KOBALT NEXT GENERATION! 6 NEW Kobalt 24V Brushless Tools Now Available at Lowes

[@WTF_BBQ]

Kobalt already has powerful tools like these ones. What they need are more different or unique types like water pumps, vacuums, mini hand held chain saws..... something like that. Milwaukee released their Nibbler tool which was something i've never seen before. Kobalt should do the same.

[@ProxyFinal]

These are a step up from the older models. More compact and in ways better than the xtr

[@ajgreen868]

Exactly what I’m thinking. They need to expan that XTR line. It’s like they just ignore it!

[@christiansantos8904]

The nibbler has BEEN out, I mean Hilti has one

[@Shoptoolreviews]

We're hoping to see some more expansion in that 24v line as well. Thanks for watching.

[@kowboy83ra]

@@sebastiantran1266 That's really the only reason DeWalt and Milwaukee are technically better buys. They each have over 300 tools for their lines. I have about 20 Kobalt 24v battery tools, and on my job it seems that my Kobalts outperform my coworkers who own Milwaukee or DeWalt. The batteries also outlast theirs. Being that my trade requires tools that the Kobalt line doesn't have, I had to break down recently and buy some Milwaukee tools recently, and it kinda bummed me out because Kobalt could easily make a superior tool, in my opinion anyway. Their tools are top notch and I wouldn't trade them for Milwaukee or DeWalt or Makita or whatever.

[@jasonhull2163]

I have to admit I use Makita because they have lasted longer than other commercial brands. However I tried a few of these tools out a while back. My friend at work was pulling lug nuts on a 1 ton service truck. The tool was fantastic and I tried the previous gen model. People mistake the quality of Kobalt. Honestly they are geared to be more high end performance than you think. The newer tools don't feel like super cheap plastic no more. I think I will buy one because I want to really test it out. I doubt it will pull lug nuts off a semi truck but it could be good for under carriage work, pulling clutches etc. I've had the Makita 5 years and it still works, so buying this is justified.

[@Shoptoolreviews]

We will be releasing the Impact Wrench review today, so you may want to check that out. Thanks for watching.

[@peterhamilton7218]

Happy to see these redesigned tools in the hands of a reputable reviewer. I've been seeing these redesigned tools at my local Lowe's for the last month or so, needless to say I've been impatiently waiting for this review.

[@Shoptoolreviews]

Thanks for that. We'll be doing more in depth reviews on them, starting with the impact wrench today. Thanks for watching.

[@swensdawg]

Forget the standard line, I want them to come out with the XTR version of a mid torque and some kind of stubby 3/8 impact.

[@Shoptoolreviews]

We would love to see a stubby or compact with good torque numbers. They definitely have a beast with their Right Angle Impact Wrench. Thanks for watching.

[@swensdawg]

@@Shoptoolreviews You are right, I have the 3/8 right angle and it does well. As always, great content!

[@ProxyFinal]

Finally. I have been buying these tools like crazy but no one is talking about it until now. That circular saw is going to surprise many. The motor in that saw is very efficient. I bet TTC can’t wait to test the mid torque

[@Shoptoolreviews]

Thanks for watching.

[@aliettienne2907]

I like the quick dept adjustment features on this kobalt circular saw. Kobalt tools really seems to be very sturdy.

[@Shoptoolreviews]

[@JakePlisskin12]

I have mostly milwaukee, ingersoll rand. And I love my kobalts. Good priced tools cheap battery's and tons of power

[@JakePlisskin12]

To be completely honest I absolutely love kobalt tools. I keep wanting to stop buying them because they are a " home owner" brand but they are powerful, durable, reliable and the battery's are cheap as well has good tool price. I have milwaukee, ingersoll rand and makita power tools. (Like a ton of them) and it's hard to not love kobalt tools also.

[@Shoptoolreviews]

Kobalt power tools have definitely stepped up their game. They're now being manufactured by a high-end company, so that makes a big difference. It's definitely hard to beat the price and performance you get with them. Thanks for watching.

[@stephengrinaker5085]

I actually use DeWalt and Kobalt for my business needs. I have a driver that has done 10,000+ screws easily... they are actually holding up just as well as the other brands for me so I will keep buying

[@MarzNet256]

Hello friends. As an added layer of safety I always remove battery from cordless tools before changing blades/bits. Also, engage trigger safety lock if there is one. Yeah, it can be a pain, but so can hurting yourself.

[@BlindMansRevenge2002]

That is a really nice set of guns and cutters! Got my dad into this line years ago.

[@sparks2429]

What ever happened to the XTR line? I was ready to dive headfirst into that but they never released anything else for it

[@JimDoubleYa]

They're in the process of releasing a XTR Brad Nailer

[@Shoptoolreviews]

@Jim_W actually, I think it's the XTR 23GA pin nailer with 8.0Ah battery kit. NOT!

[@Shoptoolreviews]

I'm not sure and we're wondering ourselves. We'll try to get an answer to this. Thanks for watching.

[@craigphillips3154]

Kobalt is produced by Chervon (Skil, Flex, Ego). The #1 problem that I see for all of these, except for maybe Flex, is that they haven't really expanded any of these lines in the last year or so. They've come out with new tools for each, but just new tools in the same categories that are already occupied. Meanwhile, Milwaukee, Ryobi, Craftsman, etc are all expanding into new categories. Coming out with another new impact or drill or circular saw is great IF you don't already own a tool in that category. It does very little to entice your existing customer base to come out with a 4th different drill driver if they already bought an older model a year or so ago. I bought into Ego and Skil (20v) about 3 years ago. I like the tools I have a lot. I would love to have a yard sprayer or a trim router or a dethatcher. Those tools don't exist under those 2 platforms. But if I ever need another circular saw or push mower, I've got plenty of choices. But, if I switch over to Ryobi's 18v lineup, I can find almost every category of tool I want. The same can pretty much be said for Craftsman and Milwaukee. I'll stick with my Ego tools. What I have are great. But I'm not that far into the Skil lineup and I've already bought a Ryobi sprayer. I may well hand over my Skil drill, impact, and circular saw to my son and go with Ryobi going forward. I don't want to have more than 2 battery platforms and there's too much missing under Skil.

[@rustytools4643]

Kobalt has a trim router and lawn sprayer already...

[@craigphillips3154]

@@rustytools4643 Yes. I'm aware of that. Skil and Ego (the battery lines I already have) do not. I guess I should have been more clear. I looked at the Kobalt line. I almost went that direction. But the Ryobi lineup is still much more inclusive than Kobalt. And as a DIY homeowner, i can live with any feature/performance loss going with Ryobi over something like Milwaukee or DeWalt.

[@rickeymh]

So, I am assuming Lowe's has given up the Kobalt XTR line? Appears their Flex line is replacing it?

[@craigbeles7435]

So curious as to how it compares to the xtr line? A buddy of mine was talking about starting to stock up on kobalt tools. I said there is a new generation of tools out but are they better then the xtr line... I am not sure.

[@matersworkshop6123]

[@ReefMimic]

10:09 ooooo nice chuck!

[@testflight9855]

I’ve been buying Kobalt for years. Love the tools hate the warranty. They say 5 years but when you go to get a tool replaced it’s almost impossible. I had a multi toll that quit working after only a year. Spent a week getting the run around. Lucky my wife who bought me the tool recommended she bought the extended warranty. Still had to go to three different stores but was then told on order to replace it I needed the stuff that came with the tool. I responded all accessories are there. They responded what about the blades that came with the tool? What??? You want me to have the blades that came in the box from a year ago? I finally suggested giving me the tool and they keep the new blades that were in the box. And they finally agreed to that. I still like their tools and buy some when they have a ridiculous sale price but buy it knowing I’ll probably just have to trow it away.

[@gf2e]

All the parts? That’s ridiculous. You’re not asking for a refund. They decided to replace it instead of repairing it, that shouldn’t add extra rules for you. I actually had the opposite experience a couple months back. I’d bought a charger and two battery kit. One of the batteries was DOA. I brought the battery in to ask for a replacement. They said they could only do a refund. They took my battery and gave me a refund of the entire kit.

[@Shoptoolreviews]

To be absolutely frank, much of the warranty nightmares many times start with the local store. If a store manager handles it correctly, this can be a seamless process. At the same time, we're well aware of the nightmare stories out there, and that's sad. The best we know, Kobalt stands behind their tool warranty, but we definitely want to know when they don't. Thanks for watching and sharing.

[@jonstuff]

Mine has a lot of battery movement/slop. How's yours?

[@EatCampShootRide]

These are almost identical to their previous gen brushless tools that i already own. Those have been fantastic tools but what have they done new?

[@bigotonbrand]

kobalt fams finally got the nail gun, augers, humidity and mold detectors, jumper cables, pancake compressor...good job kobalt

[@johns9888]

Is there an easy way to id them vs the existing? I guess the control pad and ? When will they be in stores? My biggest problem with Kobalt and Flex has been some tools only in kits. How many chargers does a guy need !!

[@mt1885]

Did KOBALT redesign their 3/8 IMPACT as well ?

[@PaganWizard]

5:00 If they offered a 7 1/4 inch version of this saw, with the blade on the same side as this one, I'd buy it in less than a heartbeat. I have the KXCS 124B-03 24-Volt XTR saw, and like it, but the blade is on the right side of the motor, and I simply do not like that, it makes it very difficult for right handed people like myself, to see the blade, and have better control over where it goes. I remember a couple years ago, Kobalt claimed that they were going to really ramp up their development and release of more and more different tools, in an effort to go toe to toe with Ryobi. That never happened, and I'm pretty disappointed about it.

[@idontwantcorporateretaliat6301]

difference between these and the old and xtr lineup?

[@daveb7204]

Any inside scoops on whether they plan to add to the XTR line or not?

[@daveclark8337]

If you don't need the latest and greatest model, my local Lowes stores have the older Kobalt 1/2" drive BL impact wrench kit on clearance for $143, YMMV. It's the Model #KIW 1524A-03 with 650 ft/lbs of breakaway torque, comes with a 4 Ah battery, charger and bag.

[@wolfhound1a]

Did they put out a new mid-range impact wrench? The old style is just stupid big! Waiting for a re-design on the mid-torque.

[@tangoindiamike9189]

Kobalt offers a Guarantee, NOT a Warranty. What's the difference? A warranty is for repairs. A Guarantee is for replacement. The box says 3 year battery and 5 year tool Guarantee. When I went to Lowe's to return a kit that had a problem, they initially said I would have to contact Kobalt for the warranty repair. I told them, "the box says 5 year guarantee, NOT Warranty. A Guarantee is for replacement and Warranty is for repair. I want you to honor the Guarantee". They told me to grab a new kit from the shelf. Whenever you buy a kit, if one tool goes bad, you have to return the whole kit, and they replace it with a whole new kit. Mostly, I wanted to comment about the Guarantee, because EVERY KZbin reviewer says they have a 5 year Warranty, while pointing at the word "Gurantee" on the box.

[@mt1885]

Wish I would have bought this instead of the Dewalt

[@tigercat8905]

Does the 2.0 battery say extended run? If so, then those are new too. The first 4.0 extended run looks funny, but the one on the mid torque 4.0 looks like the old style but says extended run.

[@Shoptoolreviews]

No, the 2.0 does not say Ext Run. The 4.0 Ext Run are the same, but they may make some styling changes. Thanks for watching.

I think kobalt needs to expand their line rather than rehash the same tools over and over again

[@Shoptoolreviews]

I think we may see that happen soon. Thanks for watching.

[@ErikAsquith]

Why do some tool companies produce and offer both drill/drivers and hammer drill/drivers? Normally the drill/driver will cost a bit less, it weigh a bit less, and be a bit shorter from tip to tail. The hammer drill/driver equivalent will typically cost a bit more, weight a bit more, and be a bit longer from tip to tail. Assuming there was no cost difference between a equivalent drill/driver and hammer drill/driver, are folks that have no need for a hammer drill, or have a dedicated hammer drill purchasing the drill/driver variant just to save a bit of weight and length? Or am I overlooking some other benefits to getting a drill/driver over a hammer drill/driver?

[@Shoptoolreviews]

The Hammer Drill is typically $10-$50 more than the regular, so some people probably want that savings. I think most of the tool manufacturers have figured out how to incorporate the hammer feature without having to lengthen or broaden the body. Either that, or they just want to have one mould to build both. Thanks for watching.

[@kyleenderle6538]

Thumbs down because none of the tools were used. Lol kidding. But for real Kobalt's 24 volt platform was pretty impressive from the beginning. The innovation with the adjustment on the circ saw and the use of brushless batteries may just put these guys up there in performance closer to pro level. Right now on my personal chart they sit just above Ridgid. Kobalt needs more tools in their arsenal if they want to compete with the big boys though. A vacuum, 7 1/4 inch saws, lights, maybe go dual battery and make miter saws and table saws. Kobalt would be on par with the new kid on the block, Flex and be direct competitors if their 24 volt system can keep up with team grey.

[@tiancheung5348]
