Click the Link that says Home Depot. It should allow you to download the PDF of that ad in the first post.

Same goes for Lowes.

So what you are saying is that the Makita kit that Home Depot is selling on sale is the white colored kit instead of the blue one? That doesn't seem right because it does list it as Hammer Driver and I don't think the smaller white ones have the Hammer Driver. But if it is it still sounds like a deal. What is the difference between the two then?

Yes, that is what I'm saying. You don't have to take my word for it, you can view the ad scan for yourself by following the link in one of my posts above.

Makita does indeed have a White Drill with the Hammer feature. It's the BHP452HW, which is essentially the same as the blue BHP452. Both are Compact Hammer Drills.

What I mentioned above was the fact that I haven't seen an LCT combo kit with the BHP452HW included. The LCT200W includes the BDF452HW, which is the normal Compact Drill/Driver. Same goes for the LCT300W and LCT400W.

I'll be able to get some more info about the deal today, so I'll try to keep you guys updated.

As far as Blue vs White, the only real difference is that the blue kit comes with full size batteries vs compact batteries in the white. Two more differences are the specs are a hair lower on Impact Driver in the white combo, and that I believe the white combo can only accept the compact batteries. I'll have to double check on the accepting batteries thing.

Update on the Makita deal.

The product model is LCT2009. UPC is 088381604987. Couldn't find any info on it. I do know that the stores should have limited quantities on it. The busiest store around here only received 8 of them.

Did some research on the Makita compact drills. On their website it says that the white colored compact drills will accept the full 3.0 Lithion batteries. But the blue colored will NOT accept the 1.5. So I am thinking that the deal they are having at Home Depot is still a hell of a deal and will probably be purchasing these at 6 am Black Friday.

I can say for a fact that the blue drills will accept the 1.5 batteries. I have one in my Impact Driver right now.

OK did my homework too...

There are three kits/levels of Makita 18V Lith-ion

White-$258 (LCT200W) OK Drill and 2.5aH batteries

Blue-$315 (LXT211) Good Drill and 3.0aH batteries

Black-$334 (LXT218) Best Drill and 3.0aH batteries

Blue and Black have the same impact divers, and both weight more than the White kit.

The LCT200W is 1.5aH batteries with a Compact Drill.
The LXT211 is the Compact Hammer Drill.
The LXT218 is their full fledged Hammer Drill.

Yes that is right, here are some good pictures too.

White Makita
Blue Makita
Black Makita

I had a spread sheet showing all the differences and part numbers but the BB does not support spreadsheet format very well.
