It’s a very nice kit with a ton of extras that are not included from most other companies. Kobalt is Lowe’s internal brand and they have done a very nice job with this kit. This was our first opportunity to spend an extended amount of time with a Kobalt drill and we really enjoyed this drill. Pleasantly surprised might sound offensive but we really didn’t know what to expect from this package. The KDD524B-03 is a great drill with tons of features. It performed effortlessly through all of our testing and was very comfortable to use. The drill clutch setting definitely amps up the power to get through some hard surfaces: hardwood, masonry, and steel. The only thing that hampered the experience was when we kept drilling through angle steel and eventually got the drill to overheat and shutoff. This is a built-in feature that protects the drill but it could be a hindrance to guys who are pushing to get heavy work done quickly. We were very satisfied with this kit and would recommend it to all three segments of our The Tool Space users: DIY, Handyman, and Contractor (the warranty was considered when recommending for the Contractor segment).
