Flex Power Tools over a year on the job!

In this video, we're going to be reviewing Flex Power Tools over a year on the job. We'll go over some of the best features of these tools, and how they've helped us stay productive throughout the year.

[@MoneyshotLincoln]

I don't get ppl complaining about the weight when the tools are called Flex. They just want us to achieve hypertrophy. Flex cares about our gains.

[@PandorasFolly]

Hell yeah brother.

[@Zeethesquirrel]

Wheymen 🙏

[@EglantinaKushova]

😂

[@obligatedobservation5878]

WTF.....just bought one of their saws two days ago and said something similar to my friend, in regard to people mentioning the weight...." Those peeps just don't want the gains"....or something to that affect. Nice.... Stay awesome.

[@malachimiller8556]

😂😂😂 one way to look at it

[@TripPiper]

I bought the Packout and a few month later Flex’s came out. So now I’m stuck with Packout because when trying to resell the packout I always get low ball offers

[@Tami24945]

Hey Jon! You should put a link to the tools so you can get a % of the sale! I am an older lady and I want to build a cat condo for the community feral cats for the 😢winter. They had a very hard time last winter. I’m just a beginner not at all in the ballpark as you! Is there a saw that I could get to do all the cuts that I would need to get this accomplished? Please help me!

[@jeli1347]

Thanks for getting straight to the point w no stupid music in the background. Good to see an actual tradesman using these tools hard.

[@haydenheath1340]

I’ve been using flex for a while now and they are great tools. People who get hung up on the China thing forget Milwaukee is made in Vietnam with Chinese parts and dewalt is assembled with “global” (Chinese) materials in the USA. 😂😂

[@WontSeeReplies]

Point taken. But don’t underplay American assembly. If that’s all we get, it’s still a huge win. Not only economically. We once made the best tools in the world. I have no bias when it comes to quality. I’m here because I haven’t found anything to hold up like DeWalt tools. In ways I liked our cordless Milwaukee better, but every one broke. Meanwhile 20+ year old DeWalts are still going…weak. But going. I’ll begin my Flex experience, but don’t be surprised when they are the next Milwaukee. I’ll bet in 5 years everyone is going after Makita. For my frugal a$$, hope I’m wrong. Do me proud, Flex. I’m yet to see anything but DeWalt take 20’ falls without issue. But I haven’t owned Flex.

[@joes.2111]

Milwaukee is owned by a Chinese corporation. And now FLEX, a storied German company that brought us the angle grinder, is owned by a Chinese corporation. It is what it is. I'll take FLEX and Milwaukee everyday over DeWalt. (Though I love my Dewalt miter and table saw).

[@rodneygoerger7163]

What people are saying is that companies like Flex or Milwaukee are owned by Chinese companies. The CCP party controls and benefits from the sales of these tool. China and the Communist Party are some of the most evil and corrupt entities on the planet. We should do whatever we can not to contribute to the CCP . Brand loyalty is one thing, but country loyalty comes first tried to by American or of a country that is not Communist.

[@dive2drive314]

Even Stiletto sold out and is made in China...

[@kd9937]

Yeah some people support America because they love America Stanley Black and Decker all day over everyone Why give your money to a Chinese corporation they don't give it to us

[@ToolShow]

Really appreciate long-term jobsite reviews like this. Great job! Subbed.

[@GTB-yu2be]

This might sound weird but it's a real thing for me. Flex tools seem to blend into the background. They can sometimes be hard to easily spot on a jobsite.

[@allighast9714]

"they're hard to accessories with" "They don't make me look cool enough"

[@nikitavanhoose405]

Well this would make sense, as black and gray are universal for blending in. Many militaries across the world wear black and grey camo on their BDU's, and they do this for a reason. Just look at our Air force and Naval ships, jets, and helicopters. Their almost always painted black and grey. I think Flex could add just a little of their bright green trim to their tools and batteries and easily eliviate this problem.

[@loucifer4205]

I own a porter cable drill and impact driver easily over 15 years old still going are almost the same color as flex and I go crazy trying to find them when I place them down now I use dewalt you can't misplace them

[@gagejernigan5277]

I agree cause they’re dark colored and every other brand is bright and really in your face. It’s a marketing ploy that reminds us of toys as kids. But I think it’s a good thing they’re dark, less likely to be stolen if you can’t see them from a distance, and I always remember where I put my tools so to me that’s a pro not a con

[@LBibeauB24]

That's a valid point. If I'm doing work in a circular apartment complex, and I set my tool down and forget which unit, the orange, green, red, and yellow stand out and I can find it again. The grey/black of the Flex is harder to spot. Not a huge consideration, but a consideration nonetheless.

[@FJBsaidcornpop]

I work in the office of a big Factory and we purchased 8 Flex 1/2 drills and 6 hammer drills for a total plant reset and design. Oh forgot we also purchased 20 extra batteries with chargers. I can't remember what size batteries were bought 5 hr I believe. These drills ran non stop for 3 8hr shifts 7 days a week for a month at least. When one shift would return them to the crib they were immediately issued out to the next shift still warm. Some of the batteries that came with the drills has problems but we were sent replacements pretty quickly but we never had a problem with any of the drills. For this month would be a lifetime of use for the average DIYer and some construction workers. All of the maintenance guys said they were sold on Flex and have bought them for themselves. Just thought this may help somebody that didn't know anything about the brand. We. Later purchased 8 angle grinders and 8 1/4 impacts and I personally bought the 1/4 inch impact to build my deck and it's a beast. Any of the other tools I can't say because I've never seen or used them . Good luck on whatever brand you buy.

[@TheSonofabiscuit]

Going on two years with Flex, everything still works flawlessly and I beat my gear up. Waiting for the router personally, and I can't wait for a legit battery powered table saw.

[@garrett3108]

Milwaukee's table saw hasn't disappointed, and DeWalt's is good too, would be nice to have a 10" version from Flex or either of the above

[@northhammerfl]

Agree on both counts

[@yorselrus1996]

​@@garrett3108Yeah, also have both table sauce. And I don't really notice much of a difference between either one

[@l-ssfhgr6118]

Bought this Flex pack out a few months ago. Used on three projects. The latches between the top box and the middle box kept hanging up or not locking. Soooo, tried to call company service to get a fix. Wasn't asking for anything but a tech to walk me through the fix(maybe a replacement latch?). First, good luck getting through, they DON"T answer their phones. After a half hour hold the message comes on offering a call back. No choice gotta grow old on the phone or give up. No call back, so the next day I try again, same deal, but this time I get a call back. Pleasant young lady hears the problem and takes all my info and says they are sending a new replacement unit!! Of course nothing took place, NO Replacement Unit, No Latches, NO NOTHING!!!! The product seems to be well made except for these few minor issues, however I would never recommend buying a Flex product. They have no customer loyalty.

[@alannguyen5050]

Exactly. This is why I chose Milwaukee, they make reliable tools, sometimes not the best, but always reliable, and they come with a 5 year warranty as standard. Milwaukee has the best customer service out of any brand combined. They will replace any tool with no question.

[@jamesmcneish8560]

Just switched and I absolutely love the platform I’m a hot tub technician and I charge my batteries ounce a week love the channel btw

[@mattmcc7930]

I've been using Milwaukee for many years now. I have a massive collection of them and use them hard like you do. I have to say, last few years they have gone down hill. I have a brushed drill of Thurs that was their very first drill they offered with lithium ion batteries. It still Fing runs, weighs 90lbs but still runs. The latest two gens of fuel drills have not lasted. Both have been in the shop multiple times, and tge one is now out of warranty and is now a glorified paper weight. The fuel 7 1/4" saw is not holding up very well either. The fuel hackzall is dieing. They keep making the impact wrenches smaller and they keep getting less robust. I'm done with them. Would love to switch to hilti, but the price for entry is very high and they don't offer many of the tools I'd use. Maybe flex is the go here.

[@chamferreyes6747]

Same complaints and experience as well. I started switching to festool and my buddy just got a job with flex so I’ll be grabbing some of their tools at a discount

[@lifeisgoodskt]

Just use the tools with your batteries bro. I slowly buy the tools I want. And all my tools burnt to the ground on the Lahaina Hawaii fire. I love Makita and run some Milwaukee but flex is super competitive.

[@joeyhernandez5105]

I just switched over to flex from Kobalt and I've been very impressed so far I literally had the entire Lowe's display of Kobalt tools. I used Kobalt for about 13 years and I use my tools. I am not easy on my tools and I don't baby my tools and I was just ready for a change I'll be honest I got a black Dodge ram and my Kobalt blue tools didn't match so when I saw the flex brand and it matched my truck I decided to make the switch and I am not disappointed I have the drills the grinder the circular saw multi-tool and recip with the stack pack to start with. I want to visit the site to purchase my tools because my Lowe's has a piss poor selection I've been trying to get the vacuum for about 4 months now and it's never in the big stand up light is never in but I just wanted to say I enjoyed the video and it made me want to share my tool story with you.

[@tylerdurden7869]

Should have bought a red ram

[@Surmoka]

@@stevensko9153actually no, both are made by Chervon. But it's right they are the same company.

[@dustinandtarynwolfe5540]

Or not been such a Nancy about a color

[@Ethiokarate1]

​@@dustinandtarynwolfe5540😂

[@LESLASLESLAS]

That thing in the middle of the blade that attaches to the saw is called the arbor.

[@cliffordtonk9866]

I thought your opinion on Flex tools was very informative. I'm ready to get a new impact/hammer drill combo and from all the reviews I've watched, it looks like I'll give Flex a try. I've been an electrician for almost 30 years now and have been a die hard Milwaukee user. Great review!

[@danielthegreat1235]

What makes you want to switch over to flex from milwaukee after years of using milwaukee

[@joebach087]

Why the fuck would you switch 😂😂😂😂 too funny. Why would you buy this flex crap. I guess if you want to leave them out all night without anyone taking them then that's a plus.

[@Michaelx92x]

Hmmmmm rust with just over a year and blade slipping they definitely not gonna see flex as a common brand in commercial and residential def better/cheaper brands. I had flex and never again, customer service, the pack out my locks broke after 2 months

[@hulkhuggett]

Good video, amigo. This is one the best reviews of any product. On the job, experienced review. Not some wannabe in a garage showing which drill spins faster. My FAVORITE feature was the fan mounting to the box. Game changer!

[@jukio02]

Milwaukee is owned by TTI, which is a Chinese company, and they do make great tools. So, Flex also being a Chinese company which is owned by Chervon, I don't see what the problem is. Very nice video. I'm a Milwaukee fan, but I will definitely keep my eye on Flex.

[@Cas65082]

I bought a set. 5 batteries. 2 of the 5 ah have leaked a black grease like goo. Called flex and they said to replace them under warranty.

[@mikesnyder7961]

I just clicked on this video. Your opening 20 seconds was God damn hilarious.

[@jmark1298]

I'm the tool DS at a Lowe's. Several months back, we had a recall on our Flex tools because of the battery failure issues they were having- had to send most of our stock back. We're restocked now so hopefully they got that issue worked out. I don't have any real feedback to offer as we very rarely have anyone purchase this brand in my area so I don't get any feedback from customers. I think the battery issue scared a lot of people away from trying them ? Anyway, good to hear they are a tool I can recommend to people. I'd like to get more of them out in the field to see how they hold up.

[@bread-gz3rl]

You said you had all dewalt? Hows that stuff holding up?

[@taylorsessions4143]

I want to give these a try but my biggest hold up is the price. I can get their pack out style tool box and a decent combo kit for literally the same price as Milwaukee. None of the issues you stated were deal breakers for me, but i can't find a good reason to pay the same price for a more limited selection. I'm elated to hear you boast about their durability though!

[@thomaskitlica5572]

They are worth it for battery and strength alone they are the only one giving Milwaukee a run for the money and they are winning!!! They are quality tool's!!!

[@tydoyle7409]

Life time warranty? That’s the reason I’m switching

[@leprechaunbutreallyjustamidget]

Battery technology is king

[@josephfoster5593]

I’m about to get a trim carpentry company started up and am trying to figure out what brand my cordless tools will be, my only hesitation with flex is they don’t have a miter saw out yet, or nail guns from what I’ve seen.

[@TOOL_TECHNICAL]

They have an AWESOME 12 inch brushless cordless miter saw and a few nailers that are beasts 18 16 ga etc.

[@Dirshaun]

If your blade is slipping and the design is such that you can't get it to tighten after prolonged use, but was tight previously? Dirty blade. The blade picks up resin, or gunk or what ever you want to call it. That gunk grabs at the board as the saw spins and slows it down. It can cause the wood to burn as well. Many times when people think their blade is dull, it's actually just dirty on the sides.

[@ItalianoDio-]

Nice. They finally released the 4 battery charger for flex that Kobalt has had for years. Probably priced at $300. 😂

[@buckshot5896]

You can’t beat dewalt with 20v battery tools. I’m a commercial contractor, I buy from my local supply house, if I have problem they just swap out with new one. They even deliver to my job sites. Don’t buy from big box stores.

[@mikeluna619]

After the scams that Milwaukee and Home Depot pulled selling busted HD12 M18 batteries I’ve decided to save up for a Flex kit. I’ll probably use both since Milwaukee has their packout stuff that is much cooler than Flex but other than that I am not buying anymore Milwaukee Power Tools. I also like the Dewalt drill bits those things are some tough things!

[@wh1tedevil]

Ive snapped more dewalt bits than any other brand.

[@philliphenson5364]

Bosch has the best impact tips. Irwin makes great drill bits in smaller sizes.

[@TOOL_TECHNICAL]

Gotta say the dewalt black gold bits love em, Those cobalt drill bits can be pricey though

[@TheAmericanChippy]

"Rotary hammer saw!" as hes just chucking tools out of the mod box lolol. Subbed!

[@badger3184]

Really cool collection. I appreciate you sharing your experience with these tools. Thank you so much.

[@michaelbladen4971]

I'm already team red but good to hear that they work for you

[@AlexKall]

FLEX? Just kidding, FLEX tools are originally red and black like Milwaukee so I had to.

[@marcgrasso6032]

Well done Jon, 35yr carpenter here and I appreciate the attention to real builder conditions. Lab tests are one thing but I always bet on real world durability tests. Im a DeWalt guy but your insights and information has me thinking seriously about this line of tools. Thanks for the great video Bro!

[@badger3184]

Jon, thank you for posting this. Ignore the haters. I saw Flex's Right-angle Drill video was Very impressed with its performance. I am in trade school, and I stumbled across this brand by accident. Would you recommend this brand for Plumbing/Residential Electrician? I was told to look at Dewatt.

[@nathanroberts862]

Great video. Curious about the brand but I wanted a real life review. I feel like I got that here. Good stuff. Thanks again.

[@jeremyabbott2829]

I like you invested in pretty much everything Flex. I haven’t had the circular saw issue that you had but I did have some issues of my own. One is I got the batteries that that ended up pulling for the shelves. One leaked a black liquid and stopped working. The second issue I had was I didn’t register my tools so the life-time warranty didn’t apply. That one was my own fault. Overall I love Flex Tools. I am concerned though. I wanted to get shoe new table saw and chop saw because they look light years ahead of anything else. For some reason Lowe’s doesn’t have them. Yesterday I went to buy their new mid torque wrench and there were none on the shelves. I went to their website and it said no longer available at Lowes. Something is up. I’m hesitant to invest more without knowing if they are staying or going. Lowe’s or Flex have been silent.

[@sueb4154]

I think the reason that you are finding bare shelves at Lowes is that Flex seems to be in the process of releasing an entirely new line-up of tools. I've even found a few drill driver kits, super inexpensive at Acme Tools

[@Jasonitodd]

I’ve got the 1/2” high torque impact, 0 complaints. Great tool. Also have the impact drill and impact driver. Really like them both. One complaint with the different drill type platforms: they overheat super easy. Extremely powerful tools, but damn do they overheat a lot. In between 15minute uses, i usually have to stop and give the tool a few minutes to cool down to continue. That feels like a lot of wasted time.

[@exploringthepass4845]

I just now started buying flex from Lowe's and all of the batterys that come with the kit. Where leaking The cooling liquid. And it takes 10 days to get a new one. I don't know if it just Lowe's or are the batterys bad. So I haven't had the chance to o run them. Waiting on warranty batterys to arrive.

[@alonzomartii]

It might be defective on the guard. I got a flex worm saw and no problem so far.

[@shoptoolsoutlet5110]

Jon, My small company is starting to carry the Flex Tool Line. Would you mind providing a list of the most critical tools you would expect a local retailer to carry? Including the accessories? We are placing our initial stocking order and just want to make sure we are buying the right items as this is the first and only line of cordless tools we will be selling.

[@Detroit6V92TA]

As far as hammer drills go, Flex beats everything, including Milwaukee. From a quality standpoint, I still prefer Milwaukee. The Flex tools aren't sealed as well as the Milwaukee tools, so they are more susceptible to dirt and water. The do rust a lot faster than Milwaukee, although Milwaukee tools will still rust eventually. If you're leaving your tools out in the rain on a regular basis, I'd still go with Milwaukee. It will be interesting to see how all these tools hold up. Keep us updated.

[@doctorlefthandthread]

Nice review! That's great kit of tools right there!

[@crisbowman]

Flex is owned by Chevron, who also owns EGO. Take a tool apart, the engineering is impressive. They still have the best batteries. Interested to see how they influence the cheaper Skil brand.

[@albertchavez7069]

They make kobalt also I believe

[@BK-gc1jm]

Hi I just bought the flex vacuum it was $129 and you got a free 350 amp stack battery which is worth 179 alone. I don't understand flex every time I go to Lowe's every week they have tools on clearance and they're 60% off I feel that Lowe's might be dropping their line it doesn't make me feel good in the heart knowing that these nice tools are being sold so cheap but on the other hand I buy a lot of them when I see them on sale. Let me tell you about this tremendous vacuum I'll leave it in the back of my Mercedes van so I can always keep it clean when I throw my crap in the back and have trash days where I have to take bags of trash off the job site if you use a 2.5 volt battery it will work fine but I will tell you if you put a 10 amp battery and that thing it will work like it's supercharged or turbocharged The thing just sings away really loud and the suction is much more incredibly stronger so there you go the bigger the battery the faster that thing will work now I'm talking about going from a 2.5 amp regular battery to a 10 amp stack battery I don't necessarily know if you need to put a 10 amp stack battery cuz it makes a little bit heavy but I'm sure if you put a 6 amp stack or an 8 amp battery it will work good too anyway it's a super good tool but the way they're selling these tools where you buy the vacuum for $129 and they give you $179 battery for free all these prices are just insane it doesn't leave me comfortable that the company is going to be in business or possibly Lowe's is dropping their line I'm looking forward to hopefully on clearance the tripod light that's 249 coming down in price My store where I live has eight of them they've been there for 3 months they haven't sold a one I can see them up in the top and I asked the guys that do the flex there and they all own flex now cuz they get them on clearance too they said the lights haven't moved at all they're too expensive but it's a great light so I'm waiting for the light to go on clearance and the radio. I bought the rear handle saw that was 399 for $209 on Amazon. Now two weeks ago Lowe's had it on clearance for $159 that was the kit with the charger and a 10 amp battery I kept the bat two batteries I bought two saws I kept the two batteries and I sold the saws with the charger for $159 what I paid for them and they gave you a $300 battery. See this is ridiculous this is not what I understand how does the company make money doing this. Why is Lowe's dumping all these things

[@Ffoo_ffighter]

Where are gettt these insane deals? Rear handle with 10 ah lithium for $150??? I never see any lowes clearance like that. Lol

[@BK-gc1jm]

Lowe's non advertised .you have to go to the stores. They are not in clearance aisle but they are in same flex section just yellow tagged

[@Ffoo_ffighter]

@@BK-gc1jm if you trying to catch those, you need to go 3x a week lol. Great find though.

[@TylerM-j1i]

I have a bunch of Stack Pack boxes and the one thing I would prefer is for the latching mechanism to be on the front like the Packout or Stack Tech. Now the Stack Tech is very appealing, but since Toughbuilt does not make power tools, there will be no integration for battery operated tools into their storage system. I've bought a bunch of Flex tools as well that have yet to be used, so I am already in the system. What makes me excited is that when looking at their website, they have a bunch of new tools coming out AND, as the only company other than Metabo to have one, they have an AC adapter which is huge plus for me.

[@jr4062]

Everything is made in china today, maybe the cardboard box might be made in the usa, I don’t know of any tools made in the usa.

[@Glexmusic]

Today I bought my first FLEX Tools (Red Line), I am not a Pro Wood worker. Is this Black Line a USA/Non EU Version? I did not find Black Flex Tools in Germany. And my one is a 18V Version.

[@BA-sw5dn]

I subscribed man I wanna hear more about flex! I'm a framer in the Seattle area but I worked in Texas too actually.. One thing that kinda sucks up here is when it gets cold batteries start to shit the bed... Makita seem to do better than the others though. Anyway I want to upgrade my 18v makita kit and get quite a few more tools but I dont wanna blow all my money on the 40v makita tools and batteries so Flex is really jumping out at me

[@AlexKall]

Makita makes great tools, why hesitate about the 40v?

[@suzuki230]

So far my only complaint is the radio, it’s sooooooooo quiet when connected to blue tooth. I wish they would fix that, makes no difference either if connected to an aux cord either. Would be cool if flex came out with some speakers like Ryobi that can all connect.

[@ItalianoDio-]

They won't. Flex and Kobalt is made by the same company. The Kobalt speaker is fantastic. Flex isn't?

[@lseclips921]

same so quiet

[@ChrisDenchev-ok7cb]

Flex Storage Boxes are really the Best man. But the tools still are not betterment than Milwaukee. Torch Tests about Drill, Grinder and Circular Saw Milwaukee always beats all the brands. Have you tried Milwaukee on a Rain and tough weather how Reliable are? Chris

[@luismizhquiri3959]

These are great tools . Very durable, powerful, dependable. In my opinion, next to Milwaukee tools.. Price is fair but its worth the price. .

[@dgreer5537]

At this point, they’re all about the same if you’re buying top tier tools, M18, XR, Flex/Chervon (no experience with it)

[@mikeredhead2894]

Right on my brother. I been yellow for 10 years, red for a about 5 and just jumping over to FLEX today, got me a Stack Pack broooooo! Good solid review.

[@BK-gc1jm]

I go to Lowe's at least three times a week and I always walk by the flex section to see what has yellow tags some stores have more clearance items than other stores but the clearance items are not always the same at different stores in some stores don't even have clearance items. I've been looking for the 4000 loom tripod light My store has eight of them up on the high rack shelf they've been there for 3 months they haven't sold one. If you look on the low store in Boca Raton you'll see they have eight and inventory and if you read this in 2 months from now they're probably still have eight in inventory

[@ramdancer]

Battery leakage, is that still a problem with their new stack line? Bottom line is, that shouldn't of been a problem in the first place! I was afraid of shaking the packaging when I received a new battery from Flex, only to have experienced the same leakage issue! WTF?! For any tool manufacturer having batteries leak on you, shows the lack of QC on their part or just poor engineering! For that I'm sticking with Milwaukee, their attention to detail and engineering are so far the best in class... No wonder Flex offers lifetime limited warranties on their tools, just like Ridgid! Doesn't mean the tools are great, just means they dont want the consumers to keep complaining!

[@Ethiokarate1]

When my milluakee set gives out im moving to flex. Sick of sharing batteries with these bozos 😂

[@BK-gc1jm]

Just starting to buy Flex. Great warranty.. call thrm and they register them..and replace them with fotos emailed to them.

[@TheGuyFromDenmark95]

That charger is definitely inspired by Dewalts. The people behind Flex seems to be the guys that were in the fields thinking "I like this from Dewalt, but I like some things about Milwaukee better" and so on and then said "f*ck it" if I have to get both to get the best, I might as well make my own stuff.

[@AlexKall]

They have been making their own stuff since 1922, if you ever use an angle grinder, it's a tool invented by FLEX 😉

[@PanamaSilverback]

My only complaint is I had all my batteries start leaking and had to go a few weeks without. But they replaced it at no cost, so it’s just a minor inconvenience.

[@robbie154]

“Flex is too heavy!” Idk maybe don’t put a 10ah on your impact? I know crazy thought.

[@marcospolanco8349]

If only i knew about Flex Tools i could hever have gotten DeWalt. But its not to late to start fresh.

[@loucifer4205]

How often do you have to look a little longer for your tools because you can't see them the color scheme sucks

[@joshuaware3304]

Seriously Louis… if your eyes are that bad you shouldn’t be using tools. Or just be a bitch and by dewalt or Ryobi. Oh wait….

[@rubencasillas1794]

I don't think he takes care of anything, just saying, WOW I wonder how he is at a job site.

[@YarHarFD]

I started looking at flex because of that inline circular saw. That thing is damn sexy.

[@joshoconnor6684]

Yes yes, ive also "intentionally" not been cleaning my kitchen. Its for science.

[@slicksavage]

This is was the best decision I ever made switching to flex

[@MrKnnthc93]

As a service plumber, I mostly use m12 but when I need power, I go to my flex

[@microwave221]

I used the M12 when l was upfitting emergency vehicles or working as shop electric in film, and they were sufficient for 95% of what l needed without taking up more space then necessary, but now I'm in the market for a battery angle grinder or bandsaw. Nice to hear they work in the field, but l think the key factor in my decision is if their acdc adapter will work with their grinder without destroying it.

[@lyonsdavid]

The cutting depth is more than any other saw on the market especially on the Flex 6 1/2 Inch In Line Circular saw because the arbor sits so close to the foot plate. Also the gap in the Arbor is something I've encountered too, just make sure you center your blade best you can before you tighten it down to minimise wiggle wobble.

I like all brands of power tools but I am heavily invested in DeWalt and Ridgid with no complaints of either if I ever take on another brand down the road it will certainly be the FLEX line.

[@solargoat]

Yo! How are the new stack batteries… haven’t tried any out. Great review

[@JonDawson]

Bro they are impressive. The power is amazing but honestly how long they last and how fast they charge is mind blowing in my opinion.

[@Arizona.Ranger]

I'm sold on them, I have two 3.5 aH and a 6.0 aH and can use them over a single work week and have yet to go below two bars on them. I mainly use them on the small hammer drill with turbo mode and the multi mode impact driver. I recently bought the one handed recip saw and used that all week making multiple cuts on conduit, and uni-strut and hell I think the 3.5 battery is still showing four bars.

[@JonDawson]

@@Arizona.Ranger it really is crazy how long the batteries last. Sometimes I don’t charge them for 2 weeks if I’m using them on smaller tools. Can just leave it all up together for the work week

[@BlazingBazan]

hi im slap and i have a flex power tool addiction. i sleep with my inline saw

[@Hurrikayne907sr]

That sawzall design is more reliable less moving parts

[@3dandyrandy3]

Makita for the win. I have Makita tools older than this guy.

[@monicastewart2371]

I’m a plumber and I dropped Makita and Milwaukee for flex tools, I love them!

[@gagejernigan5277]

Milwaukee power tools are also made in China lmao

[@xavierharris9065]

They both are owned by the Chervon

[@WontSeeReplies]

This guy is selling me so good I feel like the average idiot.

[@Daniel-bg2jq]

I love the brand. Only issue I’ve encountered is my batteries started leaking… and they only let me replace 2 out of the 5 i had. Other than they work great on the jobsite and in heat. Im a welder and the grinder is money!

[@gabrielrocha560]

Too heavy ? Ladies leave the heavy lifting to the men lol

[@svnelliejowestsail3222]

Thanks for the review. I take it the batteries hold up well.

[@JonDawson]

Very well! Dropped many and they are all solid! Left one sitting out in a downpour and that was about 3 months ago and it’s still working great!

[@GodGunsGills]

@@JonDawson dope

[@svnelliejowestsail3222]

@@JonDawson Nice to know about the batteries. I'm going to have to buy some new battery tools this summer so I'll give Flex a consideration. Thank for the videos. I plan on building our cabin similar to yours in the monopoly way.

[@33kingmajor16]

I got flex tools, but they are not Dewalt

[@33kingmajor16]

Oh and Flex fa sho paying you😊

[@CrazyGlasses1]

I rebuilt the entire 48 feet long by 8.5 feet wide flatbed trailer with Flex Tools. I had a drill fly out of my hand and on to the concrete floor. All that happened was a nick on the head of the drill. They are well built tools!

[@glenarseneau4796]

The one down fall for me on flex is they really haven’t done anything for us plumbers

[@Zakh0704]

Give them time they will get there tool selection up. But Incase you didn't know they have a compact and full size band saw coming out in april

[@GodGunsGills]

Prices

[@JonDawson]

They are just gettin started. I’d never drop a platform for flex due to the holes in the line up, but I’d definitely invest in a slow take over as they grow. I really believe these tools will outlast most brands when it comes to battery and tool durability

[@saucedbenny]

"they're pretty much holly" HA rofl

[@itsmerob6120]

Subbed. Looks like a great channel

[@klancyklancy7961]

Garbage crap the batteries horrible.

[@thedavvandavidowski]

What do you think about Skil tools compared to Flex

[@rlgonzalez04]

Made by the same company, Chervon. Flex is a higher tier tool but Skil offers a good product for the low price

[@Hurrikayne907sr]

Packout is the best tool box

[@stickymcanus6909]

I use flex tools as well been using for years now on framing , I even sold my deWalt flexvolt circular saw just to my first flex circular saw lol but it was worth it , I feel like the flex was stronger with a regular 24v battery instead of a heavy 60v

[@TheRealGOTdurrrred]

Flex tools are the best on the market
