Makita 12V CXT Combi Drills
Makita 12V Cxt Combi Drills are for tight spots and quick fixings where a big drill is just in the way.
When you're in and out of cupboards, loft hatches, stud walls, or doing second-fix all day, a compact combi saves your wrists and still gives you drill, drive, and hammer for the odd plug hole. Makita's 12V CXT platform is a solid choice if you want lighter kit that still takes site use. Pick bare units if you've already got CXT batteries, or grab a kit so you're straight on the tools.
What Jobs Are Makita 12V Cxt Combi Drills Best At?
- Driving screws and fixings in kitchens, wardrobes, and service cupboards where a full size combi is too bulky to swing.
- Drilling pilot holes and clearance holes in timber studwork, battens, and sheet materials without dragging a heavier 18V drill around all day.
- Punching the occasional masonry hole for plugs and clips in brick and block when you need hammer mode for light fixings, not full on chasing.
- Working overhead on second fix and maintenance jobs where the lighter 12V body cuts fatigue and helps you keep control on the bit.
- Quick snagging and call outs where you want one drill that covers most day to day drilling and driving without filling the van with kit.
Choosing the Right Makita 12V Cxt Combi Drill
Keep it simple: buy for the work you do most days, not the one off "might need it" job.
1. Kit or Body
If you are already on Makita 12V CXT, go body and save money by using your existing batteries and charger. If you are new to CXT, get a kit with batteries and a charger so you are not stuck waiting to charge on day one.
2. Battery Capacity for Real Shifts
If it is mainly quick fix and second fix, smaller batteries will do the job and keep the drill light. If you are drilling lots of holes or driving bigger fixings all day, step up in Ah so you are not swapping batteries every hour.
3. Hammer Mode Expectations
A 12V combi is spot on for light masonry holes for plugs and clips. If you are regularly drilling bigger holes in hard brick, concrete, or doing loads of fixings, you will be better off with an SDS or a larger platform drill rather than cooking a compact combi.
Makita 12V Cxt Combi Drills FAQs
What are the features of Makita 12V Cxt Combi Drills?
They are compact combi drills built to drill, drive, and handle light masonry work in hammer mode. The main win is size and control for tight access and second fix, while still giving you proper gearing and a clutch for repeatable screw driving.
Are Makita 12V Cxt Combi Drills available with batteries and charger?
Yes, you will see both kits and body only options. If you already run Makita 12V CXT, body only is the sensible buy. If you are starting from scratch, get a kit so you have batteries and a charger ready to go.
Is there a warranty on Makita 12V Cxt Combi Drills?
Yes, Makita tools come with a manufacturer warranty, and you can often extend it by registering the tool with Makita within their required timeframe. Keep your proof of purchase and register it as soon as it lands to avoid any hassle later.
Are Makita 12V Cxt Combi Drills suitable for professional tradesmen?
Yes, plenty of trades use them daily for second fix, maintenance, and install work where access is tight and you do not need the bulk of an 18V drill. Just be honest about the workload, for constant heavy masonry drilling or big hole saws you will want SDS or a larger platform.

Who Uses Makita 12V Cxt Combi Drills?
- Kitchen fitters and chippies doing second fix, because the compact body gets into corners and doesn't batter your wrist by mid afternoon.
- Sparks and plumbers on maintenance and install work, for drilling and driving in tight risers, cupboards, and loft spaces with one grab and go tool.
- Facilities and snagging teams who need a reliable combi for daily fixings, shelf brackets, and light drilling without carrying a full size setup.
How Makita 12V Cxt Combi Drills Work for You
A combi drill is basically three tools in one. Knowing when to use each mode stops snapped bits, chewed screws, and wasted time.
1. Drill Mode for Clean Holes
Use standard drilling for timber, metal, and plastics. Let the bit do the work and keep your speed sensible, especially on hole saws and larger diameters.
2. Drive Mode with the Clutch
The clutch is what saves you from burying screws, stripping heads, and snapping small fixings. Set it low for hinges and second fix, then step it up as the fixing size and material gets tougher.
3. Hammer Mode for Light Masonry
Hammer adds a tapping action to help you drill into brick and block for plugs. It is not an SDS replacement, but it is handy for quick fixings when you do not want to drag another tool out the van.
Makita 12V CXT Combi Drill Accessories That Actually Get Used
A couple of the right add ons make a compact combi far more useful on real site jobs, and stop you getting caught out mid task.
1. Spare Makita 12V CXT Batteries
Have at least one spare battery if you are using it daily, because nothing kills momentum like waiting on a charger when you are halfway through a fit out or snag list.
2. Makita 12V CXT Charger
A second charger is worth it if the drill lives in the van or you are running more than one CXT tool, so you can keep one set charging at the unit and one at home or the workshop.
3. Quality Mixed Bit Set and Masonry Bits
A decent set of driver bits and the right masonry sizes stops cam out and rounded heads, and means you are not trying to force a blunt bit through brick on hammer mode.
