Kobalt Tools One bit of constructive criticism I could currently give is that it’s very frustrating to me that currently the bare tool 1/2” impact wrench is completely unavailable. I can’t give you the model # because it’s been removed from lowes.com. Anyways it’s the heavy duty one with 650 fpt. Not the smaller one with 200 fpt. I’ve been wanting one to review and can’t get one... also don’t really need/want more bags/batteries/chargers or want to pay for the package deals. 😊

Any chance Kobalt will come out with a battery powered finish or brad nailer? I'm on the platform, but hate to add another platform to the mix. Also, will Kobalt continue to be offered long term at Lowes. I'm worried about the Craftsman line now being offered. Hopefully Kobalt won't be discontinued.

LED indicator is not for battery life....it measures remaining ambition on the project :)

My wife just got me the kobalt 1/2 inch impact gun for my birthday, at first i was like omg this is gonna burn fast since i always get dewalt, but so far so good i was very impress with the gun...lets see how long it last..

As a HVAC Installer, I did my research on power tools and saw that Kobalt had a good affordable line with powerful tools. I have built my collection around these and my job is made easy with these tools. Plus hand tools and other. I have always liked Kobalt but never made the jump to power tools until I started my career. Great Brand, fair price. Great Choice.

Recently bought 3 Kobalt 24v tool. Nothing but awesome performance so far. Extremely impressed

Very pleased with this item. Keeps good readings

thanks for the review, I just went and pick up the kobalt brushless drill & impact kit with 1.5 Ah battery. I was surprised it included 2 belt clamps, 2 bit holders, and 2 bits. The bits and bit holders were a very nice touch. I lose bits all the time with my other drill and impact. This Kobalt set is now my go to tools.

Just correcting the prices. the 2AH battery is $29, and the 4AH is for $59...I was in Lowe's today. thank you for the video..was very helpful.

This is a good video and i have owned kobalt tools for the last couple of years and i just keep adding to my collection. I have not had one issue with any tool yet. I have two lights and four power tools. Planning on getting the rest in the next couple of years. Also these tools are very durable. Keep up the good work kobalt.

I love Kobalt brand myself... I owned a few of them. At one time I thought craftsman was the thing until I really looked into the power of the impacts drive. Sold and trade it in at Lowe's for the Kobalt brand. Like you said it's a store brand but holds and power as big box stores. I have an 24v 5amp battery for my 1/2 impact 650lbs and using the 4amp for the 3/8 impact. Why I love it a lot is because some name brand don't have the 3/8 impact drive but Kobalt has it and cheaper to buy and works just the same or even better

I picked the line cuz the batteries are cheap, tools are solid, Lowe's has my military discount linked to my Lowe's card, and I like blue haha. My only concern is they don't lose focus and go with more craftsman

Love these tools! They're made by Chevron, the parent company of both the SKIL (amazing durability for the price) and SKILSAW (unmatched quality) brands. I'm a Metabo HPT (formerly Hitach) guy but I have tools from every company out there. Some of these Kobalts are definitely every bit as good as their Dewalt and Metabo HPT counterparts. I'd take them over Ridgid any day.

Thank you Great video ended up going Kobalt vs Craftsman with my 1/2 impact because of it.

Milwaukee and DeWALT use Samsung 18650s. Kobalt uses lower quality LG 18650s. That's why their battery packs are cheaper. Also, as you mentioned, anything goes wrong; just take the tool back to Lowe's. Have read numerous reports of Kobalt tools that simply quit working out of nowhere. Okay, normally not an issue. But one acquaintance bought two Kobalt tire inflators. Put them in each car. Year later, he went to check on them. Both didn't work. Thinking it was their batteries, he grabbed another battery that was fully charged. Still nothing. Imagine getting a flat tire, pulling out one of those Kobalt inflators.... and you get nothing. Hopefully you're not on some isolated back country road. A great warranty isn't always so great.

谢谢 Ozarks 🙏😁

This video was part of my decision to start my power tool collection with Kobalt. They seem to really be a quality brand these days even if they aren't priced like it. I get some chuckles from other workers on the job, but less than when I was using my boss's dinosauric 18V DeWalt stuff.

Milwaukee managed to patent the 18v system in a way that anyone with an 18V system has to pay them a royalty. So glad Kobalt is 24V Max (22v under load) Price comparison as of Sep 2020. (standard price, not sales prices) A 2 Ah 24v Kobalt battery is $29. A Dewalt 20V Max (18v) 2Ah battery is $75 ($150 for a pack of 2) A Milwuakee 18v 2.0 Ah battery is $59 A Makita 18V 2 Ah battery is $79 A Metabo / Hitachi 18v 2 Ah battery is $89 A Craftsman or Bosch 18v 2.0 Ah battery is $49

I will say this, Kobalt makes a great quality product that is serious as far as performance and quality and for a great value. I run metabo and hitachi along with some Dewalt but I would recommend the Kobalt line to anyone any day! I really hope they keep throwing attention to it, and don’t let it die do to the new Stanley Craftsman stuff entering the scene.

I am blown away by Kobalt's 80v cordless chainsaw! cuts almost as good as a gas saw but it is so quiet, you don't have to wear muffs and you have so much better situational awareness without the loud gas motor. Batteries charge up in 20 mins so i have one on standby charging in my shed and hot swap when i need to and i can cut all day with it.

How often do you have to change batteries? Seems with my gas Ryobi I have to stop every 15 minutes for gas and b&c oil so even if the cordless did 7½ minutes I'd be impressed.

My sister just got into the kobalt line. Initially, I was somewhat disappointed. I am a ridgid user. But, after seeing more and more videos on the kobalt line, I am somewhat happy for her. I will say though, as far as rigid is concerned, if you walk into a store and try to warranty it out, and they simply do an over-the-counter replacement, which they should not do, you have just lost your warranty, your lifetime warranty on that battery. You need to contact ridgid and find an authorized repair center for it to be determined that indeed the battery and or tool is bad.

I have the Kobalt lawn mower that takes 2x 24v 4.0Ah batteries. I find it amazing that I can use the same batteries to do literally everything a powertool can do. I even charge them off solar power, so I can cut my lawn with the same sun power that grows it. Higher voltage means no torque sag in anything, and lesser heat and wear on the batteries.

I once had few Kobalt 24V tools, and I think they are good. But for those who might think to buy this line, here is one advice. Do NOT buy the drill and the impact driver separately. Buy the combo kit. Combo kit price is not bad. But they are not available as bare tools, so the only option to buy the other is as a kit and those kit prices are not cheap. At the end, buying two separate kits will cost about $100 more than the combo kit with additional 2Ah battery.

I wish I had a Lowe’s closer to me but they’re all pretty far away. Especially when I literally have a Home Depot less then 10 min away. I’ve heard good things about kobalt. Didn’t know the batteries were that cheap. A lot of the reviewers that get kobalt tools are pretty happy with them. I ended up buying Ryobi tools over 12 years ago and they’ve been great for me. I recently upgraded from my old blue tools to the new brushless stuff and it’s a huge jump in power and run time and quality. What I really like about Ryobi is they’re committed to the stem style battery. And haven’t changed it. And the price of the tools. They’re a fantastic value. Batteries are reasonably priced. Especially if you catch a sale. I used to be a ridgid fan before getting my Ryobi stuff. I had used some ridgid cordless power tools. I really liked them. So I bought some corded stuff. Then had issues with getting it warranted and decided the lifetime service agreement wasn’t worth it if the company won’t stand behind it.

The only things I have from Kobalts are some screwdrivers and a 124 piece socket set. I've had them over five years and they're just as robust and durable as they were new.

Hey Ozarks, How are u! Please allow me to ask question about your Kobalt combo tools. How are they doing now? Kindly give little feedback. Coz planning to buy for my Dad. Thank you very much, Teboy

The electronics inside the battery is actually a good thing. It ensures that each cell is not overcharged or over-drained which will permanently damage the battery and also prevent from it bursting into flames. People need to keep in mind that Lithium ion batteries need to be charged at least once every 3 months while in storage. I tend to forget stuff like this and my batteries end up dead or damaged.

Best bang for your buck, cost per amp/hour would be the 1.5aH for $10 vs 1aH for $10 in the 2aH battery?

I’ve been thinking about buying a set of Kobalt power tools but lately it looks like Lowe’s tool dept is being taken over by Craftsman... what do you think? Lately I haven’t been too happy with the new Craftsman tools

My four amp hour battery for my combo kit only fits in my circular saw and my flashlights, it will not fit in anything else and I don't like to force anything can you tell me what the problem is, I purchased this six tool kit for half the usual price at Lowe's and I can tell everything in the box is brand new and has never been used.

I bought a 4hr battery yesterday and it cost $59.99 at Lowes in Waynesboro, Pa.

1/2 impact drill(650Fps), 4h battery, rapid charger, second 6ah battery, tire inflator = cost of a bare tool from the big 3.

Love Kobalt tools.

I purchased the Kobalt tools over a year ago and have used them daily since. Quality, battery price was high on the list and very good warranty. I have most of the tools plus a blower and string trimmer, now I hope they will come out with a nailer.

Yeah I came to much the same conclusion you did but I ended up with the green tools from home depot. Pretty much the same deal. Great batteries. Great brush-less motors. The full sized impact wrench puts out 700 pounds of torque. Tire rotation is now quick and effortless. The green tools now have an option of 6AH batteries that are two for 120 or 60 each. I really like rechargeable tools They go where I go and generally when I am out around the farm I don't have power unless I want to drag out the generator etc...

Renaissance Nerd They just released this the vacuum, compound miter saw, 6.0 battery, and soon the 9.0 amp hour battery. They can have craftsman and Kobalt... just like HD carries Rigid and Ryob, both are brands fairly exclusive to their stores.

I have no issues with Kobalt cordless tools but went with Ridgid for the lifetime service agreement to get the service agreement set up you have to register your tools sometimes they have trouble verifying the tools and send email saying you need to mail receipt all I did is call them and while on the phone email a screenshot of my online order receipt had it registered in 5 minutes you don't bring your tools to home Depot take them to a certified Ridgid repair center there are several near me. The lifetime warranty is for the life of the tool not the life of the person purchasing the tool I'm just a DIY guy so my tools should be under warranty the rest of my life seeing I'm over 50 years old and don't put that much wear and tear on my tools but If I used my tools on a daily basis I would probably go with Milwaukee. I think the Ridgid warranty is designed for DIY person because if you run your tools every day Ridgid will probably determine that you got your life out of them in 5 or so years it's all about each person's individual needs what works for one may not work for all I would just hate to buy a tool use it very little then go to use it one day it doesn't work and is past the warranty period with the batteries it's not very long 1 to maybe 3 years Ridgid covers batteries also.

Its not just the cells your paying for, but the whole technology the way those cells communicate with the tool, milwaukee red link is the best

I too have just about everything kobalt...but have recently been wondering if i should keep investing in Kobalt now that I walk into Lowes and see nothing but Craftsman. Do you think Lowes will now use Craftsman as their main product and quickly push out Kobalt? I love my Kobalt tools but if they're going to become obsolete then why keep buying them?

I like my tools in Red to be exact m18!!!

I wish he would have mentioned they are giving away a free blower or saw etc with 2 of the 4 amp batteries and charger for 129.00. They run this special every spring.

I hope Kobolt sticks around because I’m going to buy that 1/2 inch compact impact wrench tomorrow instead of the new rigid??

Kobalt has repeatedly stated that the Kobalt 24v line of power tools isn't going anywhere... infact they've release 4 new products to the line in the last few months.

Any Lowes store, it’s their brand.

How have they been holding up since this video was made?

Excellent used pretty regularly around those on maintenance and remodeling projects.

They also make flex and skill

Cool

My kobalt 24 volt drill ,I have to slide battery out and back in to get it to work everytime

But bet kolbolt is a great tool system as well

Just went to Lowes today for a Kobalt warranty issue. Looks like Craftsman is taking over. The store could not order or stock a replacement.. was able to get a store credit.. would not buy any Kobalt anymore.. tool only as good as its warranty..😕

John W Not sure what’s up with that John, but according to Kobalt tools, and Chervon (the manufacturer of the tools for Kobalt) that is incorrect and should not be happening.

OzarksTactical Homesteading ...try to get a 24" 1/2 drive kobalt ratchet warranty? They gave me a in store credit.. crapsman ratchets are strong but notice the sockets always fall off the drive..the kobalt ratchet drive was great! But broke at the swivel head.. weak point.

John W Ah... I hear ya. Although Kobalt’s power tools and hand tools aren’t made by the same company either though. Much like throughout Craftsman’s history, they never made their own tools and it varied but what type of tool who made it for them. Personally, I can’t see Lowe’s ditching their brand; Kobalt.

Yeah they are now 30 for a 2 amp hour battery

Kobalts batteries are different to the other power tool battery cause it has 6 cells instead of 5
