Makita XT288T 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless Drill & Driver Combo Kit (5.0Ah)

The 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless 2-Piece Combo Kit (XT288T) delivers two premium brushless tools for drilling, driving, and fastening. The Kit includes two fast-charging 18V LXT 5.0Ah batteries, which are compatible with the full range of Makita LXT tools and products.

The Kit includes the 18V LXT Brushless 4-Speed Impact Driver (XDT19), offering 4-speed power selections (max. 3,800 RPM), which provides precise fastening control for a wide range of applications. The Impact Driver features Assist Mode (A-mode) which helps eliminate "screw cam-out" and "cross threading" by driving at low speed until tightening begins. It also features two Tightening Modes (T-mode) for faster tightening of self-drilling screws in thick or thin gauge metal that helps prevent damage to the screw or workpiece.

The XDT19 delivers industry-leading performance in a compact and ergonomic design. Added features include the one-touch 4-speed power selector button under the chuck, which enables one-handed speed changes, and reverse rotation auto-stop mode which stops rotation and impact when the fastener is loosened adequately to help prevent over-loosening and dropped fasteners.

Also included is the 18V LXT Brushless Variable 2-Speed Hammer Driver-Drill (XPH14), which combines power and run-time for more drilling, driving, and fastening tasks in wood, metal, and masonry. It delivers up to 2,100 RPM and a full 1,250 in.lbs. of max. torque and weighs only 6 lbs. with battery. The XPH14 has a more compact and ergonomic design, up to 14% shorter than the previous model. It's powered by a Makita brushless motor for longer run time, increased power and speed, and longer tool life.

With a 2-speed transmission (0-550 & 0-2,100 RPM), the XPH14 can tackle a wide range of drilling, fastening and hammer drilling applications. Other features include an all-metal 1/2” self-ratcheting chuck for improved bit-gripping strength, LED lights, and a rubberized soft grip for increased comfort.

The kit is part of Makita’s expanding 18V LXT® System, the world’s largest cordless tool system powered by 18V lithium-ion slide-style batteries. Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger. Both tools feature an efficient Makita-built brushless motor for longer run time, increased power and speed, and longer tool life. Extreme Protection Technology (XPT) provides improved dust and water resistance for operation in harsh conditions.

For improved tool performance and extended battery life, Makita created Star Protection Computer Controls. Star Protection is a communication technology that allows the Star Protection-equipped tool and battery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging, and overheating.
