Makita Combo Kits
How to Pick a Makita Combo Kit
Makita combo kits bundle two or more cordless tools with batteries and a charger, so you buy into one battery platform at once. Most kits here run on 18V LXT, from 2-piece drill and impact driver sets like the XT269 and XT281S up to the 6-piece XT614SX1, 7-piece XT706, and the 10-piece XT1001SM woodworking kit. You will also find 40V max XGT kits (GT200D, GT400M1D1), the 12V max CXT CT232, and sub-compact 18V options like the CX203SYB.
What to Look For
- Platform. 18V LXT has the widest tool range, 40V max XGT targets heavier work, and 12V max CXT keeps tools small.
- Tool count. A 2-piece kit covers drilling and driving. 5- to 10-piece kits add saws, grinders, lights, and more.
- Brushless motors. Kits like the XT287SM1, XT328M, and XT296ST use brushless tools for longer runtime per charge.
- Battery size. Included packs range from 1.5Ah for light weight to 5.0Ah for all-day runtime.

Makita Combo Kits FAQ
Should I buy an 18V LXT or 40V max XGT combo kit?
Pick 18V LXT if you want the most tool choices and compatibility with batteries you may already own. Pick 40V max XGT if your work leans on heavy drilling, cutting, and fastening. The two platforms use different batteries, so plan around one as your main system.
What warranty comes with Makita combo kits?
Makita covers its lithium-ion cordless tools, batteries and chargers with a 3-year limited warranty, so the tools, packs, and charger in a kit all fall under it. Makita repairs or replaces at its option through a Makita Factory or Authorized Service Center. Abuse, normal wear, repairs by others, and non-genuine or knock-off batteries are excluded.
