Our take on the Makita 12V max CXT Lithium-Ion Cordless 2-Piece Combo Kit, 1.5Ah (CT232)

The Makita CT232 pairs a 12V max CXT drill-driver with a 12V max CXT impact driver, both built on Makita's slide-on CXT battery. The drill makes up to 250 in-lbs of torque and the impact driver up to 970 in-lbs, enough for pilot holes, fasteners, installs and punch lists. Both tools are compact and light, which suits cabinet work, electrical and overhead jobs where a full-size 18V drill gets tiring. Against 12V rivals it stands out for Makita's build quality and the shared battery platform; the trade-off is lower power than 18V tools and only 1.5Ah batteries in the kit.

What reviewers say

Owners rate the CT232 as a solid light-duty kit, praising the compact size and the impact driver's power for its class. Complaints center on battery runtime with the 1.5Ah packs and the limits of 12V power on heavier jobs.

What people mention
  • Size and weightPraisedOwners like how compact and light both tools feel, especially for overhead and cabinet work.
  • Battery runtimeCriticisedThe 1.5Ah batteries drain quickly under continuous use, so owners keep spares on hand.
  • Impact powerPraisedThe impact driver drives long screws and fasteners without bogging down for a 12V tool.
  • 12V limitsMixedFine for light and medium tasks, but owners say it is not a replacement for 18V on large holes or lag bolts.
  • Build qualityPraisedOwners describe the tools as well made and durable for their class.

About the Makita 12V max CXT Lithium-Ion Cordless 2-Piece Combo Kit, 1.5Ah (CT232)

The Makita CT232 is a cordless combo kit with a 3/8 inch driver-drill and a 1/4 inch impact driver. It is built for light-to-medium duty drilling, driving and fastening, such as pilot holes, installs and general fastening work in tight spaces.

The driver-drill has two speed ranges, 0 to 450 RPM and 0 to 1,700 RPM, and delivers up to 250 in-lbs of max torque. The impact driver runs at 0 to 2,600 RPM with up to 3,500 impacts per minute and delivers up to 970 in-lbs of max torque. Both tools are short and light for reaching between studs, working under sinks or inside cabinets.

Both tools use the 12V max CXT slide-style battery, which lets them stand upright on the battery. The handles are rubberized, and each tool has a built-in LED light. Battery protection circuitry guards against overloading, over-discharging and overheating. The kit is not compatible with 12V max pod-style tools, batteries or chargers.

Questions and answers

Is the CT232 enough for furniture assembly and small installs?
Yes. The drill handles pilot holes and the impact driver drives screws and bolts, which covers most assembly and light install work.
Can I use my other Makita 12V max CXT batteries in these tools?
Yes. Both tools run on the slide-on 12V max CXT battery, so any CXT pack you already own fits.
How does it compare with an 18V kit?
It is smaller and lighter but less powerful. Choose 18V for large holes, decking and heavy fastening; choose this for light and overhead work.
What is in the box?
The kit includes the drill-driver, the impact driver, 1.5Ah CXT batteries and a charger.
Does the drill have a clutch and two speeds?
Yes. The drill-driver has an adjustable clutch for driving screws and a two-speed gearbox for drilling.
Will the 1.5Ah batteries last a full day?
Not on continuous work. They suit intermittent use; for all-day driving, plan on spare CXT packs.
