Our take on the Kobalt 24V 1/2" Keyless Brushless Cordless Drill With Battery, Charger & Bag

The Kobalt 24V brushless drill is a cordless 1/2-inch driver built for general drilling and fastening. Its brushless motor delivers up to 850 in-lb of torque and 2,000 RPM, with a two-speed gearbox and a 23-position clutch for control across materials. The all-metal ratcheting chuck grips bits firmly, and the kit includes a battery, charger and bag. It sits in the crowded 18V–24V class against drills like DeWalt and Milwaukee, offering strong torque figures on paper and a 5-year tool warranty.

Questions and answers

Is this drill powerful enough for deck building?

With 850 in-lb of torque and a two-speed gearbox, it can drive deck screws and bore pilot holes. For long lag bolts into hard wood, a dedicated impact driver or higher-voltage tool is faster.

Does it come with a battery and charger?

Yes. The kit includes one 24V battery, an 85W charger and a bag.

Can I use other brands' batteries in it?

No. It uses Kobalt 24V batteries only, so you are tied to the Kobalt line for spares.

How does it compare with an 18V drill?

It offers more torque than most compact 18V drills but is heavier. If portability matters more than power, an 18V compact may suit you better.

What is the warranty?

The tool carries a limited 5-year warranty and the battery a 3-year warranty.
