Over at pretty much every Makita retailer right now, they look to have a Father’s Day 2021 deal combo – this 18V 8-tool cordless power tool combo kit for $399, model XT801X1.

We’ve seen this particular combo kit “special buy” before – it appeared for the 2019 winter holiday shopping season and again around Black Friday 2020.

Here’s what this Makita “special buy” combo comes with:

Drill/driver (XFD10Z)
Impact driver (XDT11Z)
Circular saw (6-1/2″, XSS02Z)
Compact reciprocating saw (XRJ01Z)
5″ random orbit sander (XOB01Z)
3/8″ sub-compact impact wrench (XWT12ZB)
Blower (DUB182Z)
LED flashlight (DML815)
Rapid charger
2x 3.0Ah batteries
Tool bag

While not any of their “latest and greatest” tools, and the batteries are Makita’s lowest capacity 10-cell battery packs, I’d say this is a very good value.

The brushless subcompact impact wrench is a nice addition, and the cordless sander and blower also look to be worthwhile additions.

If you consider that $299 is the typical price point for 4- or 5-tool cordless power tool combo kits, at least promo-priced configurations, you get quite a bit here for just $100 more.

I think that this is going to be one of the better value DIYer starter tool kits, apprentice starter kits, or value-minded Pro combo kits of the Father’s Day 2021 deals season.

Right now, Acme Tools also has a 6pc Makita 18V cordless combo kit, XT614X1, for $299.

It’s similar to the 8pc combo, but with a cordless vac instead of a blower, and without the sander or impact wrench, and you also get a slower charger. But, you save $100 if you don’t need the extras of the 8-tool combo kit. There might be other subtle differences, but I think these are it.
