Frequently Asked Questions
How does Kobalt compare to Ryobi for impact wrenches?
More torque (400 vs 300 ft-lbs), slightly higher price. The 24V platform gives it a voltage advantage. Both are weekend-warrior tools. Choose based on where you shop: Lowe's for Kobalt, Home Depot for Ryobi.
Can I buy Kobalt tools outside of Lowe's?
No. Kobalt is a Lowe's house brand. Tools, batteries, and warranty service all go through Lowe's. This is a drawback if you don't have a Lowe's nearby.
