FLEX FACEOFF 2022

FLEX FACEOFF 2022

Show Video

the time is now the brand is flex and flex it's what's next round two [Music] [Music] so welcome to round two of the flex face-off i'm barnaby and i'm excited to share with you what's next with flex we've got a lot to show you today including a whole host of new tools and we're going to share some impressive updates and talk about an incredible battery innovation that's certainly going to raise the bar you know flex has always been driven to be the best it's a company with a proud history of innovation founded a hundred years ago in stuttgart germany but today the focus is the exciting future of flex we're fueled with optimism and inspired by you the pro to make the very best tools designed for the trades now we've got a lot to talk about today and here to tell you more about power that's going to change everything is ceo mike clancy and cmo joe turoff hey barnaby how are you i'm doing great you know last time we were together we introduced 26 new tools four new lithium ion batteries and two incredibly fast chargers that all launched exclusively at lowe's all targeting the professional user so that was just a little less than a year ago how did it all go well it went great first thanks barney thanks for being back thank you all for joining us it's great to be back after such an incredible launch the results are in and we're pleased sales are strong the ratings are high and the best is yet to come as promised we're expanding our platform with more new tools and leveling up power that changes everything okay so last year you launched exclusively at lowe's what's the update on the expansion yeah we're fortunate and thankful that flex will have an even larger presence at lowe's starting this year we're also excited to be expanding up north at lowe's canada rona and reno depot as well as for traditional trade dealers all over north america wow you know it's great to see flex in literally thousands of lows and trade outlets so clearly the trades have recognized the superior power and the performance and bought the product up with confidence so what do you think resonated most with the pros you know in this industry it's all about getting work done and that means power above all pros were impressed that the tools were as powerful as anything that they'd ever used in addition to power pros were really impressed with flex's durability and its performance well you also made some pretty bold promises to the purchaser first by giving them the industry's best warranty with a five-year bumper-to-bumper coverage including the battery that was unheard of but then you did something remarkable by upgrading the warranty to lifetime with registration so not trying to be smart alec here but how'd that go for you man you know it went very well our engineering and our product teams have worked incredibly hard to build a robust platform designed for the job site and because our confidence in our product is so high we've decided to extend that flex founders lifetime warranty through the end of 2022. whoa that tells me that the tools and the batteries must have stood up to the abuse that we know takes place on the job site day in and day out and certainly you wouldn't be extending this amazing warranty otherwise right that's right so joe you just relaunched the brand leveraging this great new 24 volt platform and you gave the pro a lifetime warranty and well this is another big one promised a hundred tools in the platform by 2024. how in the world are you going to top that with what we're talking about today which is the phase two launch well barnaby uh when we were together at the last face-off we talked about delivering a new level of power what you're going to see here today doesn't just take it up a notch it changes the game okay talk to me about power because i think it's kind of a relative thing for the pros it's like which tool is more powerful but there's a metric how do you measure it yeah so it's watts watts are the best measurement when you're comparing power from one brand to another and it's a pretty simple calculation regardless of brand just take the volts times the max discharge current which is tested and rated by the cell manufacturer and that's the number you compare okay so phase one of the flex launch was a 24 volt platform that delivered 20 percent more power 25 percent longer runtime and up to 50 percent faster charge time all great things right but now we're talking about truly next level stuff yeah so the story of our latest innovation dates back to 2017 when we made a strategic decision to rethink lithium ion we looked at all types of current and emerging battery technologies and leaning on the advice of our top experts we dialed in and focused our attention on a new type of cell one that would support our core focus and deliver even more power and the ability to safely recharge in just minutes all right then so the rumors flying around the blogosphere about a major battery advancement from flex all true and if so i'm all ears tell me more this spring we are launching three new batteries that feature a flat state-of-the-art lithium-ion cell technology that we trademarked stacked lithium okay but how does that compare to what pros use on the job site today so it stacks up incredibly well our patent-pending stacked lithium battery technology is 200 percent more powerful than traditional lithium-ion battery packs and we have three new batteries a 3.5 amp hour a 6 amp hour and a 10 amp hour what's cool about it is it the power is unmatched the 3.5 amp hour battery produces as much power as a typical 18 or 20 volt 8 amp hour battery that uses a 21 700 cell and then when you trade up to the six amp power battery it actually produces more power more power than the 12 amp hour 20 and 18 volt battery packs out there today using again the 21 700 cell and when you trade up to our 10 amp hour battery completely different game the power is unmatched when you trade up to stacked lithium the advantages go beyond just power stacked lithium lasts up to 300 percent longer and can safely be recharged up to 100 faster best of all it's 100 compatible with every single tool in the entire 24 volt lineup wow all of that is amazing so the new stacked lithium battery is not cylindrical it is flat like a bar so is it the shape that makes them better all right so the magic is in the cell design itself and here you go traditional round cells are great we use a lot of them and we'll continue to use the traditional round cell for a very very long time that said there are limitations and regardless of the supplier and regardless of the size the traditional cylindrical cells allow energy in and out at one single contact point as a result they heat up at those contact points because it creates friction and as a result you have to manage that in a very sophisticated way with staff lithium we were able to design this very different see right there those are tabs all right we were able to design and weld dozens of electro tabs that behave similar to lanes on a highway that allow the electrons to move more efficiently from battery to tool and from charger to battery without any negative impact on heat or life of the cell okay so if i'm understanding this correctly in any battery it's almost as if millions of electrons are trying to move and transfer energy but with the usual cylindrical battery cell structure the flow of energy to from the tool to the charger or vice versa it's going to be slowed down because of those single contact points you spoke of to use your highway analogy it's really no different than a traffic jam in the old cell design versus a free flow and multi-lane super highway where the multi-tab stacked lithium battery allows energy transfer almost effortlessly so mike not to be a debbie downer here because we're talking about great technology with the pouch but again on the internet i did some research and there's some bad mojo out there because they have a bit of a bad reputation right help me and all the pros watching at home understand why our cell the pouch is so much different yeah so let me set the record straight what we're doing is a brand new and designed technology for use on the job site it took our r d team five years he has five years in power tools long time to design this intricate network of electrodes materials electronics and to do it with a new and unique structure designed for the wear and tear experienced on the job site this is not about flex using existing pouch technology this is about co-development of a game-changing new type of cell that delivers more usable power so joe it's safe to assume then that flex went to the extreme to equip the batteries with advanced circuitry that monitors the voltage of each individual cell these are all assumptions on my part preventing overcharge over discharge and short circuits and can we confirm there's a physical protection to ensure they're every bit as robust as the tools they power battery technology is our special sauce it's what we believe we do better than anyone and to take it a step further all of our stacks are designed with room for expansion a patent-pending cushion and feature our proprietary thermatec plus technology that absorbs heat and even impacts from the accidental throw right so ultimately this means flex stack lithium batteries are every bit as tough and safe as the flex lithium battery so guys this is groundbreaking industry leading technology from flex and the headline for the pros is that the new flex stack lithium batteries give them and these are some big headlines right here 200 percent more power 300 longer battery life 100 faster charging and flex stacked lithium batteries are 100 compatible with all flex 24 volt tools all right barnaby enough talk i think we're ready for the face-off but before we go i want to take just a moment thank all the pros that have trusted us with their business we are committed to fulfilling our promise of providing the very best technology and tools for the job site we'll continue to expand the assortment and we'll have more than 100 tools in this platform very soon flex will continue to innovate and bring the very best to you year after year we sincerely appreciate the trust that you place in our company and in our brands all right great to see you both but now it's time for the ultimate showdown of power and performance time for the flex face-off round two [Music] my name's lawan and i am a general contractor i own a family-owned construction company that has been passed down to me from generation to generation my name is mike i'm a plumbing contractor i've been one for about 15 years now i've used all these flex tools and and the biggest thing that pops out to me is the power my name is joe i'm a framer i've been doing it for the past 15 years i use power tools all day every day from sun up to sundown my name is jesse favela i'm a commercial carpenter i've been around tools for i would say a good half my life [Music] electricians plumbers and framers will all tell you that a good hammer drill is essential to getting through their work day quickly and accurately a good hammer drill is going to boost your productivity and assure a job well done flex high power brushless motor provides industry leading torque at 1400 inch pounds now with the turbo mode engaged you get 25 more speed instantly at the same torque 2500 rpm and 40 000 ipms that's impacts per minute in hammer mode turbo mode up c ante maximizes power output and cuts down work time significantly now you can imagine when you're driving into a hard media like concrete there is the chance of kickback and a stall but the anti-kickback technology is going to stop you from having to leave the job site and go into the er anti-kickback it's a feature that was requested by you the pros and of course we're happy to deliver let's go over to the pros right here because they each have a hammer drill in their hand and this is a daily occurrence for them right so let's talk first to you jesse what do you look for in a hammer drill i look for speed and i look for power something that's going to get the job done i don't want to have to put a lot of elbow grease into it yeah it is the most unforgiving of services that you're trying to penetrate right indeed indeed and as a gc you know when you're trying to get through that concrete you want to make sure that you have the power to get through any aggregate that it may come across and when it has that power it's going to give you the speed that you need to get the job done in time all about the power right absolutely uh you know in plumbing we use these to drill shells and concrete so we can hang our pipe and you know power equal speed the more powerful the tool the quicker you're getting the job done yep so when you light it up you want it to do the work for you you don't want to just kind of be sitting there going come on let's get through this right so that is going to be the test that we're going to be undertaking right now drilling through eight inch concrete using a turbo hammer drill with brand new half inch concrete drill bits let's face off [Music] so [Music] so all right that's a tough way to spend the day but it's a job that's got to get done right right so let's talk about it who won really flex one buy a long shot i would say at least 10 to 15 seconds then you multiply that by thousands of uh of tries and that adds up to a ton of time so it seems like all we ever ask for in a tool is that it does the work for you and with the stacked lithium it gives that extra oomph because what we're running here in the sense of a fairness of test is all of the drills are on their highest setting right so for the flex you've got two speeds so you were on two but you got the turbo mode and that probably got you a little further a little faster right with the stacked lithium drive in the train absolutely i let the tool do the work i just applied a little pressure and and let every tool do everything else okay and speaking of stacked lithium you've got the dewalt right there let's talk about that experience um the experience was good there was power there um decided the size of the jobs that i do apartment buildings doing the anchor bolts seeing how much faster mike got done next to me you know multiply it like mike said you know save time save money um having the power and the speed that's what you need right so with your experience on the job site is that the tool you reach for day in and day out that tool arthur that tool right there okay how about you jess i thought i was moving at a good rate of speed and then uh i look over and mike was already done so obviously not enough power not enough speed yeah but compared to the tool you use on the job site day in the day out smooth ride rough ride how did it go rough real rough on the hands feel a lot of vibration still feel it actually okay tingling luan yeah i mean exactly what you heard jesse say i i felt like i had to go through this concrete i mean the milwaukee it does the job but you are doing most of the work and um it's tiring you feel it i feel it in my forearms i feel it in my hands you know i'm sweating i think i'm the only one up here sweating you know and so it i put in some work to get through that concrete yeah it's interesting to use an analogy it's almost like a car without power steering right absolutely once you have that ease of motion which i'm assuming you felt with the flex it's just kind of along for the ride otherwise you guys were just trying to power through and you're just trying to get her done yeah all right so from what i'm hearing what i'm seeing flex victory [Music] i was called into flex about a year ago do some blind tests and some demos and i was blown away because i didn't know much about the company i didn't know much about the brand i was so blown away with the you know the performance that i just instantly needed to get my hands on as many hammer drills as i possibly could i needed to get him in the hands of my employees i needed to see the production i needed to be able to realize the profits not only that but safety for my guys in the field the anti-kickback technology everything that flex provides it's holistic for the company [Music] pros like framers and deck builders who drive long screws or fasteners into wood all day reach for an impact driver as their tool of choice now the impact driver also offers the advantage of driving screws without pre-drilling so they grab the wood better and allow bits to stay seated without slotting out now the ease of use and control are our top priority a high power brushless motor puts out an industry-leading 2500 inch pounds of torque and 4 000 rpms providing more power that can match your demand for peak performance this is an amazing feature right here the quick eject collet simply press the button below the nose and the bit will come out automatically which allows you to quickly insert or release bits with one hand with just the press of that button changing bits out is now far easier than ever before the traditional collet can't hold a candle to this the multi-mode right here on the foot allows more control when fastening screws to prevent stripping in finer applications and gives you full power for the big jobs on the foot again you have three speed settings two self-tapping screw modes optimized for different gauge steel so you're probably wondering what's the test for the impact driver well what we're going to be doing is raising five pound weights with the impact driver and the first five pound weight to the top is the winner let's face off [Music] we all saw what just happened with the five pound weights all the tools did their job to varying degrees of success they all got the kettlebells to the top with the five pound weights flex was the winner but now we're gonna up the ante and put some extreme pressure to the tools because it's now eight pound weights where once these are sand filled these guys are solid metals so let's see what happens in this eight-pound flex face-off [Music] all right well we saw what happened there it was clear but what i want to find out is from the guys how it all felt with flex again now we're 2-0 in this race so come on over here guys let's talk about it because we have some serious differences in performance i think safe to say right so jesse with the milwaukee tell me about your experience from using the flex and then using the milwaukee you definitely you definitely feel the difference in the power and how much easier it is and how much smoother the flex is okay and again this is a difference of only a couple of pounds but it's like day and night especially for you joe with the dewalt yes definitely day and night um the eight weights the wallet couldn't handle it didn't have the power yeah you'd fail to achieve liftoff no liftoff yeah okay and lavon yeah you're happy because you got the flex in your hand apparently yeah because you were the rocket ship to the moon indeed indeed and you know what what i'm finding out is that these flexes they always meet up to the challenge it really felt like the more weight that it was tackling the harder it actually put forth and it killed the competition okay and you know when we're talking about driving lags on the job site you never know what the material really feels like until you start putting it in right i mean it could be really tough going and so with the milwaukee are you confident on the job site not as confident as i would be if i had a flex how about you um i don't use dewalt on the job site i use flex okay and for you duane it's simple my trust is in flex and and and i'm in good hands okay so we put the impact drivers to the test with the five pound weight with the eight pound weight and both times flicks the victor last year wasn't um had an amazing experience i got contacted by flex tools and um for the past year i've been using their tools and it's been great i haven't stopped using their tools since so when i came back to do this and i was using tools that were not flex it made me realize how uh much harder my job was before having flex in my life [Music] circular saws are commonly used for ripping down sheets of lumber for flooring or roofing and because on the job site time is money you're going to be pushing your saw to the max by cutting stacks of lumber in a single pass so you're going to want a saw that's up to that task day in and day out and this guy is certainly up to the task and then some it's the flex 24 volt seven and a quarter circuit size a rear handle and cordless but the same power as corded extended run time also cross and rip cut three by and two by lumber drop cuts no problem max performance from stack lithium battery and brushless motor is going to give you that extra performance on the job site so the bevel cut capacity on this up to 56 degrees best performing cordless rear handle sub based on the speed of cut and stall force now on to the face-off where competitors are going to be racing down this pine wood derby-like track we've taken the human element out of this joe you saw the flex face-off last year and online afterwards there were people that were saying well i mean the guy with the bigger muscles was pushing that saw harder there was a million reasons why their particular saw their favorite stock didn't win right so what we've done here is we've taken all of the human element out of it except for you you got the glory position you're going to push the button and start the race right you have no say in what happens here but i will say that the saws are going to be the stars of the show and we've got the flex 24 volt we got the makita and we've got the milwaukee now as far as the blades we thought for fairness of fights what we would do is give them all brand new never used flex 24 tooth carbide tip saw blades fresh out of the box and as far as the battery power go this is where it gets a little bit different right this guy is going to be 24 volt to flex but he's running the 10 amp hours stacked lithium now makita 36 volt right and these are going to be two 5 amp hour batteries milwaukee is going to be 18 volt 12 amp hour battery so it's a little different there as far as the way it's going to go it's going to be like on the job site i mean it's a good day when you hit your line perfectly every time right right because you don't want to be binding the saw up and so we constructed the track to be pulled along straight and true as far as what we're going to be cutting it's going to be this remember when i was talking a minute ago about stacking up lumber time is money on the job site what do we have here two pieces of three quarter inch particle board okay so this is straight off the rack at your local big box glued together and so that's what we're going to be cutting so when the race begins at the touch of the button by joe it's going to be down to the end of the track and the winner's light is going to light up green the runner's up they're going to be red all right so that's how you keep track of things what's going to be pulling the saws along are uniform 15 pound kettlebells right so they're just going to drop down the wire is going to go taut and they're going to pull the saws forward this is going to be the ultimate test of power the first to speed through all the boards and reach the end is going to be crowned the winner of this face-off [Music] boy there's nothing more exciting than a moment at the track right and you saw the race live right here and the obvious winner on this one was flex fair fight not if you get into it into the weeds so to speak because the milwaukee that's got the highest amp hour battery more amp hours than flex the makita has got 36 volts more volts than the flex which has 24. you know what it boiled down to watts bam right there and boom to the finish line it went flex the victor you know you hear it online that they say these aren't fair tests these aren't equal competitions there's some type of thing that's rigged and we've seen a lot of people online do the tests themselves but i'll tell you this right here when we get up here to do these tests they demand that we really truly give it our best effort they demand that we lean into it they demand that we actually attempt to beat the flex and i'mma be honest with you when i was attempting to beat the flex with the competition i got tired i felt every bit of the work that the tools should have been doing for me from the racetrack to the job site we go we just did an apples-to-apples test now let's push the limits what we're going to have our pros do is try to push as hard as they can through three sheets of three-quarter inch plywood without stalling and let's see who comes out victorious let's face off um [Music] [Music] all right so i gotta say that was an obvious victory right there right how did it feel it felt great felt natural yep and for all the folks out there i mean you've got arms the size of his legs right so i mean as far as the push factor goes you could try as i mean you were pushing hard right i was pushing i mean yeah i was pushing hard you could say yes yeah how about you what was uh your experience with the makita you know it it's what i'm familiar with um but you could just tell that it could be easier with every push that i that every step that i was taking and so uh i'm a little jealous about the situation well you know we're not done here because we just went flex versus makita and now let's go against milwaukee [Music] well let's start with you joe because i need to know you were on flex now you're on milwaukee compare and contrast what was it like um compared to the flex the first time i tried pushing the milwaukee the same way i was pushing the flex a lot of resistance a lot of kickback and it wasn't smooth at all didn't go well at all yeah that's the watts with the stacked lithium all that power going right to the blade which is spinning a lot faster than the milwaukee's so lawn let's talk about you you were on makita now you're on flex apples to apples oranges what do we got no absolutely that's the ease that you're hoping for you know because on the job side you're not always in the most ideal position but you got to get the job done and i was able to plant my feet and just allow the saw to finish out the job for yeah it's nice to be along for the ride right oh yeah oh yeah passenger over here yep i mean why push when you can just kind of hitchhike with the saw you're just going to get to the same place but just quicker it's going to be easier quicker and better absolutely well i got to say flex victory an angle grinder is a versatile tool that can cut or grind metal cut tile stucco pavers and route out mortar they can also sand polish and sharpen now for plumbers and hvac pros a daily use might be cutting threaded rod for hanger trays check this out though this is the flex 24 volt angle grinder it's got a paddle switch to it it's got a high power brushless motor that allows 25 to 50 percent faster cutting speed than other industry leaders it maintains a high rpm in the toughest of cuts we're seeing high rates of removal when surfacing it is the most powerful grinder we've ever tested and it's got some really awesome features to it on the foot right here it's variable speed so instead of having to use the trigger for it you simply punch it up and down and it stays put at the speed of your preference and also ergonomic design it feels so good in hand and vibration suppression because a grinder is an aggressive tool and you want it to be as comfortable and soft in hand as possible and it has the ability to change the guard so instead of having to whip out a tool loosen it up spin it around this just spins so you can protect the area where the sparks are flying and here's a really important feature anti-kickback technology it's got advanced braking technology to keep on your cut until it's finished but if it does bind as grinders will depending on what you're cutting this will actually stop before it takes you for a ride so it's going to keep you safe on the job site so let's do a quick roll call what do you have in your hand right there dewalt i've got the dewalt power stack and it's you know a pretty well-known tool in the industry we got the milwaukee fuel 18 volt how about you well i'm excited because i got the flex that i used last year but now it's equipped with the stack lithium battery so i'm excited to see how it turns out today competitors race to cut through one inch rebar it's time to face off [Music] so [Music] all right the last of the sparks have flown who was the winner no contest flex yeah but i got to ask you you're using the dewalt with the power stack so i mean that stack that stack what place did you come in i came up dead last so you know i i was applying the right amount of pressure and uh you know let the tool do the work and i finished last yeah that is something that we got to clear up here because we are using humans obviously and so people will say well one guy was pressing harder than the other one guy's got bigger muscles than the other is that a factor when it comes to the angle grinder cut no not ac not at all actually if you're putting more pressure it's gonna make it bind more and it's gonna choke the blade okay so i'm gonna call the race flex victory [Music] i am excited to introduce the flex interlocking storage system that we're calling the stack pack but instead of going through the details first let's show you how tough it is we're gonna hit the flex stack pack with a baseball firing from a pitching machine at about 60 miles per hour it's time to face off [Music] wow the flex interlocking storage stack pack system can really take a wallop you see that baseball hit it at 60 looks great right but let's talk about the features because this is what you're going to be concerned with on the job site day in and day out ip65 all weather protection what does that even mean right well it's way beyond any thunderstorm you've ever been in on the job site we're talking high pressure water jets can hit this from all angles and it's going to stay absolutely dry inside as far as the conveniences auto connect interlocking here's a big one gas strut for auto opening and holding you will not believe the difference this is going to make on the job site also with its 9-inch all-terrain tires you're going to have effortlessly rolling capabilities over any terrain customized organization extendable exterior and interior storage we're going to take you through that and detachable handrail so you can put it under the cover of your pickup truck bed also as we saw with that baseball test it is impact resistant polypropylene so super tough so you're thinking huh i have a different system how do they stack up let's bring out the competition we have mikey with dewalt the tough system and jesse with the milwaukee pack out so we're going to see how the flex stack pack stacks up against the competition here all right right off the bat i'm noticing you were a little late to the party because you were kind of rolling gingerly right fan doesn't attach none of this attaches to the actual system itself that sounds like a couple trips you know a couple trips is money how about you it does not lock in nope okay sits there okay so this right here i'm just gonna show you one of the locking capabilities i mean you got the loose fan right there you know on the job site if you're inside i mean this simply locks on now you can open up the case i mean it is tight and right it's just sitting right there okay so now let's open it up and see what's inside so it's all about the comparisons right okay so you got that this is where you're gonna keep your uh stuff that uh yeah you got a couple of storage containers it's kind of like for like right well let's get on down to the second one because this is where we get into the gas struts that i was talking about okay let's do a little three two one on this let's get into the uh second box right here let's open them up and when i tell you to pop the lid ready three two one what happened there i got a couple mouse traps right there the handle's in the way so it doesn't allow the lid to open it actually forces it closed right so i'm just like sitting here living large i go there's my hammer drill right there and then let's talk about the accessories open up your lids i just got pretty much an empty box here with a little you know adjustable tray but other than that everything's loose in here one thing i noticed i see yours uh covers are see-through i can't see what these are okay on this one let me show you how this works right here this is just so intuitive just put it in snap it and there you go and you can actually take it off and you want to just go a little deeper on this one you pop it in and there you go right there right then you can open this up like this come into the inside so it is all just so convenient and with the clear plastic in front you can actually see exactly what you're getting into every time okay so let's close them up right here get into level number three [Music] okay watch out for your fingers when you open them up because i think we're gonna see the same things happening here right definitely maybe that's an anti-theft device well that's convenient well the lower levels on the dewalt here is actually the only one that actually stays up okay so take a look inside here because this has got the deepest capacity and so for that the greatest opportunity to really stack your system out and show just how organized you can actually be we got the big case here we've got the smaller cases here but they all stack out right i mean this is really what i would call an organizational marvel and you know really getting from point a to point b on the job site it's not all inside on nice smooth floors it's over rough terrain so let's just uh do a little uh tap test on your wheels there guys what are those wheels made of pretty much plastic yeah plastic feel these guys oh yeah i mean those are looking like uh off-road tires right there right nine-inch all-terrain wheels let me close your boxes up okay and now let's uh put your handle down or do whatever you're gonna do right and let's imagine trying to put it into the back of a pickup truck with a lid on it oh it won't fit oh this one will you know unlike the competition the stack pack is going to be launching with a full array of attachments we've got a three-cavity battery holder coming also adjustable charger holder level holder cord wrapper stack pack connector compatible with stack pack accessory and attachment cases and a tool rack rail so what do you guys think looks like another flex victory to me [Music] are you ready to see the latest and greatest from flex check it out the light let's start here because if you don't have light on the job site you can't get the work done right what's great about this is it is very transformable it's on a nice stout base so it's going to stay put you can telescope it up and down for height it's got three led panels that's going to cast 4 000 lumens of light but then if you have more specific and maybe tight quarters you can pop the top off now you got the three panels in hand it's got rafter hooks and you can either hang it up or put it down on the ground where it's nice and low but no matter where you need light it's going to be there and one of the banes of battery powered lights on the job site sometimes if you go all day long you want to set it and forget it this one runs off of an ac cord so you pop the battery out plug it in shazam you've got light all day long on to the next one this blower right here is all about keeping the job site clean as a buddy of mine used to say hey it's time to straighten stuff up even in the middle of a job you want to keep it orderly right and so at 115 cfm 185 miles per hour on turbo this is going to manage your mess it's going to push the piles where you need it and it's got a nice turbo button which is going to give you kind of the big boost of energy when you need it looking at this guy we saw him in the flex face-off a monster right for framing and forming it's a rear handle saw seven and a quarter inch it is gonna get the job done all day every day and if staying cool on the job site is one of your priorities might i suggest the most powerful fan in its class this has got 1100 cfm of wind that comes out it's got a variable speed wheel so you can kind of dial in up to 19 miles per hour as far as putting it on the ground sure you can do that you want to put it up on the rafters you can do that too because it's got rafter hooks or you can put it on the stack pack organizer and it snaps right in place so it's going to stay put and this is one of those situations of you asked for it we made it and we made a great one this is a one-handed resip saw really popular tool on the job site a full one-inch stroke for faster cuts dual led illumination counter balanced gearbox so it's going to stay quiet in hand it's not going to be a bouncy tool and keyless blade change so there you have it more great tools from flex and flex isn't just delivering tool innovation as a full-line player you can expect to see some excellent accessory innovation coming from the brand as well for example check out the top row a family of circ saw blades everything from the six and a half inch which beautifully fits our six and a half inch inline saw that comes in a 24 and 40 tooth with the active speed carbide so it's going to be a tough blade all the way to the seven and a quarter we have the 40 and the 60 tooth as well but dead center right here is the big boy he is the seven and a quarter 24 tooth demo blade you're thinking demo blade for a circ saw well think about it when you are working with framing especially when you're doing some destruction there are nails embedded in the boards that can ruin a blade and a heartbeat not so with this blade if you're working up top got to get through asphalt shingles that's going to dull a blade instantly not again with the demo blade right here and added bonus because it is so tough in regular use it is going to go long it's going to be one of your best value blades because it is built to take whatever you can throw at it also we have new impact fastening bit sets and sockets wood boring bit sets for bigger holes and a cleaner finish a multi-purpose drilling bit set designed for quick drilling in a variety of construction materials and a whole new line of stack pack ready accessory systems built around the simple idea that getting to work and finding the tools you need when you want them should not be a hassle in all honesty i believe that flex from here is literally going to go beyond the top the top is cool the top is fine but flex is going to create a new standard that all other companies are going to have to follow or just fade because they are committed to no longer playing games in this industry no longer being unreliable in this industry they are committed to making things exactly how
