The Makita XT297T is a two-tool 18V LXT combo kit built around the XPH14 hammer driver-drill and the XDT20 four-speed impact driver, both brushless. The drill is the top of Makita's LXT driver-drill line, with 1,250 in.lbs. of max torque and a body 14% shorter than the previous model. The bundle adds a starter pack with an extra 5.0Ah battery and charger on top of the two batteries in the kit, so you get three batteries total. It suits tradespeople and serious DIYers already in the LXT system who want premium tools and spare runtime; against rival kits it stands out on torque and battery count rather than on price.

This bundle pairs the Makita XT297T 18V LXT brushless cordless 2-piece combo kit with the BL1850BDC1 18V LXT battery and charger starter pack. The combo kit has a 1/2" hammer driver-drill (XPH14Z) and a 4-speed impact driver (XDT20Z), supplied with a bag. The kit comes with two 18V LXT 5.0Ah batteries, and the starter pack adds a 5.0Ah battery and a charger.
The hammer driver-drill delivers 1,250 in.lbs. of max torque and 0-31,500 BPM for hammer drilling into masonry. It is 14% shorter than the previous model. It has a 2-speed transmission (0-550 and 0-2,100 RPM), an all-metal 1/2" self-ratcheting chuck, L.E.D. lights and a rubberized soft grip.
The impact driver has four power selections. Assist Mode drives at low speed until tightening begins, which helps reduce 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. Star Protection computer controls let the tool and battery share data to guard against overloading, over-discharging and overheating.
