KOBALT 24V MAX Tools WATCH THIS BEFORE YOU BUY THEM!

KOBALT 24V MAX Tools WATCH THIS BEFORE YOU BUY THEM! In this video we show the #verycoolgang what to expect before you buy Kobalt 24V MAX tools and what to watch out for. This video should give you a good expectation of what to expect from the Kobalt tool brand and how they manufacture their tools. Recently we tested a one handed recip saw from Kobalt on #TTR or #tooltestraw and it went up in smoke, we contacted Kobalt tools about the issue and they sent out this new compact recip saw for us to test. In this video we test out the new recip saw they sent to us to see if it will fail again. The results of this video speak for themselves, Kobalt tools are reliable and strong. Let us know your thoughts on Kobalt 24V MAX tools in the comments section below and thank you for watching!

It’s weird how much I like tool reviews.

[@jasonsexton2513]

I catch myself watching reviews on tools that I will NEVER go buy. But I'll watch somebody beat the hell out of it 😉

[@rayland8553]

There’s only 1 true test. Give it to Nick if it’s still running after 10 minutes use then it’s good. If not back drawing board for Kobalt! 👍🏻

Thanks for reviewing the Kobalt line. I have a number of their tools that I'm happy with and glad to see them coming up on your reviews and tests

[@johnpostlewait4219]

So glad you did the revisit. Been using mine to cut downspouts to length for new installs going on 8 months now, even some demo work removing walls and never had any issues. I agree the foot would be nice if it articulated. I ended up putting some mole skin on the foot to keep from scratching the downs and it helped. Glad to see the XTR battery on it too.

[@tinksfawn08]

I love this tool! We disessembled a small family home and this was the tool I relied on. Got the job done and no smoke! 😊

I have the 6 tool set w/ case, love it so far. I've been doing some demo and reno in my barn, and Kobalt has done everything I've asked it to do, and while I don't actually abuse my stuff, I do expect a whole lot out of it! ...it cuts clean and quick, all the tools are strong and smooth running, batteries last a long time and charge quickly on a standard charger. I also picked up the Kobalt fan that goes with this set. Out of the box, with a fully charged 4ah battery, it ran on low for just over 49 hours. I wish they'd come out with a shop radio/charger for it, I'm not wasting my money on a bluetooth speaker just because it matches the set.

[@Keith_Mikell]

Just bought one a few months ago. Great tool. Works really good for pruning bushes and trees.

[@halvibe]

Lovin my Kobalt tools! Wasn't worried even after the first test. These are damn good tools IMHO!

So far loving my Kobalt tools. Way better than Black&Decker, Craftsman. Good for a DIY or Prosumer.

[@nosaj03]

Now I know its worth it, I need to figure out how I can convince my wife I need it. Perhaps I just buy it and paint it red so she doesn't notice it with the rest of my tools.

[@tylersmith7415]

Took a while to convince my wife I needed to upgrade my stuff.

[@NeoJSsk]

Give her massages as she wakes up for weeks and she'll even buy it for you

[@MB-gi6zg]

Just buy it don't worry about convincing. If you are fixing things around the house, you've already saved both of you more than enough to afford the new tool. BTW, I'm a wife. I love good tools so don't abuse them or you'll piss me off. No new tools from me if you don't take care of them :-)

[@michaelhorn4540]

Lol, just do what I did and buy them on the lowes card. It was all good until she saw the statement. After getting pissed, threatening to leave , and everything else, after a couple of hours she was fine and told me to keep everything as long as I paid the bill. Now I have a bunch of new kobalt and Dewalt tools and life is good

Hello VCG Vince differently retest the tool. I use the German 18V Metabo and the 12V Fuel Milwaukee very regularly. If I was just starting out as a your guy I would take Kobalt seriously as a starting set.

[@thetoolmat8632]

How about a test against another Kolbalt max and same battery ... shouldnt be much difference in cutting time but it will confirm tool temps and results

[@mariacarneglia8483]

Good job!🤙🧰👍

[@michaelhorn4540]

I absolutely love my kobalt tools and even though I have the latest Dewalt tools on the market as well, and have always been a Milwaukee fan, I think the kobalt system is the best on the market

I love Kobalt I've never had any issue with ANY of their Products

[@rexoliver7780]

Now that Kobalt one hand saw did better than the previous one.When cutting the drywall screws looked like the blade was getting dull-the sparks-you were then "friction sawing"This can be done with Do-All and Tannewitz Friction cut bandsaws that run special blades at 10,000 or 14,000FPM for cutting sheet metals,Stainless Steel and other hard steels.Now things are looking up for Kobalt machinery!Glad the one you used before that put on the smoke show was defective.I always thought these tools with breushless motors had protective circuits-act like a circuit breaker or current limiter to prevent the motor or battery from getting too hot and burning out.

[@KuyaPow626]

Question: Can ya'll show whether or not the XTR battery fits in the vacuum? I know it won't fit in the Kobalt fan, but the vacuum is another tool with a tight space and extremely high battery consumption!!!! Hahahah Vince, love how you point out how crazy the odds are that you guys tested the one lemon tool in that store. It's pretty cool to see it run through those tests but a few things made it different than the failure! The obvious one is the battery (great showing the backwards compatibility though). The other thing is that the TTR had em going at it for quite a bit longer right? So the tools were already warming up? Awesome video though guys I can't wait to see more.

[@nicholasmihalochick5431]

Really nice saw ...l agree l think if the shoe pivoted it would make for a more flexible cut in the leverage

If this doesn’t fry - I’m going to go get me one so test it to the max

Have you done any testing of the Ridgid/Ryobi multi max tool. I know one of your guys use it. I use the sawzall, oscillating saw and roto zip attachments all the time. Dremel makes a cool flex blade that is great for coping trim.

Hey guys, I have a wacky idea. It may be a bit dull, but I would like to see a "evolution of Ridgid" test. I own Gen5X, and I would like to see a head-to-head competition of all the generations of Ridgid impact drivers. Starting with the first, all the way to the latest Subcompact driver. If you pull that off, I will love you guys forever!

Wonder if the o ring thing happened to me. My multitool just smoked up and sparked too. My drill skips too and isnt as strong now. I liked the tools while they worked but damn.

Have not had a single hiccup with my Kobalt tools and I am extremely hard on tools , dropped off rooftops daily and worked hard and hot ! the only issue I have had at all was when I left a battery outside overnight, it got covered in dew moisture & it will not charge now, little pissed about that but , it's whatever. . . .

Another thing that gives kobalt an advantage is that they don't have to pay Milwaukee royalties for their batteries!

[@Aepek]

Was a beast during TTR, even though it stopped, it still was a pretty cool tool to see. That was pretty bad, that it broke & happened to you guys, lol. Also, my Milwaukee version, didn’t come with blade either (even though should have & have short story about this, but not sure can say in here). Hope to see this on another TTR😉

[@stevenmiller3137]

My recip saw has endured daily abuse for a year, cutting think wood, metal, drops, stalls, other heavy equipment resting on it. This saw keeps going and outdoes my coworkers saws as well. My problem is the fixed guard. After awhile it becomes unfixed and the top side of the blade digs in. No way to adjust it or retighten. Once it’s lose, it’s lose. Other then that I would depend on this saw as a contractors daily use tool.
