SURPRISING POWER! FLEX 24V Quick Eject Impact Driver Review [FX1371]

As part of the new Flex Power Tools 24-volt lineup of tools, the new FX1371 Quick Eject Impact Driver stands to be a real beast in the industry. Performance during our testing really surprised us, not to mention the Quick Eject feature that provides a button to quickly remove and replace 1/4" bits. Purchase and Register your new Flex tool during 2021 and you get a Lifetime Warranty.

The fact the 1/4 inch adapter didn't twist in half is most impressive thing in this video

This might be the best flex quick eject review I’ve seen to date grabbed the impact and hammer drill right before the end of 2021 got both registered as well

I’ve been using this impact for about 3 months and all I can say is holy smokes man, it def hits hard. The build quality is not only felt but heard. The sound of the brushless motor is very unique sounding… almost like having a Jet engine in your hand or something. So here’s the one draw back. I would say that this is definitely built for the professionals in mind. A novice wouldn’t know how to wield and control its power which is why so many of these comments talk about the worry of stripping screws. The truth is you def can if your not careful but the screw modes cover your ass damn well. I like them both and keep on driving small screws when building decks or when driving 50 or more screws on a project. She don’t drive like a Triple hammer or Makita but that’s the point, that’s what makes it a good impact driver to have incase you wanna lighten the load and not have to pack a mid torque. It obviously won’t and can’t do everything but I believe that it has the most Versatile array of uses. It covers a lot of driving and fastening applications and situations. Can’t wait for the competition to upgrade and release strong competition. Great video!

I just purchased the combo kit that came with the Flex model FX1351 Z impact driver and the FX 1151 Z 2 speed drill driver, two small batteries and a nice charger. Spent some time with the Impact driver driving 5 inch lag bolts into 3 screwed together 2x4's. Drove em in and out just fine with no problems and no stopping. Vibration in the hand is minimal. The build quality seems to be Top Notch and in line with the quality and power of other brands of professional model tools. My basic cordless Ryobi drills are now approximately 15 and 18 years old with plenty of hard use and they are both getting weak but still work okay, so I would expect that this new FLEX drill and impact driver should last an occasional DIY'er a lifetime. The limited lifetime warranty covering the tools, the charger, and, the batteries is a plus as well.

That is a damn good looking tool. I nearly bought the impact driver kit the other day at Lowe’s, impulsively, bc I thought of the lifetime offer. Not sure if it makes sense for me though, I’m so deeply invested in the Milwaukee platforms that it’s gonna take a lot to convince me otherwise. Especially with the variety as well as build quality and power that red offers. The gen 3 impact and surge is about as good as it gets with the high output 3.0 on it. My favorite tool and first one out of the bag is the M12 fuel gen 2 impact driver with the cp3 on that bad boy. That thing is so capable and compact that it’s insane. Ok, now I’m rambling. Looks like a decent option though and if not invested in other platforms I’d highly consider flex. As always, great video.

I have flex impact driver and it took off the cv axel bolt on my lexus. I was definitely impressed.

[AntonioClaudioMichael]

The digital torque impact wrench is cool I give you that

[tjsells]

I absolutely love my flex things a beast!

[jesusmalverde]

I got mines yesterday love it I’m impressed n flexed

[patdud]

Just a few tips when you do your torque testing...

1. let the impact keep going forward until the sockets stop moving then let it impact 5 sec more for good mesure.

2. when you tightened a bolt wait 10 min for the steel to cool shrink and settle down

3. If possible get brand new bolt for the nut busting portion with that 10 min cooling after setting the torque value of course 😉

4. Keep up the good work 🤙 and if you win the power ball send me a little something so I can buy some of these flex tool and make some video on them 😜😂

Yea, I'm late on watching this video. But with that said I bought one about 2 weeks ago haven't had a chance to play with it yet, but I'm confident it won't disappoint me I have a cordless drill/driver that I'm happy with so didn't need another one with a hammer drill is why I bought this tool.i think I'm going to be happy with it.btw....I work at lowes....in the tool department. I have the greatest job

[b-]

Wow! What kind of socket adapter is that? I can't believe it didn't break.

[Sparkystacoma]

I am not buying into this new brand that much but this tool impressed me

[stefanczechorskidds]

wow....nice job Tim, I've noticed that the batteries are starting to dwarf the tool

[KingCuba]

do this test with the milwaukee gen 3 impact driver with a high output 3.0

[simplylearning]

For me flex seems pretty impressive with all the videos I’ve seen so far, but my big question is going to be longevity so for me I have to wait to switch to a whole new brand but awesome video new subscriber🙌🏻👍🏻

I have the 7 1/4" circular saw I haven't used it much but it cuts better that most corded saws I've used
