Score: 70/100
Makita CT225SYX
Score: 78/100Rankings
The Makita CT225SYX is a compact 18V LXT combo kit designed for professional users who require durable tools for drilling and fastening in tight spaces. Its key strength lies in its XPT protection technology and Star Protection controls, which enhance durability and battery life. While the brushed motors and lower capacity batteries are trade-offs, it remains a robust choice for tradespeople working in confined or harsh environments.
The Makita CT225R is a discontinued 18V LXT compact 2-piece combo kit featuring a brushed motor and 2.0Ah battery. While it offers good versatility and ecosystem compatibility, it lacks the efficiency of modern brushless motors and is no longer in production. It is best suited for users seeking a budget-friendly option from the LXT ecosystem who do not require the latest technology.
