The best kinda 💪 So glad they decided to renew the lifetime warranty for this year as well 🔥

IF you register within 30 days of purchase.

Have you had to warranty anything yet? Just how good is this warranty? Can you walk into Lowes and grab a new one off the shelf? Everything breaks eventually and the actual cost of this warranty will come home to roost in the following years. For now they are kicking this cost(can) down the road. How long will Flex continue with this Founders Warranty? Cutting off the warranty may dis way future buyers that "didn't get in". It does seem like this is the first year we are seeing any decent deals on Flex, perhaps this is the make or break year for this line of tools, because the last couple of years these tools have been sitting on Lowes shelves not selling and knowing the nature of lithium batteries if they don't move them off the shelves within a couple years ...they will go bad. Maybe they can improve the shelf life of batteries with a dual charge system that includes some form of induction charging, in this way you could recharge the batteries through the packaging.

@3vil3lvis yeah warranty is amazing the chuck finally stared to fail not the tool but the chuck they sent me a new 1, let me keep the old 1 within 4 days I still use the old 1 for videos still works ok drops bits but good enough for videos but not on a job

I thought they stopped that in 2021 and now it's 5 years

YES EXACTLY 💯 people miss out because not every brand has the best everything but that 1 had recip is Fire!! the collet thing for the blade is soooo good!

Thanks I'm getting better quickly !

Yup The drawers is where it's at for any box!

The drawers and 12" Sliding Miter saw seems to be the 2 biggest requested from FLEX

@@rickyperkins232 I really want to try the sander!

@@toolsandtactics did you know FLEX has a dry wall sander that is battery powered in Germany right now as we speak.

@@rickyperkins232 yeah they also have 12v tools for cars

Haha. 👍

​@@DiligentDave1966they break often. It's about their only weakness.

yeah the milwaukee line is still freaking awesome flex still doesnt have enough tools to fully switch, I still find myself using the dewalts with smaller power stacks we have reached the point where 1 battery cn last all day in an impact

@Tools and Tactics guess I was too late. I just looked up the cutout tool and it's $99

end of this year!

Also which direction does it blow the saw dust cus the dewalt kinda blows it in your face

Your right ! The m12 is crazy I really like how the dewalt snaps the blades in we need a collab lol

Yeah very true! I ran m12 for so long, I had every tool then this came out tried it realized how much more pwer i was missing out on dewalt started offering powerstack and compact tools with serious power sold all the m12 went with dewalt and flex

Wow thanks for the feedback how much was the kit? Thought they fixed it. The stacked lithium doesn't leak and is awesome Seems like an issue for kits bought after the first year of thier rollout None of my original batteries leaked ever. My buddy gave me 1 the other day and it leaked too

Ok thanks!

yeah some are!

yeah!

That's cool I want that light just because of the size alone hard to justify tho i have me m18 rocket tower lol 1st gen

No but the 1st gen batteries have an issue with the cooling liquid comming out only a bummer because it make a mess didn't seem to make a difference on performance they fixd it now and will warranty the batteries from what I understand

That's not such a straightforward answer, Short would be. I wish I had more. We had two roofs Shingles in the attic the roof Leaked, I got very sick like deathly sick and had to throw away everything I've ever owned. And restart I spent two hundred thousand dollars on just stuff cars clothes appliances. Down payment on new house. It's been pretty crazy

Yeah they all are good!

yeah i have heard that from a few people, flex says its ok...i don't see how! but they do have a lifetime warranty and 1 i opened up has a black wet spot inside

@@toolsandtactics flex says its ok??😳 That right there erodes my confidence in them even more. If its truely battery acid then its not ok. If its its something else...then what? Lube?? Considering the price of their batteries maybe its lubrication....🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

@@toolsandtactics the package i bought first was more than a "spot". 1/2 of the battery was covered in it. It took a sheet of paper towel to wipe up the battery and there was plenty left in the plastic package.... I suppose if one of their stack lithium batteries have a "thermal event" they will say thats normal too?!!

@Uncle Fester hahah I'll dig up a convo with some other community members see if I can se exactly what they said very vague tho just that it's not abnormal... but not to worry and they replaced it haha sounds like bs!!

@@toolsandtactics i googled it and ever result i saw for it said it was battery acid. If thats true then their assembly workers must be sloshing acid around like the sweedish chef on the muppets did with flour....

yeah kobalt is solid especially the xtr!

Maybe but also they extended the lifetime warranty

They wouldn't want to extend a warranty on a table or miter saw

Yeah insane obviously not for long but yes! Empties the debris completely I gotta show it on a live soon remind me !

@@toolsandtactics definitely! I gotta see that. I just lug the heavy sob out in the yard and don’t even attempt collection on it lol. My 12 gallon corded Ridgid vac won’t even work well enough to try.

@Griffin Woodworks LOL MY RIDGID DOES ok it is the newer 1 with a pretty high cfm I did 3 or 4 1x4 cedar pickets for a glue up for band saw box the flex handled it ! But nothing long lived

I saw a 300 lb man, torn off his ladder when he chucked a 6incher to a hole hawg 🤣 drilling through a roof

Right now you get a free tool when you buy a 3.5 ah battery and charger. Amazing.

The 1 handed recip is amazing!

Yeah, hard to argue those points I do like the smaller drawers from dewalt though!

I have the inline circ saw. I love the saw. The battery that came with it is good. However i picked up a second 5ah battery last sunday and discovered it was leaking a black goo. It was battery acid. Lowes changed it out. The salesperson checked all the batteries in the case and they were all ok. But makes me wonder if their QC is doing its job?? I have had many milwaukee battery failures but none ever leaked. Not really thrilled with any brand at the moment.

the DeWalts been goin hard lately!

@@toolsandtactics are the dewalt stack lithium batteries living up to expectations??

It's a great platform with the stacked lithium

Nice ergonomics

Yessir!

Ok thx

yeah the jig saw as far at setting itssef apart is Bonkers hahah! like GAPS the others just have a different preference or style but yes all are good get the stacked lithium 3.5 buy the kit get the tool free deal

Thx for feedback

What it tells me is your brain might be a little slow…..
