FLEX 24V Brushless 18ga Brad Nailer Review [FX4331]

[@SamiDurm]

Milwaukee gray

[@Shoptoolreviews]

Lol. That's interesting. Thanks for watching.

[@yorselrus1996]

Its an awfully familiar design, I can't quite figure out what company it looks. Maybe it will come to me

[@rickyperkins232]

Sexy FLEXY dude. I am loving it.

[@McGarveyton]

A lot of the rapid fire I see on these test videos, and they have miss fires, it just looks like the operator is getting out of time and lifting up before the nail finishes its drive…anywho I just ordered one of these after debating on it and Milwaukee 😎. Thanks for the video!

[@stephenleepmg113]

Nice tool. I have Hitachi battery nailer, but Flex is really stepping. They are getting hard to pass up.

[@rickyperkins232]

Barnaby and Mike the plumber was onto something at least they didn't BS anyone.

[@plantsandfish5512]

FLEX tools are awesome! I wouldn’t say any brand is the best, it’s a personal preference. I will say, unless you’ve used FLEX tools, you just won’t understand. Truthfully, I was the same way until I started buying their tools and noticed all of the little things they do to solve issues.

[@landansmock3060]

I have been very impressed by all their tools. There are a couple tools I don't have but I bought in for the lifetime warranty when they first hit the market. So far everything is great. I love the 6.5 circ saw, the recip, hammer drill, grinder, shop vac. I want to get the dry wall drill and magazine system. Looks awesome.

[@rickyperkins232]

This is definitely a welcoming surprised from FLEX. When it comes to nailers I am 100% a Milwaukee guy however I can see me ditching the Milwaukee for new Sexy FLEXy.

[@nicklavioletteiii2183]

I've been waiting on a brad nailer from Flex forever. Slightly disappointed that it can't also do staples like my current one, but my current one also sucks lol

[@brianhall9019]

I imagine you’ll see a stapler next year also. A 15ga and 16ga before 2025. Just my guess.😊

[@nicklavioletteiii2183]

@@brianhall9019 Hopefully! Hoping they extend the warranty again as well

[@rickyperkins232]

​@@nicklavioletteiii2183let's just say I am a die heart Milwaukee nailer fan boy however there is going to be a Sexy FLEXy 18 gauge nailer as a replacement

[@rickyperkins232]

​@@brianhall9019I hope you are correct.

[@nicklavioletteiii2183]

@rickyperkins232 I got my hands on the Flex nailer, it's pretty fantastic so so far. Fired about 100-150 nails just messing around. No jams, consistent sinking of nails, all is good!

[@plantsandfish5512]

How would you compare this to the Kobalt xtr Brad nailer? I believe you’re one of the very few that reviewed that model.

[@macmcmillen6282]

Impressive performance.

[@rickyperkins232]

Only from FLEX

[@yorselrus1996]

Come on, more than $250 bare for a tool with minimal use. I picked up the Metabo hpt 18 guage kit for $179 about 2 years ago. Still going strong after a few thousand nails

[@juandector]

How do you like the metabo? Leaning that way since is super compact

[@durantplayz7111]

​@@juandector great brad and Framing nailers. Horrible pin nailer

[@rickyperkins232]

Metabo turns out too quickly welcome Sexy FLEXy

[@jukio02]

Omg, flex is becoming better than Milwaukee. In a few more years, it will surpass Milwaukee. Damn.

[@rickyperkins232]

I guess you didn't hear that little speech from Barnaby and Mike the plumber on FLEX FACE off one and Flex FACE off 2!

[@NonaNona-zh4mt]

FLEX is innovative at best

[@bigdaddydieseldan]

It is a Milwaukee in gray and Hitachi Metabo HPT brad nailers and pin nailers are awesome

[@rickyperkins232]

Needless to say it has the FLEX logo on it they're not playing around

[@mattek519]

The ridgid brad nailer is the best one out by far. Just feels the best and the smoothest

[@rickyperkins232]

So you have tried every nailer on the market including this FLEX nailer

[@mos8541]

well... as long as it feels the best.. to you .... smFh

[@gcoffey223]

Rigid is great. Ryobi is TRASH. Kobalt ZTR is criminally underrated. Better priced (tool only) more power

[@mattek519]

@rickyperkins232 i can hear it, see it and observe its short comings. I can say with confidence the ridgid out performs this

[@mattek519]

@@mos8541 and anyone else who uses it.

[@mos8541]

those electronic controls are SO SUPERIOR to those meager old timey screw thingys, ....BUT... WHERES THE TURBO!?!

[@rickyperkins232]

Sexy FLEXy with a turbo on it, bang.

[@oliverbrian999]

It looks just like milwaukee

[@rickyperkins232]

That's okay though it is still a Sexy FLEXy for sure.

[@Modine.]

So if this thing doesn't shoot the last five nails, then what are you supposed to do? Seams kind stupid.

[@rickyperkins232]

Milwaukee have not shot the last 4 nails since they came out with their brand nailer I think that you are a silly dude because you haven't used these tools and don't understand any electronic nailers.

[@Mcarlisle_02]

Same tool as Milwaukee

[@rickyperkins232]

Lighter than the Milwaukee means less fatigue throughout the day.

[@richiejames928]

This looks like the best 18g on the market…. Absolutely embarrassing Makita couldn’t bring this to market but flex could. makita need to start buying up these designers and quick.

[@rickyperkins232]

FLEX came to be king of the Hill not to be another Ridgid

[@NonaNona-zh4mt]

​@@rickyperkins232FLEX seems to be making innovative changes in the tool market

[@MadLadsAnonymous]

Makita XGT has a brad nailer but 40 mm max length

[@scottyee707]

I think I'm done with Makita, sent in my grinder almost 3 months ago for repair/warranty replacement... They still can't tell me when it's going to be ready and I've heard horror stories of other guys waiting up to five months for tools now

[@richiejames928]

@@scottyee707 where abouts is this? I have only ever done one makita warranty repair on a drill that was only part of my home tool kit and not my work tools.. so I was in no rush to get it back… still it only took less than a weeks turn around. I’m in the UK. maybe we have a better network here.

[@samkennedy841]

Same dumb belt clip as Milwaukee.

[@uprightcr2744]

Hi my name is flex tool and I copy Milwaukee on everything… because I’m a douche bag company

[@simonmonty7171]

Yes Milwaukee invented everything. Everything. They were the first in every thing, everything. Right?

[@rickyperkins232]

​@@simonmonty7171I have heard these Haters and Naysayers running their mouths for 3 years now with the biggest being Clint at Tool Review Zone to this guy resorting to name calling. This Naysayers is silly at best.

[@peeposadboy]

Probably coming from a guy who owns maybe one or two Milwaukee tools. I’m a General Contractor and my tool box was all Milwaukee however in the past year/year and half, my tools in my tool box has slowly been replaced with flex tools to the point I carry more flex tools than Milwaukee. The only Milwaukee tools I carry are ones flex don’t have or ones I haven’t made the switch yet too or if I need the umph from forge batteries.
