Does the Kobalt KDD 124B-03 come with a battery and charger?

No. It is sold as a bare tool, so you need a Kobalt 24V Max battery and charger, or a kit that includes them.

What batteries does this drill use?

It runs on Kobalt 24V Max batteries, the same packs used across the Kobalt 24V line. Any 24V Max pack fits.

How much torque does it have?

Kobalt rates the brushless motor at up to 1,200 inch-pounds, which is strong for a 1/2-inch cordless drill.

What chuck size does it take?

It has a 1/2-inch keyless chuck, so it accepts standard 1/2-inch shank bits and most hex-shank accessories with an adapter.

Is it good for drilling masonry or metal?

It handles light masonry and metal with the right bits, but it is a drill, not a rotary hammer. For heavy concrete work, a dedicated hammer drill is better.

How does it compare with a DeWalt or Milwaukee drill?

Torque and features are competitive, but DeWalt and Milwaukee offer larger battery platforms and more accessories. Kobalt makes more sense if you already own 24V Max batteries.

Our take on the Kobalt Brushless Cordless 1/2-in Drill KDD 124B-03

The Kobalt KDD 124B-03 is a 24V brushless cordless drill with a 1/2-inch keyless chuck, a two-speed gearbox and a 24-position clutch. Kobalt rates it at up to 1,200 inch-pounds of torque, which is strong for a drill in this class and enough for deck screws, hole saws and masonry bits in light work. It runs on the Kobalt 24V Max battery platform, so anyone already on that system can share packs and chargers. The trade-off is a smaller accessory and battery ecosystem than DeWalt or Milwaukee, and the bare tool ships without a battery or charger.
