- Does this kit include batteries and a charger?
- Yes. It comes with two 18V LXT 5.0Ah batteries and a dual-port charger, so both tools are ready to run out of the box.
- Is this kit worth it over buying the drill and impact driver separately?
- The kit bundles both brushless tools with two batteries and a charger, which is simpler than sourcing each piece. Buyers who already own LXT batteries may prefer bare tools.

- Yes. The 18V LXT batteries fit the full Makita 18V LXT lineup, including saws, grinders and outdoor equipment.
- How does it compare with Makita's larger combo kits?
- Larger kits add tools such as a circular saw or reciprocating saw, often with a case. This kit keeps to the two most-used tools and two batteries.
- What is included in the box?
- A brushless hammer driver-drill, a brushless impact driver, two 5.0Ah batteries, a dual-port charger and the usual bits and belt clips.
