XT290PT 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless 2-Piece Combo Kit (5.0Ah)

The 18V LXT brushless 2-piece combo kit (model XT290PT) gives you two brushless solutions for drilling, driving and fastening. Each tool features an efficient BL Brushless Motor that is electronically controlled for longer run time, increased power and speed, and longer tool life. The combo kit includes a 1/2" Hammer Driver-Drill with a full 1,250 in-lb of Max Torque for the most demanding applications in wood, metal and masonry. The kit also includes a 7-1/4" Circular Saw delivers 6,000 RPM and features a large 2-5/8" cutting capacity at 90°. The 18V LXT lithium-ion 5.0Ah batteries have the fastest charge times in their category, and for increased convenience they include an on-board L.E.D. charge level indicator.

It′s part of expanding 18V lithium-ion series, the world′s largest cordless tool line-up powered by 18V lithium-ion slide-style batteries. 18V lithium-ion batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger.

For improved tool performance and extended battery life, created Star Protection Computer Controls. Star Protection is 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 18V LXT and Compact lithium-ion batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating Star Protection inside.

Tool users who unplug the cord with Makita 18V LXT experience new levels of convenience, efficiency and productivity. Makita created the 18V Lithium-Ion cordless tool category in 2005, and today it is the world′s largest 18V cordless tool line-up. Makita′s leading technology gives tool users unmatched performance and breadth of line, with innovation in motor and battery technology that is obliterating industry standards - and leaving old thinking behind. With high amp-hour batteries, efficient brushed and brushless motors, and 36V (18V X2) LXT technology, Makita 18V LXT tools not only meet corded demands, they can exceed the performance of corded, all while remaining in a single cordless platform powered by the industry′s fastest-charging 18V lithium-ion batteries.
