I've been on FW and SD for 20 years now, buying all sorts. During that time I've learned lots of lessons, one of them being: don't buy something you don't have a use for with the expectation that you'll find a use for it. Such things just take up space, add clutter to your life, and ultimately end up being given away or trashed. When I look at this tool this is absolutely something the old me would have bought.
Die grinders are mostly used in metal fabrication and machine type work. Most homeowners aren't going to really need a die grinder unless they have a small MIG welder at home to tinker with.
You use bits like these in die grinders:

Kobalt 24v however... its every bit as good as my Ridgid stuff and their XTR stuff is competitive with Dewalt. I wouldn't trade my XTR impact driver for any other impact. On YouTube, Kobalt tools regularly test near the top, it's a sleeper brand for sure. I'm pretty bummed they pretty much stopped expanding the line up ever since FLEX came out.
The Ryobi inflater (the fancy one) is leaps and bounds better than the Kobalt. Ryobi has tools that Kobalt simply does not offer. If it is a deal and I can use it, I buy it. Between the 2 brands, I've done pretty well so far.
I wish more kobalt 24 v stuff would go on clearance.

I disagree that you have to know the use upfront. It's always nice to have the right cheap tool handy. But you often don't know what tool that will be, so get a variety on the cheap and *having* the tool opens up the mind to things you can do with it.
But ... the first acquisition in any set has to include a battery and charger. Bare Tool only, so I'll have to pass.
I'd pick it up if I already had the battery and charger, but no.
Was hoping it would be included, so I'd get a tool and could expand a line of Kobolt with bare tools in the future. But no such luck.

You also need a competent cashier. By the register they should have a bar code they need to scan for the discount to come off.

A drill will certainly not do the same job as a die grinder. Die grinders have traditionally been pneumatic tools that spin at a very high RPM. Typical cordless drill spins at 2,000 RPM on high. This Kobalt die grinder spins at 10,000 RPM on low and 25,000 RPM on high.
