Makita XT291M 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Cordless Combo Kit for Professionals

Makita stands at the forefront of innovation in brushless motor technology, and its 18V LXT® Brushless 2-Piece Combo Kit (model XT291M) offers a powerful solution for drilling, driving, and fastening. This combo kit features two remarkable tools, both equipped with an efficient Makita BL™ Brushless Motor, which is controlled electronically. This advanced technology enhances run time, boosts power and speed, and extends the lifespan of the tools.

Among the tools included in the kit is a 1/2" Hammer Driver-Drill, which delivers an impressive maximum torque of 1,250 in.lbs. This makes it ideal for tackling the toughest tasks across wood, metal, and masonry applications. In addition, the kit contains a compact yet powerful Impact Driver, capable of generating up to 1,500 in.lbs. of maximum torque. These tools are designed to handle a wide range of challenges, providing exceptional versatility to users.

One of the standout features of the Makita 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion 4.0Ah batteries is their rapid charging capability, considered the fastest in their category. An integrated on-board LED charge level indicator further enhances user convenience, allowing for easy monitoring of battery status. The 18V Lithium-Ion series is part of Makita’s extensive offering, which is recognized as the world’s largest lineup of cordless tools powered by 18V lithium-ion slide-style batteries.

These lithium-ion batteries not only charge quickly but also enable users to spend more time working and less time waiting for a charge. To further enhance tool performance and battery longevity, Makita has developed Star Protection Computer Controls™. This innovative communication technology allows the tools and batteries equipped with Star Protection to exchange data in real-time. By monitoring operational conditions during use, the system guards against issues such as overloading, overheating, and over-discharging.

For additional flexibility, users can power the tools using any Makita 18V LXT® and Compact Lithium-Ion batteries that feature the star symbol, indicating they include Star Protection capabilities. The brushless motor technology employed in these tools is specifically designed to optimize battery usage, allowing for run times that can extend up to 50% longer per charge compared to traditional motors.

Moreover, without the presence of carbon brushes, the brushless motor not only contributes to a cooler operation but also runs more efficiently, ensuring a longer operational life. The electronically-controlled motor aligns torque and RPM with the varying demands of different applications, which translates to greater efficiency in real-world usage.

The variable 2-speed 1/2" Hammer Driver-Drill offers a speed range of 0-550 and 0-2,100 RPM, maximizing its utility for diverse applications. Weighing in at only 6.0 lbs. with the battery, this tool is lightweight and easy to handle, making it suitable for a multitude of drilling, fastening, and hammer drilling tasks.

Lastly, the kit includes a handy 3-stage LED gauge that clearly indicates the battery charge level, ensuring you always know when it’s time to recharge. With the Makita 18V LXT® Brushless 2-Piece Combo Kit, both power and convenience come together to meet your needs efficiently.
