I have been sufficiently unimpressed by my Kobalt cordless garden tools, to keep me from investing further in the brand. I purchased a 40 Volt Max 24" Hedge Trimmer, and their Pole Chain Saw. The hedge trimmer failed in the first year. It was just as well, because the results it was producing were underwhelming. Lowes replaced that tool under warranty with the latest version of the tool, which produced similar mediocre results. The chain saw gear stripped after about 3 hours of use. One reviewer took his apart after it failed, and found that the gear was made of a plastic material. :-( This time, Lowes had no inventory to replace it, and between Lowes (they own Kobalt) and Kobalt, customer service was just about useless. It literally took months to get a replacement, which would have taken longer still, had I not followed up repeatedly. Needless to say, I do not recommend the brand.
