Summary
4.2 stars, 900 Lowe's reviews. Lowe's house brand alternative to the Ryobi. The 24V MAX platform gives it a slight voltage advantage, but the 3,000 SPM is 200 behind the Ryobi and DeWalt. Owners use it for weekend projects and basic cutout work. Solid for the price if you're already on the Kobalt platform.
