Score: 85/100Rankings
The Metabo HPT 18V MultiVolt Cordless Brushless Driver Drill & Impact Driver Combo Kit is a two-tool system featuring a compact driver drill and a lightweight impact driver on a shared 18V/36V battery platform. Designed for contractors and DIYers, it emphasizes portability with a sub-compact footprint while delivering high torque for heavy-duty fastening and drilling tasks. The lifetime warranty and versatile battery system are key advantages.
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.
