts. The 18V LXT lithium - ion 5.0 Ah batteries have the fastest charge times in their class and feature an on - board LED charge level indicator for added convenience. Key features of the Makita XT268T include a variable two - speed 1/2 in. hammer driver - drill with a BL™ motor, delivering 1090 in. lbs. of max torque and weighing only 5.9 lbs. with the battery. The three - speed impact driver offers 1,550 in. lbs. of max torque and weighs just 3.3 lbs. with the battery. The efficient BL brushless motor optimizes battery energy use, providing up to 50% longer run - time per charge. It also eliminates carbon brushes, running cooler and more efficiently for a longer lifespan. The electronically - controlled motor adjusts torque and RPM according to the job requirements. With Extreme Protection Technology (XPT), the tools are more resistant to dust and water in tough job site conditions. The 18V LXT lithium - ion 5.0 Ah battery BL1850B provides up to 65% more run - time per charge compared to BL1830, reaches a full charge in 45 minutes or less, and has an integrated LED battery charge level indicator. The rapid optimum charger communicates with the battery's built - in chip to optimize battery life, has a built - in fan for faster charging, and is equipped with STAR Protection computer controls to prevent overloading, over - discharging, and over - heating. The tool, battery, and charger come with a 3 - year limited warranty. Remember to use only genuine Makita batteries and chargers.
Using the Makita XT268T Combo Kit is easy. First, make sure your 18V LXT lithium - ion 5.0 Ah battery is fully charged. You can check the charge level using the LED indicator on the battery. For the hammer driver - drill, select the appropriate speed setting (0 - 550 or 0 - 2,100 RPM) based on your task. When drilling into wood, metal, or masonry, apply steady pressure. The high torque of 1090 in. lbs. will help you get through tough materials. For the impact driver, use the three - speed settings (0 - 1,100/0 - 2,100/0 to 3,600 RPM & 0 - 1,100/0 - 2,600/0 - 3,800 IPM) according to the type of screw and the job. The quick - shift mode is great for preventing screw damage, so leave it on when driving screws. The tightening mode (T - mode) is ideal for self - drilling screws. Just turn it on for faster and safer tightening. When it comes to maintenance, keep the tools clean. After use, wipe them down to remove dust and debris. Since the tools have Extreme Protection Technology (XPT), they can handle some dust and water, but try to avoid excessive exposure. The charger has a built - in fan, so make sure the ventilation area is clear for efficient charging. Always store the tools and batteries in a cool, dry place. And don't forget, use only genuine Makita batteries and chargers to keep your kit in top condition. The tool, battery, and charger have a 3 - year limited warranty, so if you run into any problems, you're covered.
