@@ww321 do you use it professionally or just here and there for diy work? Im trying to decide between this and the milwaukee mid torque. $149 kit vs $300 kit. Its hard to walk away from that kobalt deal

Good tool. It certainly helped me take off the rusty leaf springs on my boat trailer. Copious amounts of PB Blaster, Heat, 4'' Angle Grinder, Sawzall, and a 2lb Hammer helped too. The rusty fasteners were put on 21 years ago. Well worth the money. Go ahead and pick up an extra battery while you are at Lowe’s.

Kobalt is so underrated. Right there with Metabo HPT in being under respected. Both make fantastic tools. And in Kobalt Land, the batteries are a steal. They manage to pack in an extra 6th cell of the same Samsung cells and price them cheaper than anyone else. Something else to consider, all of their batteries are cased in a GF20/30 Case, as opposed to a PC-ABS case like everyone else. Dewalt & Milwaukee recently have released their "Oil Resistant" batteries and both charge a premium for this option that Kobalt includes on all their batteries. This is a nice looking Middie. If I didn't already have that Metabo HPT, I'd be looking at this hard. But "GO GREEN" for me ;)

@@Jeff-rk8hq only that they're both totally under rated. They don't pull views on YT like Red or yellow do, so they don't get talked about. I own more MetaboHPT than any other brand. But I like KOBALT tools as well.

This video helped me make up my mind. I got this one at Lowe’s a few weeks ago and finally got to use it to change the rear struts on my wife’s SUV. Wow! I’ve never used an impact wrench, so this is just one experience with one tool, but WOW! I couldn’t have gotten this job done without it! Such a powerful tool for $150! I think the sale ends Jan 25th 2024, so there is still time if you want a great deal!

still at 149, seems to be the price they keep it at.

Just bought this one the KIW 4024A-03 kit on the Lowes sale, only $149 now until July 24th ($80 off). This will be replacing my weak little Ryobi P261 that I keep in the trunk for emergencies.

I just picked one up at Lowe’s. It was originally $199.99 and on sale for $149.99. It’s box was dented on the battery/charger side and was marked down to $120. I took it to the store manager and said I have been eyeing it since right after Black Friday. Was concerned about the box, so he said how about $100? Merry Christmas to me. $99.99 is the sale price for the 1/4” impact wrench.

On the Cobalt where you was trying to take it off the tractor with setting that you have it on you didn't mention it

Is this item still listed at $300+ and will it work on a power steer pump pulley ?

I’d like to see him tackle that bolt with a UO battery I’m sure it can break away 350 ftlbs 21700 cells I think it could do it

Awesome video Brian. I think kobalt is a good brand. But I am still waiting to get my hands on that metabo

That one you have is rated at 150 ft lbs. You are giving specs on the bigger 1/2 in impact. This is the compact version. I have the bigger one and it is a beast, actually got ran over by a 2500hd with a loaded utility bed and I still use it to this day.

Has anyone used this on a regular basis? Is it any good? It has a good warranty, and I’m debating between a few of the mid torque impact wrenches. The Metabo and Makita are quite a bit more expensive.

Thank you so much for this video متشکرم

It’s a very good solid first effort by Kobalt. Beating the Milwaukee and coming behind the second and third place Makita and Metabo is an awesome feat! This is meant to compete against the Ridgid and Ryobi p262 and I think it crushed those guys!

What’s your thoughts on this item vs the dewalt DCF921? Both on sale right now. All my other tools are dewalt 20v so would be nice to stay in the eco system but I work on my personal and family cars. Afraid the 921 won’t have the beans. Afraid the kobalt won’t fit into the tight places. I don’t do enough to buy both. I’m torn

Torque test channel clocked it at under 700ft lbs, I believe. Milwuakee slightly higher, and flex above them both. I use mine as much as a DIYer can, and it's OK for the price. Cheaper polymer, pretty proprietary battery platform.

I have the XTR line of tools but the non xtr seem weak to me.

I have had two of the non XTR impacts for years and use them daily on equipment. A coworker had the XTR brand new and I tried them both side by side and couldn't really tell the difference in power. The XTR drill seems better than the regular one, though as I have two broken ones and just purchased the XTR.

Looks like it took the place of their older impact that was rather large

“Hand Tight” setting does not mean it tightens it hand tight, if you read the manual, it says this mode is so you can finish torque it by hand…

So I don't see why it wouldn't release a 350ft lbs bolt my Milwaukee gen 3 Impact driver can do more than that.

definitely not. This tool is a mid torque right there with the 2962-20. The bolt had already stretched making the torque specs inaccurate. By the time he switched to the Metabo HPT, he had already applied over 400 ft/lbs with the Kobalt, making it much easier for the later tool to pull it off
