Customer Reviews for Makita 18V LXT 5.0Ah Lithium-ion Brushless Cordless Combo Kit 2-Piece (Hammer Drill/Impact Driver)

Makita hammer drill it's very good quality hammer drill. Perfect and home depot is awesome

I am impressed with how long these 5ah batteries last. If you only have these two you will be able to charge one full before the other ones needs charging.

I really like the Makita line of tools great quality and reliability. These batteries are great they last a long time because of how the charger keeps them cool while charging. I got them a great price.

This is the most powerful tool I never have

Easy to assemble. The bag fits all the tools it comes with. The batteries have an incredible power to them and although they’re much heavier than my 3Amp batteries, I love how long they stay charged. I can now use a drill for a couple hours before switching it out for another battery. That being said, the kit came with two batteries and they charge very quickly, which is convenient in the field. Haven’t had the chance to use the handle that attaches to drill (Because I originally thought it was stupid) but my coworkers are actually jealous because when we drill into concrete or hard woods- the torque can break your wrist if you aren’t careful. So that was good to know.

All my battery powered tools are Makita so any time Home Depot has these 2pks on sale I grab them up. I love my Makita tools they have performed perfectly every time.

The best saw I have

Got these on clearance. Perfect size and run time. They are the same size as the 3.0Ah ones but with a longer run time. Note: They will not work with older Makita tools that don't have the star on the battery receiver or yellow receiver and don't support the safety features of the newer batteries. Check the notches. Will not work with the bigger notch.

Impactor and drill are at the best of what Makita has to offer at the Home Depot in store.

I had the 2.0ah that came with the drill which did great. But these are amazing. I have yet to have a project that I have ran these 5ah to even half. I wish I would have bought them a long time ago. I love the push bottom power indicator. The 5ah are only 1/2 longer than the 2ah batteries and the weight difference is minimal.

They work good but they don’t fit in my sawzal or circular saw or angle grinder they are only a few years old and were the primary reason for getting the bigger batteries I am pretty upset about them not working in my tools

Battery worked well for me, I used this for my x2 tracksaw. Not enough to drain the battery so I can not attest to how long they will last for. Also with the rapid charger they charge in 45minutes which is greater

This was a great deal on an excellent combo of tools. In my opinion you can’t go wrong with Makita.. this drill/impact driver combo replaced my first Makita set that was nine years old. This new impact has adjustable speed/torque settings and the new drill has almost twice the torque of my old model

Excellent value. I had a 5 tool Li ion Makita set that’s about 10 years old. My impact driver was wearing out and I was down to 2 good batteries. The new set came with 6 batteries total. 2 5ah and 4 3ah batteries. And the new batteries fit my existing Li ion Makita tools with a small and simple modification available on YouTube. Excellent option especially if you need new batteries more than new tools. Plus I got a 25$ instant rebate/discount at online checkout and it was delivered a day ahead of schedule. Very satisfied!

I needed to buy new batteries to complete a deck project after my last original 3.0Ah battery died (after 12-13 years), and swapping around the one 4.0Ah battery I had really slowed things down ("Are you done with the battery yet? OK. Throw it over to me.") The fuel gauge is pretty nice after all the years of not knowing how close you were to a dead battery. And the capacity is pretty amazing. I used the packs for hours of screwing or drilling into pressure-treated lumber, and rarely got to half power. The only thing that challenged the batteries was the circular saw; cutting through a very wet, pressure-treated 2x12, cutting stair stringers. 12 feet took 3 batteries (almost with 2).

Long lasting battery. Used it to power a random orbital sander for 30 minutes, almost continuously. Still had 2 bars. Plugged it in the reciprocating saw to remove a door. Still showed 2 bars. They also last a while on the circular saw. With (2) 3Ah, (1) 4Ah, (2) 5Ah batteries & two chargers, I have enough batteries for all day, powering drill, impact driver, recip saw, circular saw, RO sander, and grinder. The battery level indicator is handy, but Makita should put them on the same side as the release button. As it is, when you plug the battery in, you can't check the battery level without first removing it.

These worked great, though I found out later that Home Depot online sold the higher capacity set of 6ah batteries for $50 less, so I'd suggest checking online before buying in the store.

Holy crap !! 300 dollars for two lithium batteries. But I had to buy this because the original ones that were sent to me along with the Makita edger tool were defective. I have since resolved this with a replacement from a Makita authorized service center.

The best saw I ever had, solid tool.

It was a great deal.
