Is this kit worth it over buying the tools separately?

If you need a drill, impact driver, recipro saw and light and are settling on the 40V XGT platform, the kit covers all four with batteries and a charger. Buying separately means buying more batteries and chargers, so the kit is the simpler route for a full setup.

How does XGT compare with Makita's 18V LXT tools?

XGT runs on 40V max batteries and delivers more torque and power for heavy applications. LXT is lighter and has a far larger tool lineup, but the two battery systems do not interchange.

Can I use the 40V batteries in other Makita tools?

Yes, within the XGT system. The batteries fit other 40V max XGT tools and chargers, but not 18V LXT tools or batteries.

What is included in the box?

The kit includes the hammer driver-drill, impact driver, recipro saw and 4-LED flashlight, along with 40V max XGT batteries and a charger. Check the listing for the exact battery count and capacity.

Does the hammer driver-drill work on concrete?

It has a hammer mode with 0-9,750 and 0-39,000 BPM and 1,250 in.lbs. of torque, enough for light masonry drilling and anchors. For sustained concrete drilling, a dedicated rotary hammer is the better tool.

How long does the flashlight run?

Makita rates it at up to 55 hours of continuous illumination on a single charge with a 40V max XGT 4.0 Ah battery.

What reviewers say

Owners of Makita's XGT line generally rate the tools highly for torque and build, and combo buyers like getting several tools on one battery platform. The recurring complaints are weight and the cost of expanding into more 40V batteries.

What people mention

TorquePraisedOwners report the impact driver and hammer drill handle demanding fastening and masonry work without bogging down.
Build qualityPraisedUsers describe the tools as rugged and jobsite-durable, citing the XPT sealing and reinforced housings.
WeightCriticisedThe 40V tools and batteries are heavier than 18V equivalents, which wearers notice overhead.
Battery platformMixedBuyers like standardizing on XGT but note the batteries and chargers are costly and not shared with 18V LXT tools.
Recipro sawPraisedThe saw's long stroke and low-vibration crank get credit for fast, controllable cutting.
FlashlightMixedThe light is useful for its long runtime, but 160 lumens is dim compared with dedicated work lights.

About the Makita GT401M1D1 40V XGT Cordless 4-Piece Combo Kit

This kit combines four 40V max XGT cordless tools for drilling, driving and cutting: a hammer driver-drill, an impact driver, a reciprocating saw and an LED flashlight. The tools run on 40V max lithium-ion batteries and use Makita-built brushless motors.

The hammer driver-drill has a 1/2" chuck and two speed settings, with a maximum torque of 1,250 in.lbs. The impact driver has a 1/4" hex shank and four speed settings, with a maximum torque of 1,950 in.lbs. The reciprocating saw has a 1-1/4" stroke length and a refined crank mechanism designed to minimize blade deflection and reduce vibration. A tool-less lever changes the blade.

The tools use Extreme Protection Technology (XPT) for increased dust and water resistance, and the gear housing is reinforced. Digital communication within the XGT system monitors and protects against overload, over-discharge and overheating. The XGT Rapid Charger has a dual-fan design that cools the battery and circuit board, and a digital display shows charge level.
