The Makita XT281S is a two-tool 18V LXT kit pairing a 1/2-inch brushless driver-drill with a brushless impact driver, plus two 3.0Ah batteries, a charger and a tool bag. The drill has a two-speed gearbox (0-500 and 0-1,900 RPM) and 440 in-lbs of torque; the impact driver runs up to 3,400 RPM and 3,600 IPM with 1,500 in-lbs of torque. Both tools use Makita's brushless motors and XPT dust and water resistance, and share the large LXT battery platform. It suits homeowners and trades who want two capable core tools on one battery system rather than a larger kit with tools they rarely use.
