What is the difference between this and the Makita LXDT06? Is it just how they're packaged?

The LXDT06 is also a little bit more powerful, has a 3 bar battery indicator unlike the low battery indicator on the LXDT01. There are slight cosmetic differences and the LXDT06 is a bit smaller in the head section. Also as previous person answered it has quick shift mode. I have owned both ans still own the LXDT06 both are great guns, but the flourescent bumpers get loose and lost...

The LXDT06 is the newer model and actually will replace the LXDT01. Not sure how much the LXDT06 is improved, but they did add a "Quick Shift mode" feature. This is Makita's description of the Quick Shift mode: When you set the tool to Quick Shift mode, it starts off at the highest speed and power setting. Once the impact mechanism kicks in, signaling an increase in fastener resistance, the tool automatically shifts down to the medium speed setting for final tightening. This leads to quicker speed of application, compared to starting off at the slower medium speed setting, and still works to prevent damage to bits, fasteners, and workpieces.

I have 18 volt Makita tools so the battery was available. The 18 volt probably has more suction. I am really happy with my 18 volt unit.

The battery size is the only difference as far as I know. I have heard that the drill isn't producing the full torque it's capable of when using the smaller batteries; not sure how true it is. For household projects, you'd be fine with the standard white set that's currently amazon's deal of the day. I'd only grab the LXT version if you're dead set against the color white, and will be running it all day every day. I have the white drill and love it.

I would check with Makita but I'm sure it is the same. This charger is amazing; fastest one I've had in the 20 some years of cordless everything. Full charge in 15 minutes!

Because Makita wants you to purchase their more expensive batteries. I purchased the double pack, use these batteries and my tools on many different projects and am very satisfied with them.

I believe you have the LXT model. The LXT batteries will work on either the LXT or the "compact" models, but the compact batteries will not work on the LXT. The saw is great, but it requires the larger LXT batteries. I have both models of the 18v Makita and must watch when changing batteries. I have tried and the compacts are a no go.

I would recommend that you visit the Makita website, and learn about the latest models available.

@IcyWalt - that is baloney. I used my 1980s 1015 (?) - (the first sliding compound Makita came out with) HARD for 30 years. The new ones are made identically - the indents are not going to wear out in 3 years- I don't know what you and your crew were doing - but sounds like it wasn't taking very good care of your tools.

The kit I received contained the LXPH03 hammer drill and the LXDT04 impact driver. Hope this helps

So, I truly believe(99%) the answer is YES,

According to the website, its just different packaging. The tool is the same in either case, go with whichever is cheaper

I don't trust Makita's battery technology. I had one that failed and then they were awkward about replacing it , do I gave up. I would describe my use of the battery as normal. At the prices they charge, Mskita should be ashamed of themselves.

I bought this exact same unit in January. It uses the same battery and charger that the previous Makita drill uses. DC-18RA is on the charger and the batteries say BL1815. This is the best drill by far that I have ever owned BTW.

I'll check tomorrow nite. I have two different makita table saws and don't remember what number I bought it for.

I contacted Prazi and they are very helpful with my Makita that is not listed. I needed a special bolt that they shipped to me next day.

Quick answer-- Makita shows a hose and bag to special order in the literature you recieve in the package. JJK

Mine did not. But the price is right and this is a totally great saw! The first one I had (basically the same thing) lasted for more than twenty years. I don't think Makita has ever made a bad tool.....I have a bunch of them and have never had a real complaint. Don't worry about add-ons- just buy yourself a good saw.....and this is it.
