Makita lxt218x or lxt239

jg244888 · Jun 5, 2014

Hi all
I'm currently looking to purchase a Makita drill/driver combo kit and have narrowed it down to the lxt218x ($219) and lxt239 ($240) kits. Which do you recommend and why, any reason to stay away from one or the other.

Thanks for the help

I'd say the LXT239 because it's brushless and gets a lot more runtime on a battery.Oh I'm sorry mine is a newer one http://www.makitatools.com/en-us/Modules/Tools/ToolDetails.aspx?Name=XT248
I have one on CL now

i bought the makita LCT200W combo at home depot last year. i heard theres a difference in the one depot sells vs other tool suppliers. Is this true? They're fine for the work I do but im not honestly thrilled with them, especially after using a dewalt 20v driver a friend of mine has.
