anyone use a kobalt 24v drill with their auger?

[rena0040]

i was looking at these in lowes. 24v, brushless, 4ah battery making 1200inch/pounds. Was thinking of picking one up for a dedicated auger drill.

anyone use on or any kobalt tool for that matter?

You have me curious now cuz its a pretty decent price.

[rena0040]

and only $70 for a second 4ah battery

That’s the same torque the Milwaukee has

Now I'm curious if the extra torque makes that much of a difference at that price point. I paid the same price for an 800 in/lb Ridgid drill with a 4ah battery and charger. I was sold on the Ridgid warranty but $70 batteries change that argument too.

Yes i picked one up last dec to attach to the strikemaster auger, was impressive 6-7 seconds to drill 13-14" of ice. Price was alot higher then.

Very interesting, thanks for posting...

Been looking at DeWalt but I'm starting to wonder if you are overpaying for the brand name with them...

I wonder how that would handle a 10" auger?

8th review on the Lowes Website suggests it may work just fine.

Used on Ice Auger
I have been using my Kobalt 24v drill for tha last 3 months now. Its coupled with a clam plate and laser auger bottom - 8". Plenty of torque and cuts holes fast. I can drill 30+ holes in 18" thick ice on a 4 amp battery. Works just as good as my friends k-drill mated with a Milwaukee drill.

Powerful, long lasting
I bought this to use as one normally would a drill driver, but also to power a 6 inch ice auger for ice fishing. I started with a new battery and over three Saturdays drilled over 60 holes in 12 to 15 inch ice. Still had one bar left on the 4 ah battery that came in the kit. It takes about 6 seconds to go through 15 inches of ice with this drill and my auger. Looking forward to using in on a remodel/building project this spring. Really nice tool. In addition, the integral brake saved a broken finger when I did something stupid.

also a video!

thanks for the heads up. Just picked one up on sale at Lowes . I purchased the 2 tool Hammer drill Set on sale for $139. down from reg price $279.
24V Max brushless . with 4Ah battery and charger.

5 year is a nice warranty. For that price hard to go wrong.

The drill in that set is only 650 in-lbs, not the 1200 in-lb unit in the OP. But damn at that price I'd give it a go too lol.

[timsesink]

A deal-killer for me would be the lack of a side support handle.

Tried the kobalt 24v 4ah hammer drill.

I will admit its a little frustrating. I did make it work without rest. So that was a part of the issue.

I think it will work as a bang for the buck. 4ah is a little small. They do have 6 and 8ah batteries out but for some reason its only available in the states.

Video coming soon.
