This impressive kit features the fastest charging 3.0Ah batteries in its category, along with the extensive range of the Makita 18V LXT® system. This means that the batteries provided will power an ever-expanding lineup of tools and accessories from Makita.

Included in the XT281S kit is a variable speed ½” driver-drill that boasts two distinct speed settings and an innovative Brushless motor, capable of delivering a maximum torque of 440 in.Lbs. To further enhance its fastening capabilities, the kit also contains a variable speed impact driver, offering an impressive 1,500 inch-pounds of maximum torque. What sets the 18V LXT® 3.0Ah batteries apart is their quick charging time, achieving full charge in just 30 minutes.

This kit is part of Makita’s extensive 18V Lithium-Ion system, recognized as the largest cordless tool system powered by 18V Lithium-Ion slide-style batteries. The fast charging times of Makita 18V Lithium-Ion batteries ensure that tools spend more time in action and less time plugged into a charger. To optimize tool performance and extend battery life, Makita introduces Star Protection Computer Controls™. This advanced technology facilitates real-time communication between tools and batteries equipped with Star Protection, allowing for continuous monitoring of operational conditions to guard against issues such as overloading, overheating, and over-discharging.

The efficient BL Brushless motor is electronically managed to maximize battery energy usage, resulting in up to 50% longer run time per charge. By eliminating carbon brushes, the BL Brushless motor not only runs cooler but also operates more efficiently, leading to an extended lifespan of the tool. Additionally, this electronically-controlled motor smartly adjusts torque and RPM to accommodate the varying demands of different applications.

The variable speed ½" driver-drill features settings of 0-500 and 0-1,900 RPM, enabling it to deliver a maximum torque of 440 in.Lbs., all while maintaining a lightweight design at only 3.6 lbs. with battery included. Complementing this is the variable speed impact driver, which can achieve speeds of 0-3,400 RPM and 0-3,600 IPM, providing a robust 1,500 in.Lbs. of maximum torque, yet it weighs just 3.3 lbs. with the battery.

In summary, the Makita 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Brushless 2-piece Combo kit (model XT281S) is designed for efficiency and performance, integrating rapid charging capabilities, advanced protection features, and innovative motor technology that ensures tools operate at their best. Whether for professional use or DIY projects, this kit meets a wide array of drilling and fastening needs while providing the longevity and durability expected from Makita.
