Product Description
The Makita 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Brushless 2-Piece Combo Kit (XT288T) offers two high - efficiency brushless tools for various drilling, driving, and fastening jobs. It comes with the category's fastest - charging 5.0Ah batteries and is part of the extensive 18V LXT System, which means these batteries can power a wide range of Makita tools and accessories. The 18V LXT Brushless 4 - Speed Impact Driver (XDT16) is a game - changer. It provides four speeds and Makita's exclusive Quick - Shift Mode™ for better fastening control. This mode uses the brushless motor's electronic controls to find the ideal balance of speed and torque for each task, ensuring more efficient fastening. There's also the Tightening Mode (T - mode), which reduces rotation and impact speed before driving the screw, minimizing screw damage. The XDT16 is both compact and ergonomic, delivering industry - leading performance. The 18V LXT Brushless Variable 2 - Speed Hammer Driver - Drill (XPH14) combines power and long run - time for drilling, driving, and fastening in wood, metal, and masonry. It has a speed range of (0 - 550 & 0 - 2,100 RPM) and a peak torque of 1,250 in.lbs. Both tools are equipped with an efficient Makita - built BL™ Brushless Motor for longer run - time, more power, and a longer lifespan. Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™) enhances dust and water resistance, making them suitable for harsh working conditions. Makita's 18V LXT® batteries have the fastest charge times in their class, so they're ready to work more and spend less time on the charger. Star Protection Computer Controls™ is a communication technology that allows the tool and battery to exchange real - time data, protecting against overloading, over - discharging, and overheating. The kit includes a 18V LXT® Brushless 1/2' Hammer Driver - Drill (XPH14Z), a 18V LXT® Brushless 4 - Speed Impact Driver (XDT19Z), a 18V LXT® Lithium - Ion Rapid Optimum Charger (DC18RC), two 18V LXT® Lithium - Ion 5.0Ah Batteries (BL1850B), and a tool bag. The Variable 2 - speed Hammer Driver - Drill has a brushless motor, delivers (0 - 550 & 0 - 2,100 RPM) and 1,250 in.lbs. of Max Torque, and weighs only 6.0 lbs. with the battery. The Impact Driver features 4 - speed power selection, provides 1,600 in.lbs. of Max Torque, and weighs only 3.4 lbs. with the battery. The Makita - built Brushless Motor is electronically controlled to optimize battery energy use, giving up to 50% longer run - time per charge. The charger communicates with the battery's chip during charging, actively controlling current, voltage, and temperature to optimize battery life and has a built - in fan for faster charging. The 18V LXT® Lithium - Ion 5.0Ah battery BL1850B has an integrated L.E.D. charge level indicator and reaches a full charge in 45 minutes or less. It's compatible with Makita 18V Lithium - Ion batteries with a Star symbol and comes with a 3 - year limited warranty on the tool, battery, and charger. Always use genuine Makita batteries and chargers.
Using the Makita XT288T Combo Kit is easy. First, charge the 18V LXT® Lithium - Ion 5.0Ah batteries using the Rapid Optimum Charger. It usually takes about 45 minutes or less. You'll know the battery is fully charged when the indicator shows. When using the tools, select the appropriate speed for your task. For the Impact Driver, you can choose from four speeds, and the Quick - Shift Mode™ will automatically adjust the speed and torque for better results. The Tightening Mode (T - mode) is great when you're driving screws to avoid damaging them. The Hammer Driver - Drill has two speeds, so pick the one that suits your drilling or driving needs in wood, metal, or masonry. Make sure to handle the tools with care, especially in harsh conditions. Thanks to the Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™), they can resist dust and water, but it's still a good idea to keep them as clean as possible. After use, clean the tools with a dry cloth. Store the batteries in a cool, dry place. Always use genuine Makita batteries and chargers to keep the tools and batteries in good shape. And remember, the tool, battery, and charger come with a 3 - year limited warranty, so if you have any problems, you can get support.
