Product Overview
The Makita DLX2539ST 18V LXT Twin Pack is a versatile, mid-range cordless duo designed to provide reliable drilling and fastening performance across a broad spectrum of tasks. This kit centres around two highly efficient brushless tools: the DHP490 Combi Drill and the DTD157 Impact Driver. By utilising brushless motor technology, both tools deliver longer runtimes and require less maintenance than traditional brushed models. The DHP490 provides a stout 65Nm of torque for masonry and timber work, while the DTD157 impact driver features an "Assist Mode" to help prevent screw cam-out and cross-threading in delicate materials. Supplied with two high-capacity 5.0Ah batteries and a charger, this set offers a substantial power-to-weight ratio, making it an excellent entry point or expansion for anyone invested in the 18V LXT battery platform.
Part No: DLX2539ST(MAKPDLX2539ST)
Features & Benefits
- High-Efficiency Brushless Motors: Both tools are equipped with brushless DC motors that run cooler and more efficiently, extending battery life per charge and overall tool longevity.
- Intelligent Assist Mode (DTD157): Features a specialised A-mode that starts at low speed until the screw begins to tighten, stabilising the fastener and protecting the workpiece from damage.
- Multi-Speed Versatility: The DHP490 combi drill offers a 2-speed mechanical gearbox, allowing users to choose between high-speed drilling and high-torque driving.
- Extreme Protection Technology (XPT): Engineered for improved dust and water resistance, ensuring the tools continue to perform in demanding outdoor or site conditions.
- Compact Ergonomics: The DTD157 is exceptionally short at just 133mm in length, making it perfect for driving screws in restricted or awkward spaces.
- Twin LED Job Lights: Integrated lighting with pre-glow and afterglow functions ensures clear visibility of the work area even in dark corners.
- Lithium-Ion Fuel Gauges: The BL1850B batteries include a 4-stage LED indicator so you can check remaining power levels instantly.

FAQs
Cordless Kits, which comprise multiple power tools from the same brand, offer great value for money – especially compared to the price of buying all the items individually – but they can still be a big financial outlay. It’s worth thinking about how much use you’ll get out of each item to make sure you’re not spending extra for a tool you’ll hardly use. If you’re adding a new kit to an existing set of tools, you may want to consider staying ‘loyal’ to the brand you’ve already purchased, as batteries will be interchangeable between machines, but most of our Cordless Kits include batteries and chargers. Our Cordless Kits range from 2 pieces right up to 6 pieces and feature all the major brands, so we have a great value option for everyone!
ToolStore UK carries all the major power tool brands because we know that they all have special qualities which help to make them stand out. For example, by launching kits which use the FlexVolt 54v battery, DeWalt has created a new frontier in battery power. Makita have also developed a technology which goes beyond the current industry-standard 18v battery and their 40v range provides a lot of power and tool performance. Both DeWalt and Makita also offer 18v Cordless Kits, as do other major brands including Milwaukee, and Metabo. You might already be familiar with tools from a particular brand; whether to stick with that or buy something different is a personal choice.
