I was at Lowes today looking at Kobalt power tools when one of the store employees told me they had a new combo out that wasnt even on display yet. Kobalt XTR 24v brushless.. after he went and found it for me i bought it... it comes with 5 power tools. 4 ah and 2 ah batteries, charger and a heavy duty hard plastic tote with wheels and a extendable handle... the tools are 1/2" hammer drill, 1/4" impact driver, reciprocating saw, 7.25" circular saw and a work light..price was $399

Im highly impressed with Kobalt's 24v line, i hope they keep innovating and releasing more stuff constantly, i have several of there 24v products and i can say they are nice for the price. I've dropped a 24v Kobalt Impact Driver off a 2nd story roof onto concrete and it survived with the battery still in with no problems, other than a scratch on it.

That battery on the Kobalt 24v uses the new 21700 cells in the battery, 6 slightly larger cells instead of the 12, 18650 cells some other batteries use. The reason the battery is a little longer and wider, but not quite so tall. Only 1 single row of 6 batteries.

I have basically all the kobalt 24v tool and I use the impact wrenches daily all day what I find so funny is I have two coworkers who have Milwaukee and have been problems with big time trigger delay so while they have to wait on Warranty claim from the tow truck they come and have to borrow my kobalt to finish the job haha

When using large fasteners... That's why they give you a handle... Drill drivers are wrist breakers. Lol

What is obvious is that the PC drill does not have the torque of the Kobalt at the same speed. Here's the intended niches for the brands Lowes sells. Crafgtsman- direct competitor to Ryobi. The 24v max brushless line is a small step up from Craftsman, and depending on the tool, on a par or slightly better than Bosch. It's meant to compete against Ryobi one+ The XTR is a prosumer / pro level tool that in some tests has been on a par with DeWalt. It's meant to compete directly with Rigid, and although still losing, in some performance tests has given Milwaukee tools a run for their money. It's price point is great for beginners in the trades (especially with the battery cost). Then there's Metabo- the direct competitor to Milwaukee in performance So, the only thing that might go away is the 24v Max line in the future once the XTR line has more variety. But I don't see it. I have the 1/4" and 3/8" impact drivers as with what I do at work which is low volume, they are just fine. The lower cost made them attractive. However, I need the extra performance and torque the XTR hammer drill gives, and for my RV the 24v Max 1/2" driver does not have the tightening torque I need for the lug nuts, but the XTR does (Lugs need to be tightened to 450 ft lbs). I could actually change a tire on the RV with the XTR 1/2" inch. So I may turn out to be wrong, but I think they may keep both lines in the future.

Can’t wait till these hit my stores. And of course watch #VCGconstruction #TTR compare them against other power tools.
