Flex is taking over with this new drop!

[@KjWilliams_]

Super pumped for all these new products. Can’t say it enough but I’m so happy to see flex coming out with brand new stuff.

[@rickyperkins232]

@KjWilliams_ What happened to the doubters and haters, where they at?

[@g33xzi11a]

Their strategy has been superb. To roll out basic tools in the first year and then each year after that expand into some specific category.

[@ShredworthyDave]

Definitely get the new 2.0 stacked batteries. I got a pair and made my quick eject lighter and meaner than using the usual 2.5s or 5.0s

[@jhippl]

I'd love to see a track saw, grease gun, heat gun, sheet metal nibbler, sheet metal shears, d-handle sds max and a planer. Then they can move on to stuff like a pro press , some concrete and higher end tools. Several in that list can be a single gen tool for a long time like a heat gun, make a good one and your done engendering on it for a long time. A track saw is the big one I need right now as we are no longer allowed table saws on site unless its a saw stop.

[@Kaleb_RoSs]

@@jhippl all good ideas for them

[@g33xzi11a]

They already have concrete and surfacing/polishing tools because that’s been their specialty for like a century. They invented the angle grinder and die grinder after all. It’s just under their original German tooling brand. You can find it on their website

[@g33xzi11a]

This is why it’s ridiculous that US parents last 20 years. There’s a single simple change that has allowed a single device to exclusively provide an all-but-required safety feature and nobody can even start innovating on it until that expires. With continuation 25 years. So for a quarter of a century nobody has been able to make safer saws using capacitive brake engagement because of patent laws. I think a decade is more than long enough to capitalize on a patent like this. Heck with something that’s Germaine to human health and safety I’d even say no patents, just require reasonable forced licensing as determined by market analytic with automatic drop-off in licensing fees over time.

Man this video was everything I needed!! Best news ever literally every tool I was just thinking about this week. Thank you for the great news!

[@thebigswermdiggs3383]

Thanks for the info , just preordered 2.0 stacked

[@2005henson]

Kaleb are u serious on all this. Man that's awsome it just sounds just 2 good to be true

[@2005henson]

I thing there serious if there doing the framing nailer

[@Soroosh.J]

good news, Flex IS here to stay. cant wait to get my hands on them

[@rickyperkins232]

I have the brad Nailer. Do you have any other nailers?

[@nicklavioletteiii2183]

This is my only real gripe with Flex. The absolute snail's pace of new tool releases. That being said, I've loved every tool they've released and have had zero complaints.

[@Kaleb_RoSs]

I just saw a new release of their polishers now on the 24v line as well. I wish they had a few more tools but I also want them to do it right.

[@nicklavioletteiii2183]

@@Kaleb_RoSs Got a link to those? very curious!

[@rickyperkins232]

​@Kaleb_RoSs are you going to make a video on their polisher?

[@Kaleb_RoSs]

@@rickyperkins232 if I can get them, the polishers what they’re supposed to be best at.

[@g33xzi11a]

They’re building out a premium tool brand that’s meant to compete with Milwaukee and Mitabo and that takes time especially because most of their supply chain and R&D is German/EU-based and they are now establishing themselves as an American brand. I’d rather not see them expand too quickly and have unpredictable quality as they over extend themselves. Then we’ll just wind up with another Craftsman or DeWalt where the quality is a total gamble.

[@Benitodelacruz-d9p]

@ this point if these nailers can shoot like a tank reliability then we ALL HAVE TO ADMIT , FLEX IS ABSOLUTELY on topnof the game if they hold up with reliability

[@ferndogg84]

It looks like certain Lowe’s have the 2 aH in stock. It has the same power output as the 5aH and is smaller and lighter. Picked mine up yesterday. It pretty small not as small as the DeWalt but still good considering 24v, it’s also cheaper at a base price of $99 compared to the normal price of $119 for DeWalt. I would say the biggest problem going for the growth of Flex is Lowe’s! Most of the people I talk to that work there have never tired the tools nor are they educated on them (I think it’s the sales reps fault on the education). They have to realize that they have a product line that is up there in power and performance with Milwaukee and the latest DeWalt.

[@rickyperkins232]

Can't wait for the stack pack

[@rickyperkins232]

I am a Milwaukee Packout kind of guy, but I don't know why I like the FLEX Stack Pack. I have 22 Milwaukee Packout, but I am at 14 FLEX Stack Pack with my first 2 drawer FLEX Stack Pack join in today, making it 15 total. Now I want the FLEX Stack Pack backpack, cabinet, another 2 drawers, and more.

[@dcl97]

Been waiting for the framer. Have the Milwaukee, weights a ton and has been in for service 3 times in 2 years. The Metabo is lighter and more reliable but doesn't shoot LVL, LSL well. Hoping the flex has the weight and reliability of the Metabo but with more power. Flex isn't doing themselves any favors with the 2.5 and 5 in the kits. The stacked batteries are their biggest advantage.

[@Kaleb_RoSs]

@@dcl97 yea I want to see stacked lithium kits instead of regular batteries. The regular batteries aren’t doing them any favors

[@Jrome25]

I'm still waiting for there laser line up! Been waiting since they came out.

[@ns_racing]

I see your optimism on their choice of 2.5ah batterys on some of the nailers. For reference my Metabo HPT nailers will shoot over 1000 nails on a 2.0. Thats a lot of nails and most carpenters that will last hours if not all day in some instances plus smaller form factor is nice

[@Kaleb_RoSs]

@@ns_racing I’m not as concerned for the size as much as the style of battery, I would like to see them with stacked lithium batteries. Like that new 2.0 or the 3.5

[@fahs]

I have zero problem paying more for a tool under some conditions of course. If the tool has superior quality, ergonomics, and performance. Flex seems to have the quality and performance down, though they could definitely work on the ergonomics part. Overall, I don't mind paying the extra bucks for FLEX. Then again, they are a tax deduction as a business expense, so in the grand scheme of things I get a little extra motivation.

[@isaaccaris9530]

Flex is really onn Firex... saddly not comes to latam. Chile 🇨🇱

[@louisd95714]

In my opinion the prices are very reasonable. If anyone wants to purchase cheap tools, look elsewhere. You get what you pay for.

[@bud9719]

I searched for the one drawer rolling box and it shows up as an error page??…and the duffle bag type bag isn’t on acme either..just the 2.0 stacked lithium🤔..any thoughts??

[@Kaleb_RoSs]

@@bud9719 interesting, I can’t seem to find the stack pack products anymore either. Maybe they put them on the site before they were supposed to?

[@smithshotracing]

maybe they got ahead of themnselces and put it on the site too early

[@2NationRaider]

I wonder if they're coming out with a multi-drawer rolling box.

[@jmark1298]

It's gonna take a lot more than some new tools for Flex to "take over"... or even sell decently for that matter. They sell so bad at my store that we're wishing they would drop the line and bring in something we can actually sell. Can't get anyone to even give them a second look.

[@Kaleb_RoSs]

@@jmark1298 what would that line be?

[@rickyperkins232]

Hey Nick, i doubt you bro but you were correct. I just didn't see it coming.

[@bossmanz28]

Waiting for a 5 7/8" metal circular saw since dewalt refuses and i have some flex. Still holding onto a makita and its my only makita tool. And a dream 1 for me also a 9" metal circular saw. Im still stuck corded there because no1 has it. Larger grinders as well although i do have dewalts and there great but i always like to try somethin else. Dont know if that 60v can be beat tho since it still hasnt and been out longer then others

[@Kaleb_RoSs]

@@bossmanz28 that would be nice additions, I’m pretty sure Metabo hpt/Hikoki has a metal circular saw out now too

[@bossmanz28]

@Kaleb_RoSs they do. Ive been eying it up. Could of got it for 280 for the kit the this past week off amazon with a sale but i didnt pull the trigger. Was very tempted to tho. Unfortunately i dont have any metabo hpt tools either so it doesnt really benefit me and also like its design and shape and all looks identical to the makita. They copied them for sure. If flex had 1 it would make sense because i have a some flex tools and batteries as well. Of course dewalt would make the most sense for me but it jus seems like they never gonna update their brushed 5 1/2" that cant even cut 2" deep

[@bossmanz28]

The makita is a good tool. I have zero issues with it and its performance. Basically jus holding their batteries and charger for jus 1 tool

[@ToolswithSoAlz]

I just feel it's to little too late

@@nickp3270 lol 😂 I saw a few people in the flex Facebook group were finding them in store as well.

[@ProxyFinal]

You know, I find it odd that Flex hasn't done any announcements as of late. They just keep releasing new stuff. The pin nailer sealed the deal for me.

[@Kaleb_RoSs]

@@ProxyFinal yea, the marketing is not doing well at all and is hitting Flex for sure.

[@TOOL_TECHNICAL]

Prices are steep! lol but flex does have to make up for Lowes not really pushing the products. To be fair dewalt is in the 320+ range with their flywheel nailers bare tool so these aren't too far off in kits. 2.5 ah on tools that cost hundreds is painful..Cmon flex at least a 3.5 stacked. Not sure if you're gonna do that follow up video on the quick eject vs a new one but it may help people understand that a torture tested tool for 4 years is gonna last much longer with general use, or confirm if something may just be wrong with yours which flex haters will love

[@Kaleb_RoSs]

@@TOOL_TECHNICAL yea, I agree

[@Benitodelacruz-d9p]

lol haha everyone wants those stacked batteries , but nobody wana pay

[@tony21obrien]

Haven’t seen any flex products in person . I’ll just stick to my Milwaukee. Why switch to a platform no one has

[@wayneprice6918]

Switched from DeWalt and Makita to Flex. I have at least 10 tools and all have exceeded my expectations. Better than DeWalt, especially the variable speed grinder, 6 1/2 inch in line circular saw, and the 18 gauge brad nailer. Better features and ergonomics. I will not be leaving this platform.
