A friend was in a Lowes store over the weekend looking at cordless OPE equipment and a Lowes employee told him Kobalt is discontinuing the whole 80V line because they had too many problems / warranty issues.
It was a rumor / speculation that Lowes was going to get rid of the whole Kobalt line when they took on Craftsman a few years ago and this turned out to NOT be true.
Again more rumor / speculation that the 80V line was dead when they took on the EGO line this year and pulled all the 80V from the stores (see my post #29) and made available online only.
Searched online for any recent news of Kobalt 80V being discontinued and found nothing newer that what I'd read before ... none of which was anything official.
My guess is the Lowes employee wanted my friend to buy cordless tools that he could sell from store inventory rather than order the 80V stuff online.
Anyone have any insider news ??
Thanks,
Doug
