## Questions & Answers

**Q: el cargador es compatible con 220v?**
A: no

**Q: Just got this combo, it came with the dc18sd charger. the charger doesn’t seem to have an internal fan or play music, does anyone else have this probl**
A: Yes, I too was disappointed in the cheaper charger and carrying bag than previous Makita kits I've bought.

**Q: What is the difference in this and the xt269m? I want to get the best drill i can but with so many models to choose from who would know?**
A: The 269m comes with 4.0Ah battery, and the 281s comes with the 3.0Ah battery. The 4.0 will give a longer battery life between charges.

**Q: Is this also a Hammer drill, need a new drill and need to put some concrete anchors in too?**
A: No, is only a impact driver (XDT13, the short one) and driver drill (XFD13, the long one). If you want a hammer drill you will need the model XRH04 or the model XRH12 (this have a Brushless motor)
