The Makita XT297T is a two-tool 18V LXT combo kit built around two brushless tools: the XPH14 hammer driver-drill and the XDT20 four-speed impact driver. The drill delivers 1,250 in-lbs of max torque and up to 31,500 BPM for masonry, while the impact driver's four speed settings run from 0-1,100 up to 0-3,800 RPM for controlled fastening. Two 5.0Ah batteries with on-board charge indicators, a charger and a tool bag round out the kit. It suits tradespeople and serious DIYers already in or willing to commit to Makita's LXT platform, where the breadth of bare tools is the main draw against rival 18V systems.

Owners of Makita's LXT brushless tools consistently rate the power, runtime and build quality highly, and the four-speed impact driver is a common favorite. Complaints tend to center on kit contents and battery weight rather than tool performance.
This kit pairs two Makita 18V LXT brushless cordless tools: the XPH14Z 1/2" Hammer Driver-Drill and the XDT20Z 4-Speed Impact Driver. It comes with two 5.0Ah batteries, a charger and a tool bag. Both tools use a Makita-built brushless motor, which is electronically controlled to match torque and speed to the job and to use battery energy efficiently.
The hammer driver-drill has a 2-speed transmission (0-550 and 0-2,100 RPM) and delivers up to 1,250 in.lbs. of torque and 0-31,500 BPM for hammer drilling into masonry. It has an all-metal 1/2" self-ratcheting chuck, LED lights and a rubberized soft grip. It is 14% shorter than the previous model.
The impact driver has 4-speed power selection and delivers up to 1,590 in.lbs. of torque. Assist Mode drives at low speed until tightening begins, which helps prevent screw cam-out and cross threading. Two Tightening Modes speed up driving self-drilling screws in thick or thin gauge metal. An LED light ring lights the work area from 360°.
