Alongside the essential Kobalt tools to have in your garage-or just about anywhere inside and outside your home-a portable fan is also a must-have. It can give you instant relief while you’re fixing your car in your workshop, enjoying some barbecue in the yard, or watching a baseball match. Plus, it’s a handy tool to keep around during power outages.
If you’re on the hunt for a portable fan at Lowe’s, Kobalt offers two 24V models. They both work with any of the Kobalt 24V Max batteries and have pretty identical designs,measuring seven inches,with three blades and a tiltable head.
While they do share the same brand, voltage, and general design, these Kobalt 24V fans aren’t entirely similar in terms of features. Let’s dig into the specs of the Kobalt 7-Inch 24V 5-Speed Personal Fan and Kobalt 7-Inch 24V 3-Speed Jobsite Fan to see how they differ.
Kobalt 24V 5-Speed Personal fan
The Kobalt 24V 5-Speed Personal fan works as a basic fan with no misting functionality. It can deliver, at most, 600 cubic feet per minute, or CFM, of airflow, which you can easily adjust using the five speed levels for your comfort.
While this Kobalt 24V fan from Lowe’s doesn’t come with other fancy cooling features, it does offer two power input options: a Kobalt 24V max battery or a regular wall outlet. Yes,the 5-Speed Personal Fan is a hybrid fan,so you can run it cordless or wired depending on your needs.
To use it with a battery, just slide the pack into the battery compartment right in front. To plug the fan into an AC outlet, simply pull up the receptacle cover at the back of the battery compartment and connect your power cord.
