The Makita XT261M is a two-tool 18V LXT kit: a 1/2 in. hammer driver-drill and a compact impact driver, with two 4.0Ah batteries, a charger and a case. The impact driver weighs 3.3 lbs. and delivers 1,460 in.-lbs. of torque, and both tools use a 4-pole motor and all-metal gear construction on the drill. Star Protection electronics let tool and battery share data to guard against overload, over-discharge and overheating. It suits homeowners and trades who want two core tools on Makita's large 18V LXT battery platform; the drill is heavier and less compact than newer brushless rivals, and the kit skips a third tool that some competing combos include.

Owners of Makita's 18V LXT tools generally praise the power, battery life and durability, and the impact driver's torque-to-weight ratio gets frequent mention. The drill's size and weight draw some complaints from users who want a lighter, more compact tool.
This Makita 18-Volt LXT cordless combo kit (XT261M) includes a 1/2 in. hammer driver-drill and an impact driver for drilling, driving and fastening. The hammer driver-drill has all-metal gear construction and is made for use in wood, metal and masonry. Both tools use a compact 4-pole motor built for increased speed without losing torque.
Both tools have extreme protection technology (XPT) for increased dust and water resistance in harsh job site conditions. Star Protection computer controls let the tool and battery exchange data in real time. They monitor use to protect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating.
The kit comes with two 4.0Ah LXT batteries, a rapid optimum charger and a plastic tool case. The charger has a built-in fan to cool the battery. It communicates with the battery's chip to control current, voltage and temperature during charging. The tools can also run on other Makita 18-Volt LXT and Compact Lithium-Ion batteries marked with the star symbol.
