My stores have an aisle long display of the new line of Lowes-exclusive Chervon-made 24 volt FLEX tools. https://www.lowes.com/pl/Flex--Po...0408706007
Doesn't this mean Kobalt's cordless days' are numbered?

Nope, Kobalt is going nowhere even with FLEX.

Kobalt is to Flex what Ryobi/Ridgid is to Milwaukee. I just need Flex to start dropping some tool deals and adding more to their line before I decide to invest.

Do we know if the batteries will be interchangeable?

Doubtful. Kobalt keeps on bringing out more tools for the platform. They now have a bandsaw and caulking gun. Rumor to bring out a grease gun soon. I don't see the Kobalt 24v line going away anytime soon. I don't have them all but I have probably 60% of their tools.

Milwaukee has been making Pro Grade tools since at least the 1960s. Flex is 3 months old, only sold at Lowes and could just disappear at anytime if sales suck.

I have acquired a decent amount of Kobalt tools over the years. They're good quality but most are no longer being sold because they got pushed out of the store for a more profitable brand or model.
The Kobalt torque wrenches were one of the latest casualties. They are great quality but got bounced for the plastic Craftsman models.

I feel like based on your username alone I debate whether I should reply, but I 100% didn't attempt to compare Flex to Milwaukee, merely offer a layout of where the lines were supposed to fall in the world of tools.

The new Flex is young (as there is an old Flex), Chervon is not. And their goal has been to be another Pro level tool line alongside Milwaukee, Dewalt and others. As to whether they'll live up to that over time is a whole other discussion we can't even have yet.

Bleh, the jigsaw is not part of the promotion? Anyone have any success/luck getting them to expand the offer in store to include other tools not on the list? The jigsaw is going for $119 and there are tools that are priced up to $159 on that list.

Too bad no belt sander; the Kobalt one got better reviews versus Ryobi
