r/FLEXTools

Last year’s holidays at Lowe’s were awesome, what have y’all fixed/made/built, or done since then with the tools you purchased, and how happy are you bought them, or maybe not so happy?

Any pros cons or hindsight’s you’d wanna talk about?

The flex tower lights have been Fkn awesome for me, along with the rest of the tools. No issues, & no complaints so far.

With the pre-orders being available for the cutoff tool, can we agree that the price is a lot given the market it’s competing with? Kobalt’s is top tier in my eyes and the M12’s is fine and both of them are sub $150.

I was super hype for this tool but that price is just crazy. It totally has awesome features and I do agree the fact it’s a cutoff and grinder is nice but oof.

I have a first Gen 8ah battery with black goo that was leaking now it's completely dead. I have the founders warranty on it within my account when i registered it 3 years ago. I called flex they would send me another one if I had proof of purchase but it's been long ago and don't have nothing to show for it. Is there anyway to bypass that with them and get a new battery still? I figured with it being registered then it would be enough but I guess not unless I show proof of purchase from back then.

I’ve had the shop vac since December and only used it a handful of times. Maybe 10 tops.
The last time I used it was to get water out of spare tires before loading them onto a pickup. I removed the filter before hand and it worked flawlessly. Go to cut it on today and it whines for about 1.5 secs like it always did before it actually started working, but now it stops after the whine. Different batteries tried still the same thing. It’s under warranty so im not too upset, just curious if anyone else had the same issue.
