Testing Flex's new Power tools- No glitz, no hype, no B.S.

What happens here

A test of reciprocating saws involves cutting metal pipes. Both the Flex 24V reciprocating saw and an 18V competitor are fitted with 10lb kettlebell weights to ensure consistent downward pressure, relying solely on the tool's power. The Flex saw features 'Shock Shield' anti-vibration technology, which reportedly reduces vibration by 40% compared to traditional saws, directing more power to the blade for faster cutting. This allows for increased efficiency and reduced user fatigue.

from the business end of the tool makes it more durable of course and then you can make the motors larger as necessary to provide the power that you see here i seen you hit a button to change bits yeah what's the deal instead of having to cradle it and pull it forward to be able to release the bit itself there's a quick button right here so right from your trigger position you hold and you can pull the bit out was that a big deal or was that just the convenience it's both a big deal and a convenience so you know you don't have to you know if you're switching back and forth really quickly between two different fastener types you know super easy to be able to do that without having to do this kind of crazy can you show us the traditional math yeah so this is a very normal collet out there this is still a quick insert but like you see a lot of people will cradle the tool like this and pull it forward yeah forward you got your other bit and you know this one is is actually a quick insert just like that you're ready to go but it's so much simpler here with the quick eject you don't have you can keep your hand on the handle so you're ready to go that much faster just simpler to operate in addition to that this motor with this battery combination provides you know the highest torque that we're seeing in the market 2500 inch pounds the highest rpms 4000 rpm so is this the is this basically the only tool that is running this new sensor free setup then or is there other flex tools in this lineup that may have that so every tool on the flex lineup is going to feature the sensor free precious motor oh really absolutely so we put the best technology across the entire platform so you're putting all your eggs into this basket saying this is the best this is the best okay the batteries the electronics the motor is going to give you tremendous results how do we know that has this been field tested has this been proven has this been in the hands of any pros out there or is this you guys developed this three months ago and say this is the best no absolutely we always
