Our take on the Max CXT 12-Volt Cordless Drill/Driver + Impact Driver Combo Kit, 3/8-In., 2 Lithium-Ion Batteries

A two-tool 12V kit pairing a 3/8-inch drill/driver with an impact driver, both built on Makita's CXT slide battery. The drill runs two speeds up to 1,700 rpm and 250 in-lb of torque; the impact driver reaches 2,600 rpm, 3,500 ipm and 970 in-lb. Both are short and light — about 7 inches and 2.4 lb for the drill, 6 inches and 2.3 lb for the impact — which makes them easy to hold overhead or in tight cabinets. Against 18V combos they give up raw power, and against other 12V kits the appeal is the slide-pack design that lets each tool stand upright plus an on-battery charge gauge.

What reviewers say

Owners of Makita's CXT line generally praise the compact size and light weight for assembly and light repair work, and like the slide batteries that let the tools stand on a bench. The common complaint is that 12V torque runs out on heavier tasks, so most treat it as a second kit rather than a primary one.

What people mention
  • Size and weightPraisedOwners like how short and light both tools are for overhead and cabinet work.
  • PowerCriticisedReviewers say the 12V motors struggle with large holes and long screws.
  • BatteryMixedThe slide packs and charge gauge are liked, but 2.0Ah capacity drains quickly on bigger jobs.
  • Chuck sizeCriticisedThe 3/8-inch chuck is seen as limiting for bits and accessories meant for 1/2-inch drills.
  • BuildPraisedOwners describe the tools as solid and well finished for their class.

Questions and answers

Is this kit enough for home projects?
Yes for assembly, shelving, outlet plates and light deck work. For drilling large holes or driving long lag screws, an 18V drill is the better fit.
Does it use Makita 18V batteries?
No. It runs on Makita 12V max CXT slide batteries, which are a separate line from the 18V LXT packs.
What is in the box?
The drill/driver, the impact driver, two 12V max CXT 2.0Ah batteries, a charger and a tool case.
How does the impact driver compare with the drill?
The impact driver has far more torque for screws and reaches higher speed, while the drill has the chuck for bits and two speed ranges for controlled drilling.
Can the tools stand up on their own?
Yes. The slide battery design lets each tool stand upright on a flat surface.
Is it a good step up from a single cordless drill?
It adds a dedicated impact driver for screws and a second battery, which speeds up assembly work, but it stays in the light-duty class.
