Is the CT232 worth it for home use?

Yes, for light jobs like furniture, shelves and outlet covers. It is not the kit for framing or decking; step up to an 18V set for that.

How does it compare with Makita's 18V LXT drill kits?

The 18V kits give more torque and bigger batteries but weigh more and cost more. The CT232 wins on size and price for small tasks.

Can I use the CXT batteries in other Makita tools?

Yes. The 12V Max CXT packs fit Makita's CXT drills, impact drivers, saws, lights and vacuums. They do not fit 18V LXT tools.

What comes in the box?

The drill-driver, the impact driver, two 1.5Ah CXT batteries, a charger and a contractor tool bag. No hard case is included.

When is the CT232 cheapest?

Holiday sales and spring tool events tend to bring the lowest prices. The $149.95 at eBay as of November 4, 2026 is already near the bottom of its recent range.

Our take on the Makita CT232

The Makita CT232 is a two-tool 12V Max CXT kit: a compact drill-driver and an impact driver, each with its own 1.5Ah battery, plus a charger. The drill makes 250 in-lbs of torque and weighs 2.4 lbs; the impact driver makes 970 in-lbs and weighs 2.3 lbs. Both use brushed motors and the CXT slide-on battery, not Makita's 18V LXT packs. At $149.95 at eBay as of November 4, 2026, it sits at the low end of what this kit has sold for recently.
