Рет қаралды 11,922

Күн бұрын

The new ‪@flexpowertoolsnorthamerica728‬ 24V hybrid jobsite fan can be powered by its 24-volt battery or from a typical extension cord. The brushless motor coupled to an 8-1/2" fan blade delivers up to 1,100 CFM on MAX speed. A variable speed dial allows you to choose the exact speed and output from the FLEX 24V fan. Multiple attachment points make it easy to hang, stand, and even mount to surfaces or tripods. The USB Type C port on the front of the fan provides fast charging for your smartphone and electronic devices. This FLEX FX5471 comes with a 5-year warranty, and by registering your tool before 12/31/22, you get a free upgrade to their lifetime warranty. #lowes #itswhatsnext #flextools #flexstackedlithium

I just noticed brushless tag... It has my attention. The same runtime as the Dewalt. However, the cfm is double. I guess you could say 8 hrs at the same rate. Now if they would just make a vac with brushless for the runtime I would really be convinced.

Yes, we would love to see a brushless vac as well. Thanks for watching.

Caught my interest at Lowes the other day. I use my DeWalt all summer. But double CFM would be nice. I have several 5 and 6 ah DeWalt batteries though. Tough choice. Might have to have a Lowes employee power this thing up for me.

great review. would like to see one on the flex blower behind you on your 5’o clock. there’s no reviews for it yet.

I didn’t know they extended the lifetime warranty through 2022. I bought their biggest kit in late 2021 and haven’t used it much since I’ve been off of work but I wanted that lifetime warranty

Hello would you happen to know if this fan has CC/CV module? If it does then regardless of the batteries SOC the fan on high will output 100% air.

How many watts does this use when plugged into an extension cord??

@Shoptoolreviews Жыл бұрын

Good question. I'm not sure.

@knightofcydonia1192 Жыл бұрын

@@Shoptoolreviews Oh! I forgot to update this; I connected it up via a wattmeter standing in-between the extension cord and the fan and it pulls around 48.4 watts on absolute max. That is just NUTS for 1,100 CFM...! For the same CFM rating on a fan from Walmart, you're easily looking at potentially 78-86 watts or so, and they're not even that much cheaper pricewise on average (unless in terms of cheaper we're talking build quality because those walmart fans are made of absolutely CRAP materials especially when compared to this bad boy).

@zoreander Жыл бұрын

I just want to throw in my findings. Idk how accurate your readings are, but my watt meter is pulling about 28-29 watts on max which feels more in line with what my other fans are pulling. Either way, incredibly impressive for its size and power

@knightofcydonia1192 Жыл бұрын

@@zoreander Thanks for sharing your numbers, they're closely in-line with mine as well, give or take a few more watts. Right??? For its size and power this thing ROCKS.

what's the definition of a ton of air? I heard the same thing about the DeWalt fan. I heard so many claims about how much air it blows and it blows more than the Milwaukee fan and so I purchased one. when I tried the DeWalt fan I was very disappointed. it turned out that the specs didn't match because it claimed it had more CFM than the Milwaukee and the Milwaukee blew more than the DeWalt. I don't know what's use to measure the CFM but it was way off. the faster a blade moves the more air it gives and the louder the fan is and it shows because the Milwaukee is the loudest so I wonder about this flex fan. it's like deja Vu again. so I'm wondering what's a ton of air

@@Jtwizzle I'm not sure but I'm am sure that the Milwaukee does blow way more than the DeWalt but on the other hand the Milwaukee is a very old model and the DeWalt has way better features.
