What is included in the kit?

The kit contains the 1/2-inch driver-drill, the impact driver, two 18V LXT batteries, a charger and a carrying case.

Does the impact driver use the same batteries as other Makita 18V tools?

Yes. Both tools run on Makita's 18V LXT batteries, so they share packs with the rest of the LXT line.

Is this kit enough for deck building?

The impact driver has the torque for deck screws, but the small batteries drain fast on long runs. A larger pack helps.

Does the drill have a hammer mode?

No. This is a drill and driver combo, not a hammer drill, so it is not meant for masonry.

How does it compare with Makita's sub-compact line?

These tools are slightly larger and heavier than the sub-compact series but deliver more torque and use standard LXT batteries.

About the Makita 18V Compact Cordless 2-Piece Combo 1.5Ah Kit (CT225SYX)

The Makita CT225SYX is an 18V compact cordless combo kit with a 1/2" driver-drill and an impact driver. It is built for drilling, driving and fastening in a compact size. The kit includes two 1.5Ah batteries, a charger and a tool bag.

The driver-drill has 2 speeds (0-600 and 0-1,900 RPM) and delivers up to 480 in.lbs. of max torque. It is 7-1/4" long and weighs 3.3 lbs. with the battery. The impact driver has variable speed (0-2,900 RPM and 0-3,500 IPM) and delivers up to 1,460 in.lbs. of max torque. It is 5-3/8" long and weighs 2.8 lbs. with the battery.

Both tools have ergonomic handles with rubberized soft grips and a built-in LED light that illuminates the work area. Extreme Protection Technology (XPT) gives them increased dust and water resistance in harsh job site conditions. Star Protection Computer Controls let the tool and battery exchange data in real time. This protects against overloading, over-discharging and overheating. The tools also work with Makita 18V LXT lithium-ion batteries marked with a star symbol.
