 Makita also started shipping a new compact four piece LXT lithium ion combo kit, the LCT400W.
This kit includes:
- BDF452HW Driver/drill (Makita's website says BHP452HW, but our kit definitely came with the BDF452HW)
- BTD142HW Impact Driver
- BML185W Halogen Flashlight (why is this not LED yet?)
- BMR100W Jobsite Radio
- Two 1.5AH 18v LXT Compact Batteries
- Optimum Charger
- Soft-sided Carrying Case
We're familiar with the BDF452HW drill (and even made a video about it) and really liked it. The newly revised BMR100W radio now has two aux jacks for easilly connecting your iPod or portable CD player.
We do like the looks of this kit. A lot. Makita's new white and black coloring scheme is awesome and a welcome change from the teal blue they've used for so many years.
Overall, it's a very nice combo kit, particularly if you are constantly switching between a drill and a driver. MSRP is $480.99, but Tool King has the LCT400W combo kit fo only $369.99 . However, for about $250 more, you can get the LXT700 combo kit instead which includes the teal versions of everything this kit has, plus a Reciprocating saw, Circular saw, and grinder.
