    I don't get ppl complaining about the weight when the tools are called Flex. They just want us to achieve hypertrophy. Flex cares about our gains.

    I’ve been using flex for a while now and they are great tools. People who get hung up on the China thing forget Milwaukee is made in Vietnam with Chinese parts and dewalt is assembled with “global” (Chinese) materials in the USA. 😂😂

    Point taken. But don’t underplay American assembly. If that’s all we get, it’s still a huge win. Not only economically. We once made the best tools in the world. I have no bias when it comes to quality. I’m here because I haven’t found anything to hold up like DeWalt tools. In ways I liked our cordless Milwaukee better, but every one broke. Meanwhile 20+ year old DeWalts are still going…weak. But going. I’ll begin my Flex experience, but don’t be surprised when they are the next Milwaukee. I’ll bet in 5 years everyone is going after Makita. For my frugal a$$, hope I’m wrong. Do me proud, Flex. I’m yet to see anything but DeWalt take 20’ falls without issue. But I haven’t owned Flex.

    Milwaukee is owned by a Chinese corporation. And now FLEX, a storied German company that brought us the angle grinder, is owned by a Chinese corporation. It is what it is. I'll take FLEX and Milwaukee everyday over DeWalt. (Though I love my Dewalt miter and table saw).

    What people are saying is that companies like Flex or Milwaukee are owned by Chinese companies. The CCP party controls and benefits from the sales of these tool. China and the Communist Party are some of the most evil and corrupt entities on the planet. We should do whatever we can not to contribute to the CCP . Brand loyalty is one thing, but country loyalty comes first tried to by American or of a country that is not Communist.

    Well this would make sense, as black and gray are universal for blending in. Many militaries across the world wear black and grey camo on their BDU's, and they do this for a reason. Just look at our Air force and Naval ships, jets, and helicopters. Their almost always painted black and grey. I think Flex could add just a little of their bright green trim to their tools and batteries and easily eliviate this problem.

    I'm the tool DS at a Lowe's. Several months back, we had a recall on our Flex tools because of the battery failure issues they were having- had to send most of our stock back. We're restocked now so hopefully they got that issue worked out. I don't have any real feedback to offer as we very rarely have anyone purchase this brand in my area so I don't get any feedback from customers. I think the battery issue scared a lot of people away from trying them ? Anyway, good to hear they are a tool I can recommend to people. I'd like to get more of them out in the field to see how they hold up.

    I just switched over to flex from Kobalt and I've been very impressed so far I literally had the entire Lowe's display of Kobalt tools. I used Kobalt for about 13 years and I use my tools. I am not easy on my tools and I don't baby my tools and I was just ready for a change I'll be honest I got a black Dodge ram and my Kobalt blue tools didn't match so when I saw the flex brand and it matched my truck I decided to make the switch and I am not disappointed I have the drills the grinder the circular saw multi-tool and recip with the stack pack to start with. I want to visit the site to purchase my tools because my Lowe's has a piss poor selection I've been trying to get the vacuum for about 4 months now and it's never in the big stand up light is never in but I just wanted to say I enjoyed the video and it made me want to share my tool story with you.

    I work in the office of a big Factory and we purchased 8 Flex 1/2 drills and 6 hammer drills for a total plant reset and design. Oh forgot we also purchased 20 extra batteries with chargers. I can't remember what size batteries were bought 5 hr I believe. These drills ran non stop for 3 8hr shifts 7 days a week for a month at least. When one shift would return them to the crib they were immediately issued out to the next shift still warm. Some of the batteries that came with the drills has problems but we were sent replacements pretty quickly but we never had a problem with any of the drills. For this month would be a lifetime of use for the average DIYer and some construction workers. All of the maintenance guys said they were sold on Flex and have bought them for themselves. Just thought this may help somebody that didn't know anything about the brand. We. Later purchased 8 angle grinders and 8 1/4 impacts and I personally bought the 1/4 inch impact to build my deck and it's a beast. Any of the other tools I can't say because I've never seen or used them . Good luck on whatever brand you buy.

    I’ve got the 1/2” high torque impact, 0 complaints. Great tool. Also have the impact drill and impact driver. Really like them both. One complaint with the different drill type platforms: they overheat super easy. Extremely powerful tools, but damn do they overheat a lot. In between 15minute uses, i usually have to stop and give the tool a few minutes to cool down to continue. That feels like a lot of wasted time.

    Bought this Flex pack out a few months ago. Used on three projects. The latches between the top box and the middle box kept hanging up or not locking. Soooo, tried to call company service to get a fix. Wasn't asking for anything but a tech to walk me through the fix(maybe a replacement latch?). First, good luck getting through, they DON"T answer their phones. After a half hour hold the message comes on offering a call back. No choice gotta grow old on the phone or give up. No call back, so the next day I try again, same deal, but this time I get a call back. Pleasant young lady hears the problem and takes all my info and says they are sending a new replacement unit!! Of course nothing took place, NO Replacement Unit, No Latches, NO NOTHING!!!! The product seems to be well made except for these few minor issues, however I would never recommend buying a Flex product. They have no customer loyalty.

    The cutting depth is more than any other saw on the market especially on the Flex 6 1/2 Inch In Line Circular saw because the arbor sits so close to the foot plate. Also the gap in the Arbor is something I've encountered too, just make sure you center your blade best you can before you tighten it down to minimise wiggle wobble.

    I've been using Milwaukee for many years now. I have a massive collection of them and use them hard like you do. I have to say, last few years they have gone down hill. I have a brushed drill of Thurs that was their very first drill they offered with lithium ion batteries. It still Fing runs, weighs 90lbs but still runs. The latest two gens of fuel drills have not lasted. Both have been in the shop multiple times, and tge one is now out of warranty and is now a glorified paper weight. The fuel 7 1/4" saw is not holding up very well either. The fuel hackzall is dieing. They keep making the impact wrenches smaller and they keep getting less robust. I'm done with them. Would love to switch to hilti, but the price for entry is very high and they don't offer many of the tools I'd use. Maybe flex is the go here.

    The blade slip it probably because it doesn’t allow for the diamond shaped knock out. I keep the smaller cordless saws for quick rough cuts on smaller pieces, occasional 2x4 (but I always keep the blade fresh so it’s easier to get through the piece) But a corded full size circular saw is almost mandatory for me, especially for the amount of lumber and hardwood I cut.

I have the flex quick eject and I plan on getting those other 3 in the flex line once I start making more money. Also, usually when it comes to machines weight = quality

    I use flex tools as well been using for years now on framing , I even sold my deWalt flexvolt circular saw just to my first flex circular saw lol but it was worth it , I feel like the flex was stronger with a regular 24v battery instead of a heavy 60v

    That charger is definitely inspired by Dewalts. The people behind Flex seems to be the guys that were in the fields thinking "I like this from Dewalt, but I like some things about Milwaukee better" and so on and then said "f*ck it" if I have to get both to get the best, I might as well make my own stuff.

    Ever since i got my first ridgid pack out like 13 years ago i love having them keeps my tools dry and keeps me a bit more organized. My biggest complain is how expensive they cam get. But i guess if your gonna invest thosands of dollars in tools you might as well keep them safe. I use milwaukee mostly and you can find just as many complaints from any brand. Ive had a number of oscillating cutters ended up settling on milwaukee m18 one for portable and a sonicrafter for a corded one, just works better and makes my work easier to do and better looking and those are my only reqyurements for tools

    I like you invested in pretty much everything Flex. I haven’t had the circular saw issue that you had but I did have some issues of my own. One is I got the batteries that that ended up pulling for the shelves. One leaked a black liquid and stopped working. The second issue I had was I didn’t register my tools so the life-time warranty didn’t apply. That one was my own fault. Overall I love Flex Tools. I am concerned though. I wanted to get shoe new table saw and chop saw because they look light years ahead of anything else. For some reason Lowe’s doesn’t have them. Yesterday I went to buy their new mid torque wrench and there were none on the shelves. I went to their website and it said no longer available at Lowes. Something is up. I’m hesitant to invest more without knowing if they are staying or going. Lowe’s or Flex have been silent.

    I think the reason that you are finding bare shelves at Lowes is that Flex seems to be in the process of releasing an entirely new line-up of tools. I've even found a few drill driver kits, super inexpensive at Acme Tools

    I'm sold on them, I have two 3.5 aH and a 6.0 aH and can use them over a single work week and have yet to go below two bars on them. I mainly use them on the small hammer drill with turbo mode and the multi mode impact driver. I recently bought the one handed recip saw and used that all week making multiple cuts on conduit, and uni-strut and hell I think the 3.5 battery is still showing four bars.

    If your blade is slipping and the design is such that you can't get it to tighten after prolonged use, but was tight previously? Dirty blade. The blade picks up resin, or gunk or what ever you want to call it. That gunk grabs at the board as the saw spins and slows it down. It can cause the wood to burn as well. Many times when people think their blade is dull, it's actually just dirty on the sides.

    Jose, are you saying that just to be kind? I liked the video as well. I’m a Milwaukee guy rooting for Flex to succeed. Good competition means the brand you’ve invested in will continue to deliver quality and innovation or lose market share. You’re currently in the Milwaukee platform. Milwaukee has targeted specific verticals in order to build an ecosystem of tools for those tradesmen. One of those being mechanics and the automotive/trucking industry. They keep improving their impact drivers to meet all demands. I have almost 40 Milwaukee M12 and M18 tools for construction/woodworking, metal and automotive. I also have at least 30 different Packout boxes and accessories. I won’t be changing to another manufacturer or brand anytime soon. It would have to be an exceptional deal. The one thing Milwaukee does that the competition doesn’t is offer a hack. For instance, with the M12 they’re currently offering a charger (don’t need the stupid M12 charger!) and two 6 amp batteries for $199.00. You the. Have your choice of 6 or seven tools you can choose from for free. If you already have enough batteries, you can return the batteries and end up paying about 50% off retail for the tool or vice versa. It’s a way to accumulate a lot of tools or batteries.😊
