Amazon.com Product Review
There are dozens of combination tool kits for sale, but none delivers more power, run time or professional features than the Makita 18-volt LXT400 Four-Piece Lithium-ion Combo Kit. The kit includes: a 1/2-inch hammer-drill/screwdriver that produces 560 inch/pounds of torque, a 1/2-inch impact driver that delivers an amazing 1,280 inch/pounds of torque, a full-size 6-1/2-inch circular saw, and a four-position flashlight that has a superbright Xenon bulb. All four tools are powered by Makita’s high-performance, never-say-die 3 amp/hour lithium-ion batteries, which weigh much less than comparable nicad batteries, but deliver more than twice the run time.

The drill has a three-speed motor for easily handling any drilling or screwdriving job, and when switched to the hammer mode, it will quickly bore through the toughest concrete. The powerful impact driver uses a combination of bit rotation and percussive blows to drive in the largest, longest screws-including lag screws-without any wrist-twisting torque. The circular saw comes with a thin-kerf, carbide-tipped blade, which cuts cleanly while reducing drag on the motor-and that saves battery life. The handy flashlight will run about five hours on a fully charged battery. It has an adjustable head for directing light exactly where you need it, and the flashlight will stand upright. And it all that weren’t enough, each of the three power tools has an on-board light that helps illuminate the work area.

The four tools come with two LXT lithium-ion batteries, a 45-minute battery charger, and a soft-sided tote bag. All total, the kit weighs just over 25 pounds. This isn’t the most affordable combo kit on the market, but it might just be the last one you’ll ever purchase.–Joseph Truini
