Kobalt doesn't make a dedicated right-angle drill on the 24V MAX platform. This is a niche tool category, and Lowe's house brand focuses on the core tool types that sell in volume. If you need a right-angle drill and shop at Lowe's, the Craftsman V20 right-angle attachment is a low-cost workaround, or step up to a dedicated tool from Milwaukee or DeWalt.
Kobalt 24V MAX Platform
The adapter works with any Kobalt 24V drill or impact driver via the 1/4-inch hex shank. Performance is limited by the adapter's mechanical design, not the drill's power.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will Kobalt make a dedicated right-angle drill?
No announcements as of early 2026. Right-angle drills are trade-focused tools with lower retail volume. Kobalt's 24V MAX line targets homeowners and DIYers where a dedicated right-angle drill doesn't sell enough units to justify the tooling cost.
What should I buy instead?
For occasional tight-space drilling, the Kobalt right-angle adapter works for small holes. For serious boring work, buy a Milwaukee 2807-20 or DeWalt DCD740 and a battery kit. The investment in a second platform is worth it if you regularly work in tight framing spaces.
