Makita have decided that smaller is better with their latest combo kit, the Makita LCT209W. Featuring a 12v drill/driver and a separate impact driver in a small package. Impact drivers are becoming more common in today’s tool kits and understandable so. With their high torque ratings and compact size they make light work of driving long screws into place.

The Makita LCT209W 2-Piece Combo Kit uses the latest Lithium Ion battery packs which are interchangeable between the two units.

The compact design is great when you are working in small corners. Even compared to other 12 volt drills and impact drivers these units are very small. This kit also comes with a Makita 3-year warranty on the tools and a 1 year on the batteries and charger.
Makita is well known in the power tool market for delivering quality well built products.
Lets face it, for most jobs you don’t need a bulky and heavy 18v drill when something a little more refined will do. Both the drill and impact drive that comprise the Makita LCT209W combo kit are small, light and pack a punch all for a reasonable low price.
