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

Im diehard Makita, but since they didnt have a one hand recip saw in early 2022 and i desperately needed one for the plumbing work i do, i broke down and bought outside of my platform for the first time ever. And boy did it chamge ky life. That one tool has made me thousands and now im racking in the Flex tools and Makita 40v all at the same rate. I love having multiple platforms now. It lets you be specific in the tool you really want to use everyday.

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!

I'll be picking up Flex's 24v hammer drill for the same reason. I currently have the 2804, 2904, 998, and XPH14. In terms of performance they are virtually identical. Anecdotally I'd say the miniscule differences in power would shake out this way: 2904. 2804. XPH14 and 998. However the differences are very slight. If someone had these ranked in any order I would not disagree. However, if I could only have one it would be the XPH14: it has the right combination (for me) of ergonomics, superior durability/reliability, and enough power to do any job I do. The thing that keeps me from ranking the Milwaukees higher is reliability. I simply can't trust their triggers. In fact, ALL my Milwaukees have that problem. The Dewalt is great too. Love the 3 speed transmission. It's great for versatility.

Unlike most people here , batteries are so expensive I can’t see having numerous brands and battery platforms . I have seen and tested flex in store they seem like great tool but big and heavy! Everyone may say I’m a fanboy but I been in Milwaukee m18/m12 10yrs give it take. To invest in a new battery plat form I think is crazy. I did recently come across a flex stack pack deal there great boxes. I just can’t switch platforms years ago I had multiple platforms … on the truck correct tool wrong battery / charger or wrong tool rite battery etc etc.

end of this year!

I will agree with you in most of this flex stuff but I will say the m12 fuel oscillating saw is the best bar none ! You should test them and you will see ! Also as you it's all about the blare to. But blades aside the m12 fuel will blow your mind. Crazy thing is its just a 12 volt and everything else is 18,20 or 24 volt.

@toolsandtactics

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

Thankyou so much for this review. I was on the fence about getting Dewalt but everyone has them and I dont like the color. I was going to get Milwakee but its just a bunch of red gang people. I dont like the color. I have Rigid now but want a new set of tools. I do like Rigid colors though. Love the innovation of Ryobi but they are not that powerful and dont like the color. Now here… FLEX 💪🏿 has a good name the more subdued color way and nobody really has them that I know and I want something different than everyone else. 😂

The M12 line is in a league of their own just with shear tool offerings.. but as far as 18v or 20 volt go it's whatever floats your boat..

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

I just bought the Flex turbo drill love the hard case but when I opened it I discovered both of the batteries are leaking and leaking in the case on the drill and charging as well, I will be returning it and will not by another Flex tool. I have looked at posts about this and found Flex's fix is to wrap the problem inside the battery with a plastic wrap so the problem is still there but wrapped up but how long will plastic wrap last against a hot battery, I'm very disappointed

Flex is ok, the tools are heavy and to be honest the quick eject is nothing special it’s great if you’re a one arm trades person, I have some flex tools so this is just my opinion and if you are in a platform it’s just not worth switching to flex, if flex gets into 12v like the other brands that would be interesting

Every manufacturer makes a Lemon it's just the nature of the beast however FLEX is the exception to the rule. All their tools are number one in its class plus these are 1st generation tools. Charger technology is #1, by far, battery technology is the industry leader by far. FLEX in bar none above the competition with real world warranty unlike that garbage LSA from Ridgid. FLEX is the only company to give PACKOUT competition with only 5 pieces and 5 months in. Imagine that!

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.

I have the inline saw. I love the saw...but went to lowes to get a backup 5ah battery. It was leaking a black goo.😡 Lowes exchanged it but it makes me wonder about their quality control.
