FLEX24V Brushless Cordless 6-Tool Combo Kit: Hammer Drill, Hex Impact Driver, Circular Saw, Multi-Tool, Reciprocating Saw, Work Light with 2.5Ah, 5.0Ah Lithium Batteries and 160W Charger - FXM601-2B

Like several reviewers I read during my research, I had never heard of Flex tools. Many report that this is a new, untried brand and were skeptical on ordering them. The actual truth is quite the opposite. Flex tools began in Germany in 1922 (longer than Milwaukee tools). I have been a DeWalt user for 20 years and wanted to change my tool platform to the newer style slide on batteries. I read a lot of reviews, watched YouTube videos, researched the company and found these tools were in the same high end category as DeWalt, Milwaukee, Makita, Bosch etc. In speed tests, they outperform all brands except the newest Fuel series from Milwaukee, where they are neck & neck. Here are my Pros & Cons:Pros:1. High quality and rugged build2. Very smooth running Circular and Reciprocating Saw3. Low vibrations on all tools4. Like the color5. Well balanced selection of tools with one exception6. 24 volts for extra power7. Good battery life8. Available Free lifetime warranty extension on all tools, batteries and chargers if you register them on the Flex site within 30 days.9. The new Stacked batteries are fully compatible with all tools and offer significant increases in power and battery life.Cons:1. Due to the build quality and rugged design, they are a bit on the heavy side2. Wish the selection included an angle grinder3. The trigger on the impact driver is very sensitive, goes to high speed too quicklyFlex is now releasing compact versions of most of their tools which are lighter and reportedly the trigger on the compact impact driver is much better.I used the impact driver to disassemble church pews as part of a renovation project at my church. Several people used my impact driver and compared to the DeWalt drivers and my Avid Power driver, it was much faster and smoother running. I am definitely going to stay with these tools. I have already ordered my Flex angle driver. Maybe later some Stacked battery packs.

I have used ryobi, dewalt, Bosch, and Milwaukee. I bought these because of a promotion and the lifetime warranty. I have been pleasantly surprised with the warrant. They outperform any other cordless tools I have used. The circular saw is by far the best built cordless circular saw I have ever used. My only complaint is the reciprocating saw is a little heavy and the arbor has to be cycled out to replace the blade. Not a big enough issue to give them less than 5 stars. The good far outweighs the bad.

Love them, great feel, strong, well built.

I can't say enough good about these tools. They are powerful, and the battery lasts longer than any I have had. Yep, they are heavier than some but well worth every ounce!

Most of the tools showed up scuffed up, missing paint, definitely not worth the money

Outstanding tools! Nothing negative to say about anything in the combo kit I purchased. They work great and feel like superior quality. I've been a long time Makita customer and have over a dozen cordless tools from them but recently had a bad experience with a new drill that they refused to replace. So, I'm switching brands and very satisfied so far with Flex.

I’ve tried them all, Dewalt, Ridgid, Hitachi and this product is amazing!! Tools appear to be very well-made and the power is absolutely incredible. I’ve been using them for about a month now and I’m very impressed. I highly recommend the Flex line of tools

I have owned Hitachi, Bosh, Porter Cable and Dewalt power tools over the years. I bought this combo kit because of Prime Days sales and I want to convert to all 24 volt battery powered tools. These meet or exceed any of those other brands, the engineering, quality and well thought out designs are top notch, even the charger was impressive! I will be purchasing more of this brand to complete my conversion.
