Makita XT288T 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless 2-Pc. Combo Kit (5.0Ah)

Having put this kit through its paces for a while now, I can confidently say it’s one of the best investments I’ve made for my workshop. If you are on the fence because of the price, don't be—for the level of build quality and raw performance you get here, this combo is an absolute steal. The Hammer Drill (XPH14Z): This thing is an absolute monster. With 1,250 in-lbs of torque, it sinks large fasteners and drills through dense hardwoods and masonry effortlessly. It has some serious weight and build quality to it, feeling incredibly robust in the hand. The Impact Driver (XDT19Z/XDT16Z): Exceptional precision. The 4-speed power selection and the specialized quick-shift/tightening modes mean you have flawless control, completely eliminating sheared screws or stripped heads when working on delicate or precise assemblies. Batteries & Charging: The included 5.0Ah LXT batteries last forever on a single charge thanks to the efficient brushless motors. Plus, Makita's rapid charger is legendary—getting a massive 5.0Ah battery completely topped off in about 45 minutes keeps downtime to an absolute minimum. You aren't getting cheap, entry-level plastic here; these are premium, high-tier pro tools engineered to last for years under heavy use. Getting both flagship brushless tools, two heavy-duty 5.0Ah batteries, and the fast charger in one package is an incredible high-ROI deal. Highly recommended.

For the longest, I was always a "corded" tool guy. MANY years ago, Makita came out with the 9.6v battery powered drill, more tools were soon to follow in this battery format. It was the late 80's when I bought my first Makita battery tool, but I was still a hard core "corded" user. Many years have passed, and many battery sizes have come and gone. It wasn't until late 2020 when I was working on a project with my buddy, he being a heavy battery tool user, laughed at me for still using the corded stuff. I finally purchased a kit just like this one and put it to work, HARD WORK. The 5AH batteries gave amazing run times, the hammer drill has so much torque that on two occasions it nearly broke my wrist from when a 6" hole saw would catch a nail or stucco wire and do a "torque spin". The poor little impact driver has set 1000's of screws in all lengths from 1.5" coated screws to12" timber screws and still keeps going strong. In July of 2025 the hammer drill clutch finally died an ugly death. Have no fear, there are always special package deals on Makita tools, so I ordered another complete kit. Next month I will order the clutch to fix the old drill, but it will now become a backup for when I have helpers on the job. Oh, and I am still using the same four 5AH batteries that came in the original kit from 2020. BATTERY TIP: let the batteries run all the way down before you charge them, I will run them on my flashlight until it shuts off. Would I recommend this kit to anyone, YES, anyone that wants a tool that will always be there for you.

Solid use it every day

I have a lot of Malika cordless tools, and feel I am forever tied to Malika because of the investment I have in batteries. The good thing about it, is the batteries last a really long time. I have some that are 8 years old and still holding a decent charge. I bought this in part, because I wanted two more batteries but also because my old drill died. The drill is a bit heavier then my old one, but it is also sturdier and hopefully will last longer. I’ve burned through 2 already and seem to be the only tool from Malika that hasn’t lasted. I have 2 impact drivers, so this is my third. They simply keep getting better. This one is faster and more powerful than my last one and I thought that was a big improvement over the first. I use these a lot and am very happy with their design and usability. They’re really nice tools.

Great product, performs well

Excelentes maquinas

Good quality and great price ! Would definitely recommend if you do a little more than basic home improvement. The tools are of good quality, and are built for use. Batteries last from several hours to days depending on what job you’re doing

I have always really enjoyed my Makita gear. When I was a lineman waaaay back in the early nineties the 9065D cordless drill was my got to. I was a drop installer and it was used daily for 8 hours. Dropped from ladders, thrown in the back of the truck, et cetera. That drill lasted until 2015... I got a Dewault, it worked until the battery life was terrible and barely could drive a screw much less punch a hole. 8 years later I pick up these two Makita guys and I am already stoked. They are powerful, charge quickly, easy to use, lighter and a smaller profile. Once again superior. Makita rules. A couple drawbacks: I'm left handed so maybe that's my issue but the meat on my pointer-finger just happens to be in the right spot to press the backward button in to "neutral" while I'm pulling the trigger just a little too often. There should be a pocket/space/something to strap the charger into a spot in the bag. The bag has lots of pockets, but nothing seems to fit in any of them. The batteries by themselves fit in the side pockets. *shrug* it's a sack to carry stuff in, it would be better if it organized the tools that came with it.

Excelente opción para trabajos múltiples. La calidad es impecable y las funciones las hacen mucho más eficientes.

Está bien perro, recomiendo ampliamente. Solo tomene en cuenta el peso, por qué ligero no está!

Buen combo de taladro atornillador ,potente y,eficiente

Exelentes taladros muy buenos y eficientes y los compre a un excelente precio por dos baterias de 5 amp y los dos equipos

El taladro como recomendación usar el aditamento para sostener ta que es difícil de controlar por tanta fuerza que tiene y la pistola de impacto es muy ligera y potente
