The volts don't matter. Being brushless, does. 24v. VS. 20v. does not mean an increase in power. At best you'll see a slight increase in runtime. Only reason why Kobalt is 24v. is because Milwaukee owns the rights to all 18v. Battery packs (which some companies claim is 20v.). Regardless, 18 or 20 means every company outside of Milwaukee has to pony up some cash to the brand. Kobalt's creators (ironically not Lowe's itself) decided they didn't want to do that. So they found a way to incorporate one extra battery inside of their battery packs. Making them 24v. But yeah, being brushless means you're getting a significantly better quality tool over a Brushed Bauer.
Thanks for the info. I figured it was something I wasn’t doing right. A few weeks after video I had to drill some 2” holes into some cabinets and had it on the right setting. Very powerful. I absolutely love the set snd plan to add to it
I get it, but XTR has better control surprisingly and it's much smoother to work with. In a sense, it's better at doing finish work than the next gen model@@jroark101

You have to turn the clutch over more because it’s still on screw mode not drill

I had to sell this ultimately. I still prefer the XTR.
XTR power isn’t really needed most of the time
