I thought Makita has changed and then this happened -Testing Makita's newest combo kit.

Makita has done it again, still good tools but not all that much innovation seen in this one. Looking at their newest impact and drill driver combo kit to see what has improved and what stayed the same.

Makita 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless 2 Piece Combo Kit 5.0Ah
Makita 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless 2 Piece Combo Kit 5.0Ah
The Makita® 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Brushless 2-Piece Combo Kit (XT288T) gives you two efficient brushless tools for drilling, driving, and fastening. The Kit includes the category’s fastest-charging 5.0Ah batteries and the breadth-of-line of the 18V LXT System, so your batteries will power the expanding range of Makita tools and accessories. The 18V LXT Brushless 4-Speed Impact Driver (XDT16) sets new standards. The XDT16 offers users four speeds, as well as Makita’s exclusive Quick-Shift Mode™ for increased fastening control. Quick-Shift Mode uses the brushless motor’s electronic controls to find the best balance of speed and torque for each application for more efficient fastening. Another precision setting is Tightening Mode (T-mode), which downshifts and reduces rotation and impact speed prior to driving the screw into place, and is engineered to minimize screw thread stripping, screw breakage and damage to work. The XDT16 delivers industry-leading performance in a compact and ergonomic design.
