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

Excelente calidad

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.

After reviewing different brands like Dewalt, Milwaukee, Metabo etc etc i decided to go with Makita. Why? It was one of the lighter drills and drivers out there and they both did really well with all the tests that i watched on youtube. I have a house made out of concrete and masonry so i needed a drill that could handle the walls and this one did just that. No problem at all. Dewalt was sometimes producing smoke during different testing and Milwaukee was a bit to expansive. This set was priced really well for a day or so and bought it without hesitation. The impact driver is amazingly light and small, even with the 5ah battery and it has loads of power. I am thinking about getting a 2ah or 1.5ah battery just to get into tiny spaces. There are cheaper brands out there but if you’re gonna get a hammer drill and impact driver, just spent the extra bucks on getting a quality product like the brands well known for making power tools. Its gonna save you lots of headaches and work and you’ll keep them for many years.

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

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.
