Using the new Flex rear Handel saw

[@andyprairiedog]

Very nice performer on those boards. The saw dust deflector, battery pusher-detents and the notches you mentioned in your earlier video are a nice touch too.

Yes I really enjoyed this saw cut a whole bunch off camera and it worked beautifully

@justbuildit bro u were right the xgt saw 45 kerf is off which kind of sucks. Bought the flex rear handle also and all the kerfs are on point perfect. Also the flex seems to cut straighter for me for some reason.

Yeah it’s a downer ..

Flex is badass man I love um waiting on a orbital sander and miter saw wonder when they will be bringing that out

This thing is amazing. The moment I saw it at Lowe’s, I thought if I needed another one and I am glad I did. It really cuts nice and it doesn’t bug down. I am debating if I should sell my Milwaukee. I already have the Metabo HPT (sold my Makita for this) and this Flex. I just don’t see the point in investing Makita anymore because they are pushing more towards xgt and that’s an expensive line up.

[@ovi1013]

I couldn’t agree with you more I have a lot of tools but I do have all the best ones Flex makes I believe that it’s a powerhouse of tool composition coming from flex .. in second faze of tools we get not only a battery platform to surpass the opponent’s but reverse capability is amazing and not to mention the older batteries also fit the new tools that had me hooked .. I want a miter saw table saw orbital sander to be next I hope the bring that out soon

[@ProxyFinal]

@Weltall8000 it’s a great saw. Very light. It’s actually cheaper than the Makita 36v and it only uses one battery as opposed to 2. The deals are better with Metabo HPT than Makita. Sometimes they will give you a free starter kit at no extra cost.

[@ProxyFinal]

@@ovi1013 to be honest, I don’t understand all the hate flex has been getting. Just don’t watch those face off videos and try the tools to see what the deal is. Right now, Flex is doing the same buy more save more deal which it’s exactly the same as the Milwaukee @ Home Depot, so they are now giving what people want as far as promotion goes. The difference is that kits and batteries are part of that buy more save more as well instead of just bare tools. People need to stop being bias towards the brand.

@Weltall8000 I love it especially the size and weight

Great video and channel! Question for you: Im just starting doing DIY type projects around the house, I don't have any saws (no circular/wormdrive or miter or table). I want a versatile saw - something that could be used for other purposes so I was leaning towards the mobile saws like the Flex circular sidewinder, inline saw, and Flex's rear handle saw vs the table or miter saw. Let me know if you think I am mistaken in wanting to lean towards these more portable saws vs miter or table saw. Having said that, if you had to pick one, which portable hand saw would you recommend: Flex's sidewinder, this rear handle or their in-line saw? I would want smooth accurate cuts to be able to replicate a miter and table saw for general all purpose versatility. I'm not a framer, nor do I make furniture or anything just a general hobbyist but I would be interested to make anything so I want a saw that is versatile enough to accommodate for any project in the future. Look forward to your advice!

@@ne0nlightz first things first thank you for the compliment.. secondly go with the inline 6.5 saw if your right handed .. the sidewinder is a good second choice the rear handle gets some getting used to but is my favorite saw if I do say so.. the sidewinder has a bigger table/shoe so it might be more smother for long cuts against a rail or board if you are going to want a straight cut

[@ne0nlightz]

@@ovi1013 thanks so much! Really appreciate the view as I was kind of leaning against the rear handle over in-line or sidewinder because rear handle is like 12 lbs for bare tool vs 8lbs bare tool for in-line and 11 lbs for the sidewinder. Regarding the sidewinder, it seems like it doesnt have a dedicated dust port like the in-line or rear handle saw. Would that be a fair take? Dust collection would be important for me cause I live in Canada and it can get cold outside so there may be times where I'd want to cut in my garage vs outside and having a good dust port would be key and the in-line and rear handle both have really nice dust ports vs sidewinder which just looks like the dust spits out the side of the blade unfortunately. Lastly, if I was leaning towards the in-line due to the weight and dedicated dust port then is there any kind of material that the in-line saw is not good at cutting vs the sidewinder/rear handle? Or would it just be a bit slower because its less torque? Since Im not doing anything professionally if its just going to be a bit slower cause its smaller that wouldnt really bother me but if the in-line saw wouldnt be able to cut certain materials than I may want to consider the sidewinder/rear handle saw instead.

[@ovi1013]

@@ne0nlightz get the in line and you will be ok it has great depth of cut for a 6.5 blade.. and vacuum ready.. you will love it

[@2hotscottpro]

I think my m18 vac is full of crap in turbine after 1 light use.Ever get one unclogged? Yah those spring detents are cool for bat removal.I’m all sawed out so won’t be buying one soon 😂 Red,yellow n blue so far 😂

[@ovi1013]

I have a bunch of saws 🪚 lol more than I deserve but I can’t get enough

[@2hotscottpro]

Hey ,FYI I looked at vac.The hose is bigger then the throat it goes into clogging it up.What a crap design. Oh yaw too many saws? They call me machine gun impact or 😂

[@baseballdude8491]

Look decent but prefer the new Metabo HPT 36V rear handle Lightest but still super powerful

[@ovi1013]

@@baseballdude8491 I have the metabo aswell and I love the weight but what I love about this one is the light ,dust blower and power

[@ovi1013]

I have them both aswell but I prefer the makita.. but rn I’m using the flex at work .. I can’t wait to try the new compact line

[@rickyperkins232]

What are the advantages and disadvantages to this saw? I have the Milwaukee rear handle and I am thinking about buying this saw as a backup or second saq

[@ovi1013]

It’s way better than the Milwaukee brother I have it too and this saw it just a beast with all the features you would need
