Our take on the Makita XT288T 2-Pc. Combo W/ BL1840BDC1 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Battery and Charger Starter Pack

This bundle pairs Makita's XT288T two-tool 18V LXT combo kit with the BL1840BDC1 battery and charger starter pack, so the tools run out of the box. The XT288T centers on a brushless variable 2-speed hammer driver-drill rated at 1,250 in.lbs. of max torque and 6.0 lbs. with battery, plus a second 18V LXT tool. The starter pack adds a 4.0Ah-class battery with an LED charge indicator and a charger that reaches full charge in 40 minutes or less. It suits shoppers already on the LXT platform or starting out who want brushless power and a spare battery in one purchase.

What reviewers say

Owners of the XT288T combo generally praise the brushless drill's torque and smooth trigger control, and LXT users value the shared battery platform. Complaints tend to focus on the kit's limited tool count and the drill's weight in extended overhead use.

What people mention
  • TorquePraisedOwners say the drill drives large fasteners and auger bits without bogging down.
  • WeightMixedThe 6.0 lb. drill is fine on a bench but tiring during long overhead work.
  • BatteryMixedThe included pack charges fast and has an LED gauge, but its capacity is modest for heavy jobs.
  • Brushless motorPraisedReviewers note the brushless motor runs cooler and stretches run time per charge.
  • Kit contentsCriticisedBuyers point out the combo covers only two tools, so it is a starting point rather than a full set.

About the Makita XT288T 2-Pc. Combo W/ BL1840BDC1 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Battery and Charger Starter Pack

This bundle pairs the Makita XT288T 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless 2-Pc. Combo Kit with the BL1840BDC1 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Battery and Charger Starter Pack. Every tool in the bundle runs on the same 18V LXT platform. Battery power is included, so the tools are ready to run out of the box.

The XT288T includes a variable 2-speed hammer driver-drill with a brushless motor. The motor is electronically controlled to match torque and RPM to the demands of the application and to optimize battery energy use. This gives up to 50% longer run time per charge.

The BL1840BDC1 battery has an integrated L.E.D. charge level indicator for monitoring the battery charge. It provides up to 35% more run time per charge than the BL1830 and reaches full charge in 40 minutes or less.
