Kobalt 1/2-in 24-Volt Max-Volt Lithium Ion (Li-ion) Variable Speed Brushless Cordless Hammer Drill Bare Tool Only (Tool Only, Model #kdd524b-03)

This seems to be a great drill for general use around the house. You will need to have the compatible Kobalt battery which is not included and is a bit pricey. I already have 3 garden tools that use Kobalt battery packs, so this seemed like the logical choice when my old drill died. It's a bit on the heavy side, like all cordless drills. It uses standard drill bits (not included).

I've used the drill several times and it worked great. I like Kobalt tools because of being able to use the same battery on all of their tools. However, in this case, the drill developed a bad "grinding" noise while using. Research indicates bad gear box or bearings. I've tried contacting Kobalt support by email by the email was returned as undeliverable. I have no idea what caused that yet. Occasionally, a defective tool can be purchased. This was my occasion. This will not stop me from buy or recommending Kobalt tools.

I never write reviews, but this thing is an exceptional product. I've had this drill for over 5 years, have used it on probably over 100 separate occasions for various projects, and I have never charged it. Seriously, not once. It's insane, but the thing is still going strong. It almost makes me wonder if its battery is some advanced alien technology. It's super portable and strong and has tons of settings. And its battery NEVER DIES. So yeah that's my first ever product review. Good job Kobalt!

I bought specifically to install a wooden fence and install approximately 600-1000 outdoor deck screws. Also used for only a few other tasks. Chuck torque setting keeps stripping as if it was not set in drill mode. Luckily I had a similar model where I could repair this myself with old used parts. I buy a lot of Kobalt cordless but this one may have been a used return and/or poorly refurbished.

Replaced my 4 yr old one that was overheating while drilling metal. New one is great. 4 yr opd batteries still going strong

Just used it today. Made it into concrete easily. Great product.

(Didn't come with battery or any other items the items in picture I've already had) But I received it today wrapped in bubble wrap and the box torn up so maybe better packaging but other then that it looks brand new and works. Maybe put in description used or refurbished. Also think it little over priced i could be wrong. But other then that it im happy with it. Thanks

It was a gift & he seams to be happy
