Makita 18-Volt LXT Brushless Drill/Drive Combo Kit Unboxing

Makita 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless Hammer Drill/Impact Driver Combo Kit
I recently purchased this combo kit to replace two outdated tools. Tune in for my first impressions and reasoning behind choosing this brand, as opposed to a number of other on the market.

18V &20V are the same battery. Milwaukee has I believe even secured the patent on the layout (x5 3.6volt lithium ion cells) and everyone else pays them a licensing fee.

Thanks for the insight and thoroughness in your decision making in the comparison. I use the same drivers, absolutely love them.

[@nwbuilds]

Thanks for your comment, Cameron. Always nice to get the validation from a fellow maker.

[@lovewinson3]

good job on the review, helps me confirm my choice for makita bro. have a great weekend!

[@nwbuilds]

Thank you! I've gotten a handful of makita tools since and have been very happy with all of them

[@FixItFrench]

I have only heard good things about Makita's drill and impact. Happy for you man, it makes me want to buy some more tools lol

[@nwbuilds]

I'm really enjoying them so far! Very quiet and capable, as well as what seems to be an insanely quick recharge time. I'm always pro-more tools hahaha

[@FixItFrench]

@@nwbuilds I just got a new Dewalt drill and impact driver. It's nice getting a fresh set

[@nwbuilds]

@@FixItFrench That's exciting! I'm working on editing a video for a drill charger station with some plans that may be helpful for you

[@FixItFrench]

@@nwbuilds I'll be here

[@minialfers1940]

I've had makita cordless tools for years and they just keep going, I highly recommend their impact and drill set

[@richardbehning9669]

I know it’s a year later, but I just got this same kit and used the 3rd free tool as the subcompact 1/2” impact wrench.
Can’t wait to put it to work! (Automotive)

[@nwbuilds]

Sounds like a great choice! I've since added to my tool line too, some of my favorites being the track saw and cordless circular saw

[@GregBrecker]

Good choice. I think you’ll really like them. With a circular saw, and reciprocal, grinder, multi tool, and sander in the brushless style, for small projects you’ll be unstoppable.
I have most including your setup and love what I can do with them, both for myself and friends / relatives. It’s a very satisfying feeling.

[@Honestandtruth]

Oh thank you for the introduction Reasons WHy you decided with Makita Combo....👍😅

[@jaredwilson753]

My Makita impact was taking out of my case , I was wondering if the set had the same serial numbers on them?,( the drill and impact) so I can for sure know it’s mine when I see it??

[@ion_canadianu]

you thing if i use that 1 time in 2 weeks i need brushless ? or with brush its good also
/?

[@chadlambert3186]

I'm waiting on mine to get here

[@nwbuilds]

I expect you'll be pretty pleased with them as I am almost a year later.

[@Gallardodreamer06]

Does this drill accept brush attachment ?

[@nwbuilds]

I've used a brass brush wheel thing with it if that's what you're referring to

[@the-martinfamily]

Does it have a hammer feature?

[@nwbuilds]

This model does not

[@intheshopnyc849]

It doesn't matter whether 20 volt or 18 volt it's all 20 volt nominal🤷

[@paulmccallum4229]

they are all 18V(3.6V x5 cells) nominal, 20V max (surge)4V x 5 cells max
