    Kobalt 24v 1.5a battery for $10 - how is it this even possible ?

    First time hearing about the Rigid lifetime warranty. Is it hassel free? Call me an old fart but I dont see how they can make money on that. Batteries dont last longer than 5 years for me.

    Kobalt 24v 1.5a battery for $10 - how is it this even possible ?

    Made the adapter to mount this thing to a vacuum cleaner. I have been dreading making a battery pack for it the last couple of months. (I get emotionally attached to things and dont like replacing them). This pack is nice because 24v is very common, and it handles all the balancing, and over...

    Kobalt 24v 1.5a battery for $10 - how is it this even possible ?

    Played around with the battery some more, getting consistent mid 20s for drain. Respectable mid-rage numbers for a single cell series. Short circuit cutoff around a hundred amps if you let it sag enough. I will be honest I am more interested in the batteries than the tools. Hell I even like...

    Kobalt 24v 1.5a battery for $10 - how is it this even possible ?

    Kobalt 24v 1.5a battery for $10 - how is it this even possible ?

    Picked one of these up at lowes because I could not believe the price. Was expecting to find some flour cells but these seem like the real deal. Now considering trying their 3/8" impact, seems decent for the price. Somebody please talk me out of it...

    Please recommend me a lithium ion jump starter \ battery pack

    Good morning Garage Journal, the time has come to replace my old jump starter that is no longer holding a charge. This is an old lead acid one that has lasted me about 4 years. I have owned one of these for as long as I can remember and the battery ends up dying every 5 years or so. I found...

    Decent 3/4 torque wrench,

    Especially if the reviews on HF's on site are under 4 stars, they have been known to dupe the stats
