Makita has the worldâs largest 18-Volt cordless tool line-up and the 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless 2-Piece Combo Kit packs two cordless tools for a full range of drilling, driving and fastening applications. The XT261M includes a versatile 1/2 in. hammer driver-drill with all-metal gear construction for applications in wood, metal and masonry. The powerful impact driver weighs only 3.3 lbs., yet delivers a full 1,460 in. lbs. of torque. Both tools are equipped with an efficient and compact 4-pole motor that is engineered for increased speed with no compromise in torque. Itâs part of Makitaâs expanding 18-Volt Lithium-Ion series, the worldâs largest cordless tool line-up powered by an 18-Volt Lithium-Ion slide-style battery. For improved tool performance and extended battery life, Makita created Star Protection Computer Controls. Star Protection is communication technology that allows the Star Protection-equipped tool and battery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating. For increased versatility, the tool can also be powered by Makita 18-Volt LXT and Compact Lithium-Ion batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating Star Protection inside. 18-Volt LXT 4.0Ah batteries (BL1840 and BL1840B) are compatible only with Star Protection tools, indicated by the Star Symbol and/or Yellow Battery Receiver under the tool.
