Farmer here. Needing to buy some new tools, so after a lot of research went with Flex.
It is great stuff. I love it so far. Reserving judgement till I have it a few more years to see how reliable they are.

The thing that is cool about most new tools of any brand is the anti vibration. Its nice to use a tool all day and not feel it in your hands when you're done.

I have the turbo drill...its an animal.ive never drilled holes so fast.it almost catches you by surprise.

Been a devoted Makita, DeWalt, and Bosch user. Lowe's recent sales promos helped me purchase my first FLEX, the rear handle 7 1/4 circular saw with DUST PORT! Awesome power, ergonomics, and absolute performance second to none . The variable speed grinder ( at the price of a single speed tool) knocked it out of the park. The 6 1/2 INLINE Circular Saw was quiet, powerful, and great line of sight on either side of the saw + a dust port! The new 18 gauge brad nailer is half the size of the DeWalt. The turbo hammer drill is awesome. More torque than my big DeWalt or Makita. Now I have made the switch. All the tools have better features and performance than the competitors. (Not on the Milwaukee 18v platform so I don't know how they compare.) The better features, performance, and power have inspired me to switch. Can't wait for the 10 inch 24v table saw with the corded option. The blower is also better than Makita, DeWalt, or Bosch. I was amazed at how good these tools really are.

just bought the hammer drill and impact set today, i’m a 2nd year carpenter apprentice i’ve used dewalt, makitta and milwaukee i gotta say this isn’t bad.. a lot of journeymen are surprised by it. I’m going to start my tool line up with this brand through the rest of my apprenticeship and see what it does. I gotta say being the only one in field with this brand haha i’m not confused on who’s are who’s tools and battery’s.

Bought and registered 6 in the past week while locking in the prices before inflation and while locking in the LIFETIME warranty at the same time. Thanks for the fair review.

I got all dewalt, but I like the flex and the look, I just bought there entire kit, good for letting your employees use, tired of lending out the big D tools.

What if.... FLEX ran a promotion that provided a consumer a free battery swap for a spent competitor battery of the same amperage while running a graduated price discount for acquiring new FLEX "tool only" deals. Would this inspire people to switch brands and start accumulating FLEX batteries? This would also be an environmentally responsible way of disposing of batteries which FLEX as a brand can advertise.

I know this is an older video. But I’ll just put this out here. I was all dewalt. Everything I had was dewalt. And just recently someone walked off. Job site with about all my battery powered tools. Still love dewalt. But this wasn’t the first time my dewalts walked off a site. So I decided to switch to flex cause I almost never see them in a site. And I still have my dewalt chop saw and table saw and shop vac ( basically what the perps couldn’t walk away with) but I decided to switch to flex because they are pushing the limits and putting out what appears to be good tools. Time will definitely have to tell. But so far I absolutely love their tools. There’s some learning curve cause when you’ve ran an 887 for years the other impacts are just different. But the quality and the efficiency of flex is amazing from what I can see. Again time will tell. But if your started out (or starting over 🙄) I’d give em a shot

[christopherperry]

100% agree Vince, I'm not their target audience either. Too invested in Milwaukee, but they will push Milwaukee to be better and hopefully a little less expensive. Keep up the great work.

[jeffreyk.warmbein]

"is it the most sturdy?" lol you had me howling vince

[benjaminwilliams]

LOL 8X.05 Lag Bolt on a 2.5 amp Batray 😮😅😂❤❤. Vince threw the Whole Barn Building at that impressive Impact driver. That's what I call Tool testing at its daily use finest. Great vid Vince. Great vid.❤❤❤

[terryturner]

Facts my bro you always keep it real but to be honest it could be for first time tools guys like I used to be when you put me on with kobalt power tools kit for 199 I still watch you because I learn a lot and I share that with my friend keep doing you you the best my bro stay blessed and always future success for you and your family and great health 🙏🏻👊🏿

[zaccruise]

I just recently switched over since I started back up in the construction field. They are a little heavy but if you remember when tools were meant to last they had a little more weight to them. So it seems like these might actually hold on in the long run. I still need a few more tools to complete my flex line up but the have been dream come true so far compared to the earlier gens of cordless that I had in the past.

[andrewt]

The self tapper mode is genius. With a bit of finesse you can do this manually just fine 95% of the time, but this seems like a sure fire way to fasten quickly and accurately every time. Hope that comes to Dewalt sometime soon.

Vince, awesome work, I just bought the Flex FX1351 kit at Lowe’s today. They are on sale for $99 bucks for at least another month or so. 99 bucks for a brushless impact, two 2.5 amp batts, 160w charger, bag, clip, and bit holder with a T25 and PH2 bit, all with a lifetime warranty. I know it’s not the sleek and sexy “quick eject”, just your finger on a variable speed trigger connected to a 24v brushless motor. I gotta say, I think it’s the best bang for buck and most well thought out kit anywhere atm. Would love to see hear thoughts on it

[BlackenedEclipse]

Just got one and I’m loving it’s power and feel. Time will tell on its Durability but can’t beat the black look either. Great Vid 👍

[nyyjimmyv]

I had the pleasure of putting the FLEX endcap on display in my store. Got a sneak peak of the full line my store will be carrying. There are other kits that have "turbo mode" and such. The amount of tools is similar to the number of tools on display in the metabo hpt display in lowes from what I could tell. Excited to see you test this line of tools

[iraschmelkin]

competition is good, but I'm waiting to see what kind of deals Flex will give (as well as the others!)

[dagconst]

Great tool, bought them 6 months ago and love them . This guy was right my Dewalt kit crapped out so I figured I'd try something new
