Makita is the innovation leader in brushless motor technology, and the 18-Volt LXT Lithium-ion Cordless 2-Piece Combo Kit (model XT257MB) has 2 BL Brushless Motor solutions that deliver longer run time, increased power and speed and longer tool life. The 18-Volt LXT 4.0Ah battery provides 35% more run time per charge than the 3.0Ah battery (BL1830), yet it charges in only 40 minutes the fastest charge-time in the category for less downtime and increased productivity. For added convenience, the batteries feature on-board LED, charge level indicators. The XT257MB includes a BL Brushless Motor Hammer Driver-Drill with 1,090 in. lbs. of torque, the most in the category. The kit also includes a BL Brushless Motor Impact Driver with full 1,420 in. lbs. of Max Torque, yet weighs only 3.4 lbs. (with battery). The XT257MB is a total solution for most drilling, driving and fastening applications. Both tools feature Extreme Protection Technology (XPT), engineered for increased dust and water resistance for operation in harsh job site conditions. Its part of Makita’s expanding 18-Volt Lithium-Ion series, the world’s largest cordless tool line-up powered by 18-Volt Lithium-Ion slide-style battery. Makita 18-Volt 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, Makita created star protection computer controls.

excellent
I have thoroughly enjoyed this set up. Very strong. Very efficient. Very effective. Extremely quick to recharge. I recommend this set to anyone who is working in a commercial setting. The batteries last me for upwards of a week or more of normal use and 3 days for heavy use. I have studied out different brands and also different models within Makita and this is the best. The only negatives are on the impact. The quick chuck is a manual chuck even to install the bit and the led light though nice and bright is only illuminated while the trigger is being pulled. Two small but irritating things and would suggest to Makita to revise those. The new 3 speed impacts are not even a quarter as powerful but has those features. It would be nice to have the combination.
