</p><p>The 18V LXT&reg; Brushless 2-Piece Combo Kit (XT296ST) delivers two premium brushless tools for drilling, driving, and fastening. The Kit includes two 18V LXT&reg; 5.0Ah batteries, which are compatible with the full range of Makita tools and products. The kit includes an 18V LXT&reg; Brushless 4-Speed <a class="crosslink" href="https://www.toolnut.com/power-tools/drills-drivers/impact-drivers.html" target="_self" title="">Impact Driver</a> (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&rsquo;s exclusive Quick-Shift Mode&trade; for increased fastening control. Quick-Shift Mode uses the brushless motor&rsquo;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&reg; 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&trade;) provides improved dust and water resistance for operation in harsh conditions. Both tools are part of Makita&rsquo;s expanding 18V LXT&reg; System, the world&rsquo;s largest <a class="crosslink" href="https://www.toolnut.com/power-tools/cordless-tools.html" target="_self" title="">cordless tool</a> system powered by 18V lithium-ion slide-style batteries. For improved tool performance and extended battery life, Makita created Star Protection Computer Controls&trade;. 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. For increased versatility, the tool can also be powered by Makita 18V LXT&reg; and Compact Lithium-Ion batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating Star Protection inside.</p><ul><li><a class="crosslink" href="https://www.toolnut.com/power-tools/drills-drivers/hammer-drills.html" target="_self" title="">HAMMER DRILL</a> - Variable 2-speed 1/2" Hammer Driver-Drill (0-550& 0-1,800 RPM); 970 in.lbs. of Max Torque</li><li>IMPACT DRIVER - 3-speed (0-1100/0-2100/0-3600 RPM & 0-1100/0-2600/0-3800 IPM) provides 1,550 in. lbs. of Max Torque</li><li>DURABILITY - Hammer Driver-Drill and Impact Driver feature XPT&trade;, providing increased dust and water resistance</li><li>EFFICIENCY - Makita-built brushless motor optimizes battery energy use for up to 50% longer run time per charge</li><li>INCLUDES - XPH16Z, XDT14Z, (2) 18V LXT&reg; Lithium-Ion batteries, charger and tool bag</li><li>Efficient Makita-built brushless motor is electronically controlled to optimize battery energy use for up to 50% longer run time per charge</li><li>Variable 2-speed 1/2" Hammer Driver-Drill (0-550 & 0-1,800 RPM)(0-8,250 & 0-27,000 BPM) delivers 970 in.lbs. of Max Torque for up to 70% more power*</li><li>The brushless motor eliminates carbon brushes, enabling the motor to run cooler and more efficiently for longer life</li><li>The electronically-controlled brushless motor efficiently uses energy to match torque and RPM to the changing demands of the application</li><li>Hammer Driver-Drill features XPT&trade; which is engineered to provide increased dust and water resistance in harsh job site conditions</li><li>Impact Driver with 3-speed power selection (0-1,100 / 0-2,100 / 0-3,600 RPM & 0-1,100 / 0-2,600 / 0-3,800 IPM); delivers 1,550 in.lbs. of torque</li><li>Impact Driver features Tightening Mode (T-mode) for faster tightening of self-drilling screws; helps prevent damage to the screw or workpiece</li><li>18V LXT&reg; Lithium-Ion 5.0Ah battery BL1850B features an integrated L.E.D. battery charge level indicator</li><li>3-year limited warranty on tool, battery and charger</li><li>Only use genuine Makita batteries and chargers</li><li>*Compared to XPH12</li></ul>
