The Makita XT297T bundles two 18V LXT brushless tools: the XPH14 1/2-inch hammer driver-drill and the XDT20 4-speed impact driver. The drill leads the LXT driver-drill line with 1,250 in-lbs of max torque and a body 14% shorter than its predecessor; the impact driver adds four speed settings for controlled fastening. The kit ships with two 5.0Ah batteries, a bag, and a separate starter pack with two 4.0Ah batteries and a Rapid Optimum charger, so you get four batteries total. It suits tradespeople and serious DIYers who want top-tier LXT tools and spare packs, though the doubled batteries add bulk and overlap for casual users.

This bundle pairs the Makita XT297T 18V LXT brushless cordless 2-piece combo kit with the BL1840BDC2X starter pack. The combo kit has a 1/2" hammer driver-drill (XPH14Z) and a 4-speed impact driver (XDT20Z). The starter pack adds two 4.0Ah batteries and a Rapid Optimum Charger.
The hammer driver-drill delivers 1,250 in.lbs. of max torque and 0-31,500 BPM for hammer drilling into masonry. It has a 2-speed transmission (0-550 and 0-2,100 RPM), 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 four power selections. 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. Both tools use a Makita-built brushless motor and Extreme Protection Technology (XPT) for dust and water resistance.
