What Comes in the Kobalt XTR 24V 5-Tool Combo Kit?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
As combo kits go, this Kobalt XTR kit checks off the standard boxes and adds a pleasant twist. Here’s what’s in the box:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Hammer drill with auxiliary handle, bit, and belt hook<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Impact driver with bit and belt hook<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Circular saw with blade and fence<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Reciprocating saw with blade<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- LED light<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- 4.0Ah battery<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- 2.0Ah battery<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Charger <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
The pleasant twist is the box itself. It’s a hard-sided rolling case with a gasket lid to keep moisture out. Most brands toss in a soft bag, but getting a rolling case is a nice treat. <\/p>\n\n\n

Check out our coverage of Kobalt XTR technology<\/a> for a broader overview of what to expect. Here’s the skinny: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Exists as a premium option alongside standard Kobalt 24V Max tools<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Advanced battery and motor technology<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Boosts performance by 50% over first-generation Kobalt 24V max tools<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- New features to go along with performance that gets the job done faster, safer, and easier<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
The new 24V Ultimate Output batteries are compatible with all Kobalt 24V tools, including XTR. Likewise, you can use standard Kobalt 24V batteries in XTR tools, you’ll just get the best performance when you pair an XTR tool with an Ultimate Output battery.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nAlso, as summarized above, the XTR line isn’t replacing<\/em> their existing 24V tools. It’s an upgraded line targeting serious DIYers and budget-minded Pros. If you’re wondering what to compare XTR to, these tools are more on par with Ridgid’s Octane in price but reaching higher in some of our performance tests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kobalt XTR Hammer Drill<\/h3>\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nThe first thing we noticed about the Kobalt XTR hammer drill is that it’s still pretty compact despite getting a big performance boost. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Looking at power, the hammer drill spins up to 2,000 RPM just like the standard model. Torque is a different story, however. With 1,200 in-lbs available in Low, it packs 85% more power than the 650 in-lbs we saw before. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even the blow rate in hammer drill mode has improved. What was 26,000 BPM is now 32,000 BPM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That massive change isn’t just an improvement; it’s a performance level that matches some of the best premium hammer drills available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We’re loving the higher performance, but there’s an important feature to note as well: kickback control. Kobalt now has anti-kickback technology built-in, making it safer to use with its beefier performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
