Frequently Asked Questions
Is Kobalt worth buying over DeWalt or Milwaukee?
On specs per dollar, the KID 1324A-03 competes well. The tradeoff is a smaller ecosystem (50 vs 200+ tools), lower resale value, and Lowe's-only availability for batteries and replacements.
Who makes Kobalt tools?
Kobalt tools are manufactured by several OEMs and sold exclusively by Lowe's. The cordless line has been improving steadily since the 24V MAX launch.
