Unfiltered & Uncensored: testing FLEX Tools Outrageous claims

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

A FLEX representative introduces a 5/8 inch decking screw and a FLEX impact driver. The impact driver is used to effortlessly drive the large decking screw completely into a thick piece of pressure-treated lumber, demonstrating the tool's raw power. The host then performs the same task one-handed, highlighting the anti-kickback technology that prevents the tool from violently twisting during high-torque applications. This safety feature is typically seen in larger hammer drills for concrete applications, but is now integrated into this impact driver.

Goal: Demonstrate the impact driver's power and anti-kickback technology when driving large screws.

  • FLEX 24V Stacked Lithium Battery — Powering the impact driver
