Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Kobalt sander as good as DeWalt?
On paper, the specs overlap. In practice, the DeWalt DCW210 has slightly better dust collection and a bigger aftermarket for accessories. The Kobalt costs $30 less, which matters if you're sanding a few times a year.
Can I buy Kobalt batteries anywhere besides Lowe's?
No. Kobalt 24V batteries are Lowe's exclusives. You'll find some on eBay and Amazon from third-party sellers, but warranty claims go through Lowe's.
