The Makita XT616PT is a six-piece 18V LXT cordless kit built around brushless tools: a hammer drill, impact driver, recip saw, circular saw, angle grinder and a flashlight. Two 5.0Ah batteries and a dual-port Rapid Optimum Charger keep the tools running, and the charger's fan cools packs for faster cycles. Brushless motors and XPT dust and water resistance put it above older brushed kits on runtime and durability. It suits homeowners and tradespeople who want one battery platform across drilling, driving, cutting and grinding.

Owners rate the kit highly, praising the brushless power, battery life and the convenience of one battery system. Complaints center on weight and on the flashlight being the weakest piece.
The Makita XT616PT is a 6-piece cordless combo kit built around the 18V LXT lithium-ion system. It covers drilling, driving, fastening, cutting, grinding and lighting. The tools use BL brushless motors, which are controlled to optimize battery energy use for up to 50% longer run time.
The kit has a hammer driver-drill with 1,250 in. lbs. of max torque and a 3-speed impact driver with 1,550 in. lbs. of max torque. It also has a 6-1/2" circular saw that runs at 5,000 RPM, and a recipro saw with two speed settings and a 1-1/4" stroke length. A 4-1/2"/5" cut-off/angle grinder runs at 8,500 RPM and has an electric brake. A single LED flashlight puts out 160 lumens.
Two 18V LXT 5.0Ah batteries (BL1850B) are included, and each reaches a full charge in 45 minutes on the Rapid Optimum Charger. The charger has a built-in fan to cool the battery during charging. The batteries have an integrated LED charge level indicator and provide up to 65% more run time per charge.
