Channels like yours have made me decide to buy the Flex turbo hammer drill. I’m just a DIYER, but I need a powerful drill on occasion. I also don’t need a bunch of tools, so the limited Flex lineup doesn’t bother me. I also don’t need to stick with one platform, so I actually have Ridgid tools for my automotive work because I found daily specials on the mid torque impact wrench and the 3/8 ratchet. I ended up getting the one with the stacked lithium battery after seeing so many videos about the standard lithium batteries leaking. I ended up spending more money, but I feel that the stacked lithium battery is superior.

Great review brotha. You brought up a very important point that people miss. You committed to using a new tool brand and that made you really appreciate things they do right. A lot of other people try Flex out and than just go back to their Dewalt, Makita or Milwaukee without really testing the tools. I have been absolutely digging my Flex tools and have put them through some serious torture on the job site.

As a lifetime mechanic my skil tools have never done me wrong. In the hands of a pro almost any tool becomes a pro tool.

I like flex's fan. That is dope. And the drill power cannot be denied. Wish they had a hydraulic impact that was quiet. I also like the stacked battery cells. Will be watching them closely into the future.

Legit review. No one brand to get it right but FLEX does it about 90% right (only based on what they haven't released yet). You said a lot of what I have to say, real-time usage, none of that micro second performance boost BS in fake situations, appreciate the weight and get stronger if you can't handle it (note to most people -> get stronger, and also train Jiu-Jitsu). Loved the rant, real talk. Best choice I made was to give up the Makita 18V and go with FLEX 24V. I probably said it before but let's see that compound miter! AND be the first to make the compact table saw.

Wow I have to say, you make such an important point: nobody cares about a speed contest. Reliability, durability, and function are of paramount import. I am annoyed by a saw reviewer here on KZfaq called "4thewin" who complained that he couldnt cut 4 triple stacked MDF sheets lengthwise as fast as possible with the Flex 24V right blade saw, because it got hot and did a thermal stop. Nobody buys a cordless saw intending to cut 30 feet of 2 1/4" thick MDF as fast as possible all at once without stopping. Every tool has a specific focus and for super heavy cutting you use a low RPM worm drive saw, not a much higher RPM right blade "sidewinder" saw. These unrealistic torture tests on KZfaq only measure outright maximum motor performance under totally unrealistic conditions where the person is trying to force the machine to stall. The Milwaukee #2732 doesn't overheat very easily but it doesn't cut straight, is severely misaligned from the factory due to poor quality control, and has a very notchy and unreliable safety trigger lock, as well as a horrendous loud motor whine.

Great video Brother! Liked and Subscribed, I’m also in the middle of a transition and loving every step of the way!

Had my truck broken into and a lot of my tools stolen including a lot of my makita power tools taken. Have been using makita for 20 years as an hvac contractor. Made the switch to Flex. Couldn’t be happier with how they perform and feel in my hands. Glad I made the switch

Best reviews on this platform by far! Thank brother

You are my new favorite KZfaqr.. I am looking at picking up a few tools to add to my total set. I was looking at Ridgid, Ryobi, Bauer and Milwaukee, as well as Flex. After testing a Flex drill at Lowe's the other day and watching a few of your videos, I am considering selling off my Ryobi tools (Belt Sander, Sander, Oscillating Tool) and my Ridgid Drill and Impact Driver and putting that money toward the Flex suite of tools. A bit more research and consideration to do, but Flex has my attention, for sure. Thank you for your videos!

I just saw this post and completely agree with u. I am on the dewalt platform just simply due to their battery platform I just the other day bought the Flex hammer drill to try it and have to say I love the hard case love the drill love that it came with 2 batteries but when I opened the case I discovered that both batteries had a black goo substance on them I did see on line that their batteries do leak at times this goo but it's fine so I wiped them off processed to charge them and they both leaked on the charger so wiped them off again along with the charger and tried the drill like I said love the drill lots of power the turbo cut out fairly fast no big deal probably wouldn't use it much anyway I'm just disappointed with the batteries they kept leaking the goo

Thanks for the info brother. I enjoyed the video. Just left Lowe's and wanted to get and understanding of what FLEX is all about. Appreciate and respect your opinion!

I love flex power tools Just brought two power tools. Now I am buying the entire flex power tools. And I will be buying other tool brands as well, but most of all my tools will be flex. I pray that flex build a flex 12 inch miter chop saw and a flex track saw.

Just purchased yesterday and I'm a locksmith and plan on drilling 10 plus wood doors for new locks can't wait to try I'm switching from ridgid and I have pretty much purchased everything ridgid has to offer and have purchased many flex tools and vacuum I hope they plan on making a bunch more tools in the flex line .Thanks for the video.And I purchased for the battery life and charging time .Real contractor used

I bought two Flex 24V circular saws and two Milwaukee #2732 cordless circular saws. Both Flex saws are perfectly aligned out of the box and have a parallel shoe, making perfect cuts. The Milwaukee saws are both 0.020" out of parallel between the blade and shoe plate, so they are useless for precision cuts using a long straight edge guide. The Flex motors are also very pleasant sounding, the Milwaukee sounds horrible with a sharp shrill gear whine and motor whine that hurts your ears.

I’m pretty excited to try out the Flex brand.

Just got the light, stacked hammer drill kit and the stacked impact wrench kit for $765 after tax yesterday. 18 tools in so far!

Spot on. Best tools on the market for sure

How many weeks did you use that flex rear handle saw?

Before you said anything I knew about those negative comments. Knew what you were gonna say. Your at the job site they’re in a garage. So I’ll trust you over them. Put that work in bro 💪🏻

Impact Nation has some great videos using Flex tools too.

I'm investing in flex iv only got a few things so far but I do have the flex quick eject impact and it's hands down the best impact on the market and I also own the Milwaukee fuel gen 3. Yes it might be a little heavier but it's all around better, faster, stronger

Me personally I don’t have a problem with Flex it’s just my platform of choice is hands down Dewalt I’m not going to knock someone for using a Flex tool hey do you 💯

Good review, biggest downside of flex for me is the smaller tool selection

Fair points but you have to admit that the Flex promo videos with paid actors are WHACK. Like why? Let the tools stand on their own

That's right brotha Speak the truth 👍

what brand of impact drill bits or you just use flex bits

I'm also a framer and would like to see some real world testing on the job site

As a plumber those tools are definitely heavier and yes I own some, wanted the one hand recip saw but once I picked it up with out a battery was crazy heavy, quality is nice but not my cup of tea and mine will stay home

FLEX definitely is top for the tools they make. However….. they need to get other tools like press tools, pex expansion, right angle hole hawgs etc The basic tools are nice but it’s the compact and specialty tools that FLEX needs to get going on. I know you need to cover the basic tools to start a company but people like myself buy into a brand for the specialty tools “even though I have all the FLEX tools”

I have a 24 volt flex drill and it's a piece of crap one battery was defective right out of the box which they replaced a year later both batteries are bad just spent 2 hours on hold had to leave my number !!!

BRO I JUST GOT A SET THANK YOU FOR HONEST REVIEWS 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Flex bad ass. Milkwalkee guns. Flex drills amd saws

🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️

Flex 4 lyfe!

Flex should pay you my dude haha. You’re selling me on this platform. Wonder if flex will release a battery nailer like Milwaukee. But not so damn heavy. They are awful for that. Should do a trailer layout video

Any contractor has enough batteries not to worry about charge time. And contractors get paid by the job so the amount of time it takes a hammerdrill to bore through a triple joist with a 2inch forstner bit matters so much. You didn't even know the name of your SDS rotary hammer, so i actually think you're a paid actor. Lmfao.

Thanks for the entertainment, funniest video I’ve seen in a while. So you received a bunch a Free Flex Tools and sold out because you can’t spend the money on the best cordless 60v line of tools, Dewalt. No professional framers use that crap line of fake tools and fake claims. By the way your , intro pic shows a massive amount of OSHA violations , men sitting on walls above 8 ft and on the top step of a ladder? A man with untethered tools on another ladder with no spotter? Osb sub floor ? Not advantec? You should focus on some safety protocols before hyping a Chinese company over American made tools.
