It seems that the "PayPal symbol @ the bottom of the page" --> is for a "PayPal CC" .... Not going to the site PayPal to make a payment
 
 
Shipping is listed as free.


Did NOT find any mention of "Reconditioned" or "Factory Seconds"  - did I miss something ?
 

I was told at my local Lowe's, that they are discontinuing the Kobalt 80V products
 


Edits for clarity & to Warn others

My antivirus sent a warning about the site, you might want to be careful.

Which antivirus are you using ?
 
 
 
1) The report from - https://whois.domaintools.com , does not help give me confidence 
 
Transparency Report
 
2) Google Transparency Report for kobaltoutlet.com   Current status - No unsafe content found
 
 
3) Report from "is it Hacked"   -- looked OK
 
4) Passed sniff test by VirusTotal  --- "No security vendors flagged this URL as malicious"

The whois seems sketchy and returns to an apartment in China.  Probably too good to be true or not genuine Kobalt tools. Personally I would avoid.

That is why I am asking for feedback / "fresh eyes on this"
 
yes, I'll agree that report is Odd to say the least
 
though address looks to be the --> Tech Contact - or am I misunderstanding ?
 
The server being hosted or maintained elsewhere - is plausible - but in China - that is very odd to me???
 

Hard to believe that Lowe's (who owns the Kobalt banner) would allow this to happen on any kind of legitimate basis. 
 
I'm sure the tools are made in China.. and maybe even at the same factory, but I doubt it would be genuine Kobalt. Either a knockoff, Harbor Freight quality, no name brand or scam IMO.

I'd avoid it.  You want something that's been registered longer and definitely not in China

 
Thanks Everyone
 
 
 
 
Guess I should have started my checklist with their listed "Contact Us" address ---> https: // www. kobaltoutlet .com/contact-us/ (edit I broke the link)
 
Google & Google maps & MapQuest  --->  they ALL - fail to identify this address: (as listed in Link above)

Kobalt is a Lowes brand... so if Lowe's has nothing to do with this website then it's not genuine and likely not using genuine Kobalt equipment. 
 

Cool GTXI was told at my local Lowe's, that they are discontinuing the Kobalt 80V products

That's unfortunate, my Kobalt weed whacker is either 40v or 80v. Hopefully can source a replacement battery from somewhere once I eventually need to.

You got my hopes up when I read the title on your thread.  That is until I read the posts that followed.  I like the Kobalt products.  I try to buy tools where I can use the same batteries in each.  I have a Drill, Jigsaw, Chainsaw, and Weed Whacker that all use the same batteries.  Since most came with batteries and chargers, I have a nice surplus of each.  3 chargers and 5 batteries.  I think it's the chainsaw and weed whacker that came with the "long run" batteries, but also use the standard one's as well.  All 24V.  I was skeptical about the 24V batteries holding up with the chainsaw in paticular, but was pleasantly suprised how well it did and how long I could run it.
