Leaked FLEX Impacts vs Milwaukee & DeWALT

Our lifetime worth of TOOL RANKINGS are updated every week: torquetestchan...
DeWALT Atomic here: amzn.to/3sw0tkI
Today we test two secret little guys with FLEX written on the outside of them. Are they FLEX's new compact impact wrenches? Who knows for sure, but it's not our jobs to wear the suits and return emails to the big guys, so frankly not sure we care! They look like impacts os let's test 'em vs DeWALT DCF921 Atomic and Milwaukee Gen 3.

This week's video is being published early as it looks like Flex is starting to show these off at STAFDA (which I think is awesome), go check out VCG's video as well! And as usual, no we don't work with any brands including Flex. So they might be even more surprised we had these than you are

Can you please do a test on the manual impact wrenches? I'm pretty sure there's a Snap On one, called the Swench and it seems to be very powerful

[@RetiredEE]

Someday, in the distant future, there will be portable tools in the kilovolt class. The mind- (and arm-) bending torque may require entirely new metallurgy for fasteners, and three or more burly men to control. The TTC will by then have become the dominant force in all entertainment, and stadiums will have been converted to torque-dueling arenas, with graphs' y-axes now reaching into tens or even hundreds of kilofoot-pounds (pound-feet having been banned by popular vote). It will be glorious.

Bought the DeWalt based on y'all's review a week after that video came out. Glad to see its still topping charts. Still hits like a little champ for me.

[@BDauto86]

So did I. I love the M12 stubby but the batteries rattle loose. So far the DeWalt has been solid but battery cracked on 1 drop.

[@kraftzion]

I know in an auto shop weight doesn't matter much. I spent my life working in the hvac trade, all my tools have to be carried to the chiller, boiler, cooling tower, etc that I am working on. Which is usually not very close to were I park. So power per pound would be of interest to me.

[@jinxtacy]

I would disagree and say weight does matter in an automotive shop. I mostly concerned with operation though and the initial kick. I'm slightly curious as to what feels better because if you look at some of these tools they ramp so hard which is nice if it gets the fastener off, but I wonder about if it doesn't, how much force is transferred into the user? Maybe the ones with a slightly softer start but then ramps up feel better but I'm really not sure. As far as what you're looking for, all the data is there you just have to divide whichever metric interests you by the weight of that model. Unfortunately, you're not investing into a tool unless you have a consistent workload. They have a few videos on brands like DeWalt and Milwaukee and how much power you need to do certain jobs in their opinion. It seems these days you have to look at the EU for leadership and they seem to invest heavily into worker health and creating standards and determinations on damaging things to workers health in professional environments. It's never really bad to look out for yourself long term. I would say in automotive a lot of times. It's the toll that actually fits that gets used but if there was a choice to have a little bit more weight that lessens the strain on the user it could be worth it as long as the weight isn't what's causing damage either.

if only there was a kobalt 24v adapter to go use the batteries on flex tools. I want to try some out and use them. Not enthused about having to buy practically the same battery in a new molding while costing a fair bit more though lol. Great vid as always. Video idea for testing pressure washers would be awesome. so many claims of psi and other units of measure yet no validation, especially with the spree of cordless ones that have come out. Comparing against, corded, gas and cordless is something that I and hopefully others would be included to see.

[@animefreak5757]

the ironic thing is, psi on a pressure washer usually doesn't mean all that much when it comes to getting work done. A unit with half the psi and double the flow will clean circles around the higher psi model.

[@madjackgamingandfitness498]

It’s a good point. I like their tools and bought their angle grinder combo because it was cheaper and has better functions than the standard brands at the price point. But their tools and batteries are stupid expensive for such limited range in tools. That makes a high barrier of entry to switch.

The made in Japan Makita Impact Driver uses the same style of fuse. Uncle Bumblefuck has a video of taking one apart and I'm certain it even used a 40A, too.

[@brandonlove3444]

I'm so glad you brought attention to the size of their batteries. A tool isn't really compact if there's a huge battery hanging off the end. There really isn't an excuse with the lithium pouch battery. They need at least one compact battery like Dewalt's small powerstack. If you ask me this should be a priority for them. I have their quick eject impact driver, it's still brand new, never used it. There's just way more lighter/smaller (battery) options out there.

I just saw an ad from the local snap-on truck for what appears to be a new stubby 3/8ths impact that advertises 575 lbft. I cant remembered the model number but would be interested to see that comparison.

I thought the same. Maybe they copied Man Caver Tools' homework with the Frankenstein Milwaukee.

[@starseeddeluxe]

You know, as a home user, I always reach for the 3/8" air impact instead of my 1/2" air impact, because the 3/8" feels so much more enjoyable with the faster impulse rate. There's something more enjoyable about the smaller, higher frequency impacts. It's purely a subjective experience, but I don't enjoy the clunky slow rattles from the 1/2" impact as much.

[@c.garison3770]

Great video. I would not trade the DCF923B that I picked up last month for either of these even if I got a stack of free batteries and a charger to go with the flex. I love the hard hits of the DeWalt which let you control how tight you can get a fastener with the Precision Wrench setting if you do not want to wreck the piece you are repairing. The smaller impact drivers just does not have that kind of control like the DCF923B. It is a game changer for me.

[@balsqueak]

Same for me man. Picked up a dcf921 a while back and it’s my go to now and whatever my 921 can’t get off (which usually isn’t a whole hell of a lot) my 891 takes care of. And for the few REALLY bad bolts it’s the 900. Those are the only 3 wrenches I really use these days. The wrench mode is such a convenience.

[@BDauto86]

I got a 921 also to try against my Milwaukees, it feels good in the hand, good trigger control and good power. Pretty hard to beat for size vs power and cost.

[@ninjmaster5609]

[@louiewiessv5756]

Probably loosing power as it gets hotter due to resistance rising as the motor wires get hotter.

[@djsi38t]

Awesome...I have long touted the Dewalt DCF 921 as the"king"of impacts because of it's tiny size and enormous power.Great job by flex with this one.Although it did not really beat the 921...it is a bit shorter...but bigger around so...I would say...almost guys...but Dewalt still is king in my opinion.And oh yeah....Don't buy that outdated milwaukee stubby with the 921 on the market!.

[@connor3288]

How is the dewalt fastener mode though? On videos i have seen on milwaukee vs dewalt, the milwaukee fastener mode looked superior to me, on tightening mode, stopping at lower torque rating, and staying stopped with trigger held. Where the dewalt would initially stop at higher torque, but after a sec or 2 if you still had trigger pulled, it would start tightening more. I like dewalt price and power, but wish it had the milwaukee fastener mode.

a long neck ratchet would be nice, but high power video ideas like flex 12ah on kobalt xtr impact for a XTRR nut buster (as said by another commentor)

[@bleach_drink_me]

@TorqueTestChannel unfortunately so am I. I feel they are focusing on Flex and the most we will see from kobalt is a refresh on drills, drivers and maybe the saw. If they keep the line that would be great too. I mean I do see from a business perspective not keeping the kobalt line up to date. They have Flex and Craftsman. The koblat tools they have now aren't terrible and would make a decent "value line" as they age. Imo

[@bleach_drink_me]

@dancearoundtheworld5360 a long neck ratchet would be nice for sure. I find the ratchet they have to be unusable for a lot of jobs due to the size of the body with the short neck. I did find the Skil 12v ratchet to be a good size to fit in more places. I picked it up a couple years ago for ~$100 for the kit. It's actually my go to. I pick it over the kobalt or milwaukee most of the time. The milwaukee isn't a bad tool so don't flame me,I just like the extra hand space of the skil, I don't have to grip the battery on it like I do the milwaukee. However if you need a long ratchet, the milwaukee is your best bet if you got it.

Super new to the power tool scene and thought since I’m starting out and have no clue what I’m doing, now is the perfect time to take a chance on Flex since we are both start ups 😂 (yes I now flex has been around via its parent company for over many many years). I only got the Flex compact combo for $199 and decided I will buy as I grow. I also got the Skil circular saw as I wanted to stay within the same family and Flex and Skil are under the same parent company. I have no clue if my buy and choice of brand was a good decision, but I’m ignorant enough in the world of power tools that ignorance will be bliss in my case. My new year’s resolution was to start building things and stop buying them, like simple bookcases and storage shelves. Let’s see what happens.

as much as i love that flex is bringing competition, i don't think i'd buy this even if it was significantly "more powerful". i'f i'm hammering on this for hours, i would be worried about the heat.

[@animefreak5757]

if your using it for work, time is money. I've seen lots of guys kill some milwaukee tools repeatedly, but by the time the warranty is out they've made enough money off the extra power that they really don't care. It's why i often prefer less power dense tools, as a home gamer i like my stuff to last a decade or more, and when i need more power, i just get a bigger tool.

[@solomonshv]

@@animefreak5757 i don't have an issue with power tools dying, but if the tool overheats and needs time to cool down while on the job, that's a problem. i had that issue with a flex hammer drill. i got one of their new models when it was on sale at acme but ended up shelving it because it kept overheating and shutting down. lots of user reviews seem to indicate the same issue. this tool appears to have heat issues too, according to this review. hopefully it gets fixed by the time the final product is out

[@pflaffik]

No need to hammer for hours, true to tradition it will overheat in less than half an hour.

[@starseeddeluxe]

I did buy 4 Flex power tools, and so far, every tool and battery has performed perfectly. One thing about Milwaukee; I've had 4 Milwaukee tools fail, electronically. The Milwaukee M18 tools cannot be considered as a highly reliable tool. I own 10 or so different M18 tools, and 2 of the models have died on a consistent basis, and I'm a very careful user. That's a 20% failure rate. Both of my M18 impacts died after only 1 year of normal use, indoors only, and never left in the rain ever--due to electronic speed control failure. Both of my M18 round canister vacuums failed electronically, after ONLY using them to pickup cat hair indoors (I had to remove the digital speed controller and voltage regulator and shunt the motor directly to the battery to make them work again). In both cases, I went and bought a new model, only to have the new model fail exactly the same way. I've not heard of Flex (or Hercules) having the same reliability issues. Overheating and stopping momentarily is totally fine. Failing permanently from normal humidity and moisture is not ok. The Milwaukee tools don't overheat, but they certainly fail routinely, which appears to be a problem with their electronics being more fragile than some of the other brands. M18 tools are a good value, for their performance, but they are not as reliable as the old brushed power tools.

I wonder if you could improve performance on an impact wrench like this by rigging up some sort of water cooling, to help it dissipate heat faster.

Liquid nitrogen should deliver maximum performance, although the shrapnel from shattering sockets might be a sub-optimal byproduct 🫤

[@pl5624]

Only use outside in the winter...

[@Comm0ut]

Not in any mobile application so it's pointless compared to pneumatic tools which are self-cooling in operation. A pump, pack and radiator are too bulky and a finned Peltier cooler would be bulky and devour amps. Not everything needs to be electric and people needing what air does buy pneumatics, I use epicyclic manual torque multipliers, corded, cordless and pneumatic tools as suits the job. (BTW driving pneumatics for short periods off CO2 cylinders works nicely and you can use the same vapor withdrawal CO2 cylinders for wire welding and rapid tire inflation in the field like many off-roaders do.) The solultion is not just more beans but variety of beans.

[@coyoteseattle]

@@Comm0ut I won't argue with you, there. I wasn't thinking of water cooling to be useful; I just occasionally appreciate horribly over-engineered and impractical "solutions", like that gas-powered milwaukee impact conversion Torque Test Channel did a video on last year. :p Also, good tip with the CO2 cylinders!

1.) Flex has the best circular saws on the market (in the category of cordless saws, under $400). Makita, and Festool are good, but too expensive. 2.) The Flex circular saws have better quality control, are aligned perfectly, have a bolted foot plate (not permanently riveted) and a smoother sounding motor than the M18 saws, and have a heavy cast (not thin stamped aluminum like the Dewalt) foot plate. Overall the Flex circular saws are as good as the Makita flagship 40V model which costs $250 more. 3.) Flex drills, impacts, and saws, are all quieter than M18 Milwaukee tools. For some reason M18 tools have a loud "scream" to the motor which is actually very fatiguing. 4.) Flex ergonomics are excellent (like Dewalt and Milwaukee M18 tools). M12 Milwaukee tools have a very poor form factor, unless you're directly descended from Vikings. 5.) I've had 2 Milwaukee M18 impact drivers, and two M18 vacuums fail electronically, while only being used and stored indoors, and never exposed to rain. 6.) I purchased two M18 flagship circular saws (model 2732) and both saws were misaligned by 0.030" out of the box, due to a stamping error and were permanently riveted together, preventing modification or adjustment. 7.) I purchased two different Flex circular saws, and both were .000" perfectly aligned out of the box, with bolted on foot plates (not permanently riveted). 8.) Flex customer service is apparently really good, with people having warranty claims honored immediately without questions. 9.) A manager of a Lowes store (they sell the Flex brand) told me that Lowes is actively trying to improve their customer service and tool warranty experience, and they are now offering free replacement tools on all their hand tools that fail, and will be offering substantially improved customer service for returns and product support.

looks like they took the man caver tools frankenstein idea and produced it, based on how fast the impacts are

I took apart the battery that came with my Amazon Denali Weedwhacker. 18650/2000 Highstar, are those any good?

[@davislinkcarrillo-mm3qj]

Could you test out the Ridgid 6ah battery and the new 12 ah battery, it’d be interesting to see how much better the 6ah is vs the 4ah given they are the same size. Also maybe test the Ridgid high torque drill and their new impact driver

[@abruptlyblunt]

have you tested the Seesii 800N.m & 1000N.m 1/2 brushless Impacts yet????

[@Haloruler64]

Considering how often they overheat and how hard they're pushed, I wondering if those Flex tools really last. At least I can count on my DeWalt and Milwaukee tools being reliable. Usually. This and that fuse inside is why I stay away from Flex.

[@lr0dy]

While I don't disagree, I'd rather have a burnt out fuse than melted wiring or a burnt out motor.

[@Haloruler64]

@@lr0dy Realistically, the fuse is a prototype thing and won't be there in the final product.

[@lr0dy]

@@Haloruler64 Then, realistically, the fuse inside is a very stupid reason to avoid Flex tools. The other reasons are valid.

Can you do the Masterforce High Torque from Menards? The kit is $300 and it claims 1,200ft-lbs of nut-busting torque. Masterforce is made by the same company as Flex.

The rpm must go to high for the spring to throw the hammer forward on time to strike the anvil. I just don't understand why the manufactures don't compensate for us nut jobs who want to do this.

I just want a new 3/8 stubby m12 with Tri led

[@ChewDigbick-xl3ig]

You should make a gasoline version of the alibaba 1 in impact let it eat

[@taylor2105]

Looks a whole lot like the new wurth electric tools

[@johnathangreay987]

Still on the top. No matter what. 338 to the Dewalt. Hell yeah!! Dewalt is the Emperor. Hell yeah!!!! All hail the Dewalt. Lol.

[@mantisushi]

Can you do the Ryobi compact 1/2"? I don't expect it to be crazy but it'd be nice to see where it stacks up

[@prestigemechanical3600]

Yes buy the FLEX batteries. They are RAW and pack a punch !

[@a1racer441]

im all for the power wears they are doing it brings better stronger smaller cordless tools to us keep up the good work yellow red and grey.

[@matthewpeck4016]

I'd vote for you.

[@christianibarra4859]

I switch from Milwaukee, shits cool

[@kevinaweseom2866]

When does this come out???

[@TheRealGOTdurrrred]

DeWalt beats Milwaukee? This video will give some people nightmares
