Makita DLX2289M01 18V LXT 2PC Brushless 1/2″ Drill & 1/4″ Impact Driver Combo Kit (2) 4AH

The Makita DLX2289M01 is a professional 18V LXT cordless combo built for everyday drilling, fastening, and installation work. It pairs the compact DDF485Z 1/2″ drill/driver with the high‑torque DTD153Z 1/4″ impact driver, powered by two 18V LXT 4.0Ah batteries and a standard charger. Both tools use brushless motors to deliver strong power with better efficiency and less heat, making them suitable for long shifts in construction, maintenance, or production settings. Makita’s eXtreme Protection Technology (XPT) helps guard internal components from dust and moisture, while all‑metal gearing supports consistent power transfer and long service life.

The DDF485Z provides two mechanical speeds (0–500 / 0–1,900 RPM) and 21 clutch settings for controlled drilling and driving. The compact head (6‑5/8″ long) and dual LED lights help in cabinets, ceiling spaces, and vehicle bays. The DTD153Z impact driver delivers up to 3,400 RPM and 3,600 IPM with 1,500 in‑lbs of fastening torque for structural screws, lag bolts, and stubborn fasteners. With two 4.0Ah packs, crews can keep one battery working while the other charges, supporting steady runtime without added bulk.
