The great thing about Flex is it's creating more competition and implementing better technology. That being said companies like Dewalt and Milwaukee will move toward these types of technologies and in that sense everyone wins.

The stacked batteries and fast chargers are soooooo good! I was using my circular saw yesterday to make repeated cuts of scrap wood, and the my 6ah battery needed charged. I was shocked how quickly it was charged to full, and it wasn’t even hot when I took it off the charger. The saw is the best circular saw I’ve ever used, corded or cordless. Flex tools are no joke.

the guy was very respectful and knowledgeable...pleasure to listen

As a Flex tool owner, I am loving how fast it is evolving, but man do they need to do some work on getting more types of tools, 3 saws , 6+ drills, 2 grinders, yet no Trim router, heat gun, ect.... I am glad its moving but it seems like they are not giving us more types of tools yet and that is the only downside, The new batteries are insane and great that they work with the current products.

@RamdomAudioGuys. My cousin that works for Chevron/Kobalt/Flex he said that Flex will be releasing more tools especially the tools that you mentioned but he can't give me the exact specific dates but it's gonna be somewhere in 2023 or early 2024 and it's a top secret classified information as Flex/Chevron/Kobalt is aware that TTI and Stanley Black and Decker/ DeWalt and Makita might copy or imitate their New top of the line technology. As my cousin that works for Flex the company already got, mastered and perfected their New 2nd Generation of Stack Lithium Ion pouch cell battery technology, that will enable them to build more power tools, and testing on their science lab. He also told me that Kobalt might also have a Stack Lithium Ion pouch cell battery and brand new powerful Generations of Brushless Motors for their tools. And those brushless motors are gonna be much more powerful than Milwaukee and DeWalt. That's all it, He can't give me more Information regarding about it as He needs to be Quiet about it or he might lose his high paying job on Flex/Chevron/Kobalt

I feel that Flex jumped into the game very prepared for the race! I'm excited to see what other great tools and tech they're going to be announcing.

Request for a dewalt grinder video, the 405 xr vs 416 flexvolt advantage

Milwaukee makes a great saw my old school corded still going strong. One time my help plugged me in to a 220 volt . The landlord of the residence had put a wall outlet in to run the water pump. That saw ran like never before . Made several cuts before realizing what was going on.The owner showed said that the saw was cooked he had a helper do that. That’s been 8 years or so and still going strong.

The vibration from a reciprocating saw is minor compared to a demo hammer if they could put that tech on then maybe. I’d take a look at it.

Perbandingan yg g fair, 20v vs 24v?

This test of their sawzall was a perfect example. I have a dewal one and HATE IT. It beats me to death. My single most hated tool. That said though, until they introduct mechanics stools (more of them) I can not justify swapping from my already invested platform. I use all the tools. And have almost all that their competitiors make. But I need wratchets, and impacts the most.

I like seeing some more competition in the tool market, and I really like the explanations the salesman gave for all of the questions, but there are some things that concern me in Flex’s presentation. There are tools to measure vibration in their vibration test and I would never trust what a manufacturer advertises for battery tech; I understand the need for visual demonstrations, but there are better, more objective ways to demonstrate those principles. I would love to hear what you guys think and have some civil discussions in the comments!

I would like to see the fluid poured from the same bottle into two separate bottles because who knows if that's the same liquid inside. There's no way I feel they're going to get that much vibration out of a Sawzall. Unless Flex has an absolute garbage motor in their Sawzall.

Comment of the day

The Recip test was kinda bogus. The bottle on the Flex was more towards the handle and out towards the blade on the Milwaukee.

At what price?

I like Flex. They appear to be very solid and high quality. They're also very expensive for the "new kid". They're also NOT German, regardless of the name origin. And I also see a shift in demand for smaller, lighter cordless tools, not bigger and heavier.

They zip tied the bottle on the Milwaukee right over the top of the saw and on the flex they zip tied it further back where more of the vibration is absorbed by the rest of the tool. Seems setup

2:13 or else milwaukeee dialed it in with a blade in it? i'd like to see that test with blades in both tools

Sounds like flex is nothing but good-good-good-good vibrations!!!!!!

Would've been nice to see a 6AH Flexvolt battery atleast on the Dewalt in that torque test.

The same can be said of the DeWalt or Makita fanboys. My tool chest has red and yellow everywhere (M22, M18, Skil, DeWalt 12V), and maybe some teal soon, so I like to look at things with a more skeptical eye. Flex has some powerful tools, but their marketing just sets off some red flags for me (kind of like Milwaukee's debut of their screwdrivers). That being said, there are some valid points. The bottles are not in the same location on those recip saws, which can definitely change the results. Flex is 24V, so it better be more powerful. Why did they have to go to 24V to beat Milwaukee? Flex does not have the depth of tool selection that anyone else has.
