Do the batteries fit other Makita tools?

Yes. The 18V LXT slide-style batteries work across Makita's 18V LXT lineup, including tools with the star symbol for Star Protection.

Is the angle grinder brushless?

Yes. The 4-1/2-inch grinder is brushless and spins at 8,500 RPM; the drill and impact driver are brushed.

What can the circular saw cut?

The 6-1/2-inch saw cuts 2x material at 45 degrees, so it handles framing and general crosscuts.

How much torque does the impact driver have?

Makita rates it at 1,460 in-lbs of max torque, and the hammer driver-drill at 480 in-lbs.

Can I use larger batteries in this kit?

Yes. The tools accept Makita 18V LXT and Compact Lithium-Ion batteries with the star symbol, so higher-capacity packs work.

Is this kit aimed at pros or homeowners?

Makita positions it for pro users who want one battery system across several tools; serious DIYers also fit.

What reviewers say

Owners of Makita 18V LXT kits generally praise the battery platform and the reliability of the core tools, and the six-tool bundle is seen as a practical way onto the system. Common complaints center on the small 3.0Ah packs running down quickly in the saw and grinder, and on the brushed drill and driver being outclassed by newer brushless models.

About the Makita XT610 18V LXT Li-Ion Cordless 6-pc Tool Combo Kit (3.0Ah)

The Makita XT610 is an 18V LXT Lithium-Ion cordless combo kit with six tools. Together they cover drilling, driving, fastening, cutting, grinding, demolition and more. The kit includes a 1/2" hammer driver-drill, an impact driver, a 6-1/2" circular saw, a reciprocating saw, a 4-1/2" brushless angle grinder and a rechargeable flashlight with a Xenon bulb.

The tools run on Makita 18V LXT slide-style batteries. Star Protection Computer Controls lets the tool and battery exchange data in real time during use. This helps protect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating. The tools can also run on Makita 18V LXT and Compact Lithium-Ion batteries marked with the star symbol.

The Rapid Optimum Charger has a built-in fan to cool the battery. It communicates with the battery's chip during charging and controls current, voltage and temperature to protect battery life. The kit includes two 3.0Ah batteries, the charger and a tool bag.
