Until my tools start making me money, I'm sticking with Ryobi. With Home Depot daily deals and Direct Tool Outlet, the pricing allows me to invest in a lot of specialty tools that I would never be able to afford with the contractor brands. They aren't the most powerful or the most rugged but I've never had a Ryobi tool fail and they do what I need them to do as a homeowner and DIYer.

I been using Milwaukee tools for about 25 plus years, I never had any problems with them except for batteries not charging and not holding a charge, but that's expected with any brand. I'll continue to use Milwaukee tools for life and will not change...

Coming from someone heavily invested in Milwaukee, FLEX is on some other level man. I’ve got their online circ saw, came with a 5.0bat, carry case, charger, for same price as my normal (NON in-line) m18 fuel circ with no goodies. Flex saw, even being in-line, has some serious ass

They have more power because they are higher voltage. Easy to math that out. No one talks about battery run times in comparison. No one wants to use a 2 pound battery on a drill all day long. They are great tools just like Milwaukee or dewalt and you wouldn’t be wrong in buying them it just is hard to jump ship when I’m 10-20k deep in the red brand

Flex is older than people think.. they started making tools in Germany 🇩🇪 in 1922

I wish Chervon would upgrade the SKIL platform like flex they could sell tools and play some badge magic ✨

It depends on price. If the range of tools is good, I'd probably consider them. I recently had all my makita kit stolen, so i upgraded to Erbauer as it had a good tool range, was cheap, and to be fair, they do the job. They're a bit bulkier but got me back on my feet at an affordable price.

??????We have been looking in to getting a better lineup flex tools looks like it might be a pretty good fit what tool would you suggest that we purchase first I saw hammer drill😮??????

Well too bad I just bought the Milwaukee trim router…lol!

I made the mistake of starting to switch from dewalt to Milwaukee huge mistake Milwaukee tools aren’t that good they just have a cult following dewalt are far superior tools

Flex tools are awesome they are probably one of the best tools on the market unfortunately the size of their brand is not adequate and their batteries at least for the cylindrical sells lithium-ion they're not good batteries they put a lot of power out but lately we've been finding tons of batteries that are leaking black thermal gel so the tools are awesome they need to really upgrade their batteries to batteries that don't leak thermal gel outside of that I would say flex is going to put everybody under the table because in most cases flexes the most powerful tool on the market hope you guys have better luck with flex than I did 💯🇺🇸💪

Craftsman trim router?

I am switching to Flex. Neither Milwaukee nor DeWalt can match the Flex cordless circular saws. The Flex 6 1/2" belt drive cordless worm saw has a dust port, no dust goes back in your face, and it cuts deeper than any other 7 1/4" saw on the market due to its belt drive. It also has crazy power and the correct blade speed (5,500rpm). The Milwaukee #2732, I tried 2 of them new from Home Depot and both have a misaligned shoe (foot plate) that is 0.020" out of parallel with the blade. You cannot saw with a straight edge guide unless the shoe is perfectly parallel to the blade. The Flex saw I brought home was absolutely perfectly parallel; the shoe is dead parallel to the blade, not even 0.001" out of alignment (using machinist measuring tools). The Flex apparently has better quality control on the saws. Both Milwaukees I brought home were unable to make a clean cut using a straight edge guide, the Flex cuts perfectly, no blade marks or burning. The Flex warranty is also a lifetime warranty right now until the end of this year. They are offering new customers who buy anything before 2024 a lifetime warranty. People have reported that Flex is very generous and will simply mail you a new battery if you call and complain. They don't require an expensive RMA return exchange.

They need a stacked lithium 12v line of tools, everyone wants to say they got the biggest, best tool but most people just want a lighter and smaller tool that does the same job

I'm a big fan of the Flex brand and have a fair bit of their line up. I'm very happy with them, but I absolutely agree that their tool line up is fairly limited as of right now.

Made from the creators of EGO, enough said. U can love or hate features in the Flex tools, but u can't homestly question the quality of the tools. When u look and feel the tools, they are very nice like the ego products. And im a heavily jnvested milwaukee guy m18 & m12. Milwaukee, Flex and EGO is what I currently rock.

German company bought by a company who manufactures in China

Flex tools get very hot you can feel the heat on your hands , routers, drills multi cutter exc.

Ryobl is a subsidiary of Milwaukee 👍

No, I'm not buying into another battery platform.

Lowe's been pulling those off the shelves. Chervon, the company that makes them is losing money.

Battery recall

Fe sharpens fe. Flat earth sharpens flat earth. Genesis 1:6 the firmament that separates the waters above from the waters below. The Bible is the truth my friend

Lol They are not new this company is over 90 years old. They are from Germany and They are the inventor of the angle grinder. Stop missinform people

😂😂😂 read the title didn’t watch video. I will not choose a stores knockoff

the “New Harbor Freight”. Just at Wally’s house : 24/7 availability, priced right to get you out of jamb and they’re everywhere.

Flex is basically pro level diy at the moment due to their selection cuz they are so new still. I have so many tools at work that flex jus doesnt offer. I do have a couple flex tools by the way cuz im a tool nut. Primarily metal working tools for me and then some concrete tools. Some of the tools i have most homeowners wont have and neither does flex. Also the pricing is just not there yet cuz they arent so big yet and i mean like for a deal hunter like me. I have found a bunch of 5ah powerstacks, regular powerstacks, flexvolts like no problem for way better prices then the retail whether its offerup or ebay or w/e and that stuff is still new. Very difficult to come across flex for good prices. Ive also sold things myself and flex jus so difficult to sell i didnt get as much as i thought i would.

How many tools does the average person need or use? Specialized tools are a niche sector.

Look me clean 😜 so far I have a couple of there power tools. And so far I’m happy with. And since I have a few I’d stick to it so they can all use the same batteries

Flex competition is Bauer.

From my experience, FLEX is right on par with Milwaukee. They're aiming at the best of them. They're under the DeWalt umbrella so... They don't have the selection that any of the other big guys have. However, that can be a benefit to some.

Flex tools has been dumping insane amounts of money on creators to push their tools.

Flex tools can go get wrecked. I she dewalt mostly, some Milwaukee and a Bosch router / hammer drill. Had flex, several and just kept getting mad at them so I said no.
