The 18V LXT Brushless 2-Piece Combo Kit (XT296ST) delivers two premium brushless tools for drilling, driving, and fastening. The Kit includes two 18V LXT 5.0Ah batteries, which are compatible with the full range of Makita tools and products. The kit includes an 18V LXT Brushless 4-Speed Impact Driver (XDT14Z), that combines power and speed in a compact size. The XDT14 delivers 1,550 in.lbs. of Max Torque and weighs only 3.3 lbs. with a 5.0Ah battery, with a 3-speed power selection switch (0-1,100 / 0-2,100 / 0-3,600 RPM & 0-1,100 / 0-2,600 / 0-3,800 IPM) and Makita's exclusive Quick-Shift Mode for increased fastening control. Quick-Shift Mode uses the brushless motor's electronic controls to find the best balance of speed and torque for each application for more efficient fastening. Another precision setting is Tightening Mode (T-mode), which downshifts and reduces rotation and impact speed prior to driving the screw into place, and is engineered to minimize screw thread stripping, screw breakage, and damage to work. The 18V LXT Brushless Variable 2-Speed Hammer Driver-Drill (XPH16Z) combines power and run-time for more drilling, driving, and fastening tasks in wood, metal, and masonry. It delivers up to 1,800 RPM and a full 970 in.lbs. of Max Torque for up to and weighs only 4.9 lbs. with a 5.0Ah battery. 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. Both tools are part of Makita's expanding 18V LXT System, the world's largest cordless tool system powered by 18V lithium-ion slide-style batteries.

• Efficient Makita-built brushless motor is electronically controlled to optimize battery energy use for up to 50% longer run time per charge
• Variable 2-speed 1/2" Hammer Driver-Drill (0-550 & 0-1,800 RPM)(0-8,250 & 0-27,000 BPM) with brushless motor delivers 970 in.lbs. of Max Torque for up to 70% more power*; weighs only 4.9 lbs. with battery for a wide range of drilling, fastening and hammer drilling applications
