At the heart of this kit is the DHP492 Combi Drill, delivering up to 141Nm maximum torque across 21 adjustable torque settings and a two-speed gearbox with up to 2,100rpm. Its hammer drilling function generates up to 31,500 impacts per minute, making it well suited to masonry, wood and steel drilling across a wide range of capacities. The DTD201 Impact Driver complements the combi drill with up to 210Nm of fastening torque and four selectable speed settings, giving contractors precise control when driving long screws, coach screws and heavy-duty fixings. The 1/4" quick-change hex chuck allows fast bit swaps on site without interrupting workflow. Both machines feature Makita brushless motor technology, delivering increased efficiency, longer runtime per charge and reduced maintenance requirements compared to brushed alternatives. Integrated LED work lights, electric brakes and battery protection systems further support productivity and safe operation across demanding site conditions. Supplied complete with two 5.0Ah LXT batteries, a fast charger and a robust Makpac carry case, this kit provides a ready-to-use professional drilling and fastening solution straight from the box.
The Makita DLX2566TJ is a professional-grade power tool kit designed for tradespeople in construction, carpentry, and electrical installation who require high-performance, long-lasting reliability. Featuring both the DHP492 Combi Drill and DTD201 Impact Driver, this kit delivers exceptional torque for heavy-duty drilling and fastening, though its premium power output may be overkill for light-duty domestic DIY tasks.
