Best Dual Action Polisher? Kobalt 24v Battery Powered Polisher Review

Whats the best Battery Powered Dual Action Polisher? Now i havent tested the known polisher brands like the battery powered option from Flex, but i have tested 3 common brands that many of you will have batteries for. The Dewalt 20v, Ryobi 18v, and now the Kobalt 24v battery powered polisher. They all have there own design cues, power and oscillations ratings, as well as pros and cons. How does this Kobalt polisher compare to the Ryobi and Dewalt? ENJOY!!!

Thank you very much. I've been having an extremely difficult time trying to decide on which battery powered DA I should go with. I was stuck between the Ryobi and the Kobalt. I was planning on going with the Ryobi as first choice and your review confirmed my choice. I did watch both of your reviews on these tools and were by far the best on this platform. Thanks again, happy detailing.

I got that polisher today with the same four amp hour battery kit for 150 great review

Thanks for the review, I have the battery and other tools from Kobalt. It's not a bad tool for the price and just light duty diy tasks.

First let me say you have become my favorite auto detailer/ reviewer channel. However please note there is a substantial difference between "tactical" and "tactile".
At this point you have been saying tactical for so long I'm guessing it will be hard to change, but just fyi going forward.

I might get one of these. I have a bunch of other kobalt 24v stuff already.

I got the harbor freight Bauer long throw 6 inch one. Going to give it a try. I only plan on using it once or twice a year so this should do me just fine.

This polisher is on sale today as a free tool when you buy the 2 battery/charger combo. Picked it up for less than $150 OTD.

I got this polisher for free with the 4 piece set for 149.99 crazy good price. I love it for working on my personal car (a fortwo). Highly recommend for free

[timmyflew]

I just went to order this polisher from Lowes. I put a charger with 2 batteries in my cart and it said "Choose your free gift". This polisher along with other Kobalt tools was in the list! I got it for free! So if anyone is looking for this or any 24v tools this is the time.

Yeah boi!!! I've been waiting for this review and vidya!

[jasonblanc]

Thanks for the video. Almost bought it without researching(Kobalt). I’ll save another week or two and get the DeWalt. DIYer for 2 cars and a boat. 😅

[mrwise]

Could you please tell me the duration of a full battery charge for the polisher?

[mikephillipsrealworlddetailing]

Hi Josh - Chris Metcalf turned me onto your channel. Nice work really like the video.

The part you called a rubberized pad is called the tool rest 👌

[bruceneedles]

Great review... variable speed trigger is always good.

[legacydentco]

Dang man! Even Kobalt! Come on Milwaukee!!!

[blainerohlfs]

The kobalt has a brushless motor, the rattle is the rotor trying to match up the the magnets in the stator.

[KlockoFett]

I'm betting that Kobalt was bought and returned, then put back on the shelf without being checked. Whoever bought and returned, "forgot" to put the pads back in the package. Wondering if they also knocked it around, thus the rattle.

This is $99 right now with a charger 4amp and 2amp battery. Worth it to prep brand new cars for ceramic?

Hi josh I have the wax shine 8 mm I have been looking at the 15 and 21 mm polishers seeing that I’m a dewalt guy it’s over 300 in Canada on Amazon I’ve put it on my wish list lol
