Makita XT297T 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless 2-Piece Hammer Drill and Impact Driver Combo Kit with (2) 5.0Ah Batteries

The Makita XT297T 18V LXT Brushless Cordless 2-Piece Combo Kit is an industrial power tool system engineered for high-torque masonry drilling, structural timber driving, and heavy-duty metal fastening. Powered by two 18V 5.0Ah BL1850B lithium-ion batteries with Star Protection Computer Controls, this 14.95-pound jobsite kit combines the XPH14 1/2-inch hammer driver-drill (delivering 1,250 in-lbs of max torque and up to 31,500 BPM) with the XDT20 4-speed impact driver (producing 1,590 in-lbs of torque and up to 3,800 IPM). Equipped with Extreme Protection Technology (XPT) for moisture resistance, electronic assist modes to prevent screw cam-out, and a DC18RC Rapid Optimum Charger that recharges a 5.0Ah battery in 45 minutes, this kit provides contractors with continuous drilling and fastening performance.

Best Used For:

  • High-Torque Masonry & Concrete Drilling: Driving percussion carbide bits up to 1/2 inch into poured concrete and brick walls using 31,500 BPM hammer action.
  • Structural Timber & Frame Fastening: Driving heavy lag screws and long construction fasteners into dense structural lumber with 1,250 in-lbs of drill torque.
  • Controlled Sheet Metal Screwing: Fastening self-drilling screws into light and heavy gauge metal using dual Tightening Modes (T-mode) to eliminate thread stripping.

Key Performance & Safety Features

  • High-Output Brushless Motors: Electronically controlled motors optimize battery power usage for up to 50% longer runtime per battery charge.
  • XPH14 1/2" All-Metal Hammer Drill: Produces 1,250 in-lbs of torque with a 2-speed transmission (0-550 & 0-2,100 RPM) and an all-metal self-ratcheting chuck.
  • XDT20 4-Speed Impact Driver: 4-speed power selection (0-3,600 RPM & 0-3,800 IPM) provides 1,590 in-lbs of torque with a 360-degree LED light ring.
  • Assist Mode & Tightening Modes: A-mode prevents screw cam-out by starting slow, while T-modes optimize speed for self-drilling metal fasteners.
  • Extreme Protection Technology (XPT): Internal rubber seals divert dust, debris, and water away from critical electronic control boards.
  • Star Protection Computer Controls: Monitors current, voltage, and temperature in real-time to guard tools against overloading and overheating.
