Kobalt 24V Max XTR cordless power tools make up the company’s most powerful line of Kobalt tools yet. They boast up to 50% better performance and add more DIY/Pro-focused features. They also present a great value and stay backward-compatible with all 24V Max batteries.
These 24V Max XTR tools include a drill/driver, a hammer drill, a 1/4-in. impact driver, a reciprocating saw, a 7-1/4-in. circular saw, a 1/2-in. impact wrench, and a couple of combo kits. You’ll find the new additions to the platform at your local Lowe’s hardware store or online.

Kobalt KXDD 1424A-03 24V Max Drill Driver Kit
The brushless motor on this XTR Drill Driver delivers up to 1,200 in-lbs of torque to the job at hand. It features a compact design to let you work in tighter spaces. It has a two-speed gearbox to let you select between low (0-550 rpm) and high (0-2,000 rpm) settings.
Because of the impressive amount of torque, Kobalt added anti-kickback technology to the XTR drill/driver. This shuts down the tool when it senses sudden bind-ups, keeping your arms safe from what could likely be a terrible wrenching. We first saw this in flagship Bosch drills some years ago. This technology has yet to make its way into several Pro brands. Kobalt really seems to be aggressively targeting tradesmen with these new tools.
