Not a bad deal but it will be lower at some point in the future from HD with hacks. I also picked it up during the 2x BMSM glitch at HD for $195. That was so cheap for these tools I bought them even though I didn't need them.

On a side note if you're wondering if these tools are good, they're great. I like these better than dewalt and Milwaukee tools and batts. My current set is the Makita xt268t which has been awesome. Those are honestly nearly as good and maybe better in some minor preference ways. So if you can get the 268t kit for cheap get that one or get this one if you want the newest and best top of the line Makita kit

I have both makita and Milwaukee fuel tools and i would choose the makita all day long. Power is similar on both brands but the winner for me is how they fit in your hands. As a mechanic, using tools all day long 5 days a week, the makita doesn't fatigue your hands as much.

I got this at HD on the 2x BMSM glitch at 216, that's including TAX. This is a pretty smokin deal at 263. Both tools are very impressive. Top of the hilt in 18v LXT Makita Land. Why down thumb? dislike away!

Where are all the powered ratchet deals? I've been just seeing impact wrenches, impact drivers, and drills for a while now 😭

As we say in heavy construction, Milwaukee has the power but makita has the finess

This looks like the 16 and I have the 14. I believe a ever so slight power difference and the location of the lights for the impact driver. Also like the hammer drill I got. Both from home depot hack for 14x.xx. but that was bare tools and I'm very happy. Just got the surge impact from the hack and haven't even had a chance to try it out lol.

I got em.back in May or so June 2021 and it was posted here.

1 last thing, those makita chargers are legit. This is a good deal to get into makita for top of the line tools

I notice they are promoting the rear handle saw, again, at HD. However, no free tool or extra batteries. Saw, 2 batteries, and double charger for 249.

Not even close to the Christmas deals on these, and other deals throughout the last year. Definitely not worth it.

If you use screw guns daily, buy the xst01--hydraulic impulse driver, your ears will thank you even though it's $200--or if you need the kit, get the one with the xdt16--their top of the line impact, which finally has headlights instead of the single led.

Makita lasts lifetime, whereas any tools made by CCI are made to break down quickly.
I judge men's experience and intelligence by tools one uses. Look at those promoting Milwaukee junk tool in utube, tell me if they're not under some kinds of substance. There is one disease cannot be cured, it's called stupidity.
