The warranty on this is great, it's a 5-year warranty (for the tool, 3-year for the battery). If you don't add it to your MyLowes account (or save the receipt), they're not obligated to fulfill the warranty.
I got lucky last fall. The bit-less chuck went out in mine and the bits were almost IMPOSSIBLE to remove after doing the most basic jobs with it. I went to my local Lowe's and they saw that the date code was less than five years old, however it still needed a manager's approval and override. Even with the approval and override, I had to go back home to get everything it came with.
Regardless, I was jumping for joy that they warrantied it for me and promptly added the receipt to my account.
As a side note, when she took in the defective drill she gave me store credit (merchandise card maybe??), so I'm curious as to whether or not they would warranty my new one if it died. It looks like a normal store purchase on MyLowe's with no reference to the warranty exchange, so I'm guessing it has a brand new 5-year/3-year warranty.

Mine too.. They are cancelling all orders with this coupon. Making this FP was a bad move. Oh well.
I wanted a pair of Makitas, but I dont think they'll ever drop this low. So glad I'm getting this though.

My point is that if you are trying to compare watts (volts x amps) or watt-hours (voltage x amp-hours) between different brands that you need to be using the same type of voltage numbers.
If you are using the 24v MAX (fully charged without a load) figure for Kobalt, then you shouldn't be using the 18v (actual operating voltage) figures from other manufacturers in making comparisons.
Roughly speaking, 24v MAX is 21.6v operating voltage and 20v MAX is 18v operating voltage.

If you are using the fully charged unloaded voltage of one battery, then you need to use the fully charged unloaded voltage of the other battery to make a fair comparison.
18v tool batteries are actually 20v when fully charged and unloaded.
24v*4ah=96Wh
20v*5ah=100Wh
