Wow , that drill bit sinks in that beam like butter , I can’t wait to get my hammer drill and impact driver
Always nice to see someone showing how to properly lock the bit in the chuck.
I wish more things in life had a built-in "anti-jerk" feature.
I’m glad I watched this again because it confirms that the one I got has a defective chuck.
I'm a little disappointed the turbo mode timed out. Those self-feed bits are demanding, for sure, but if you're on a jobsite doing lots of those holes, that would be annoying. I guess you could leave turbo off and just take a little more time on each hole if you had to. I'm going to try to replicate your test with my 8.0aH battery and see what happens (although the 8.0 is a clunky beast hanging off the tool and I don't think you'd want to wear out your wrist with it on there all day). Thanks, Tim!
Good video.... But it is amazing to me how many RUclips channels aren't aware of the anti kickback feature on the Flex hammer drill. It protects your wrist from breaking when the drill rotates rapidly, it only takes a short rotation of the drill to engage it and this is probably what is happening when you are using the 2-9/16" self feed bit. It is like ATC (active torque control) on Hilti drills. It is a great feature for your safety. You mentioned it when using the timber screws, but didn't when you used the self feeding bit. Cheers
Their warranty at the moment is been improved too , not batteries are covered with a limited lifetime warranty as well as the power tools.
You did a disservice by not using the stacked lithium battery. They are built with extra leads and allow for more current output. The BL drills take advantage of this.
Really good and clarifying test. Good job!
Just picked mine up today, gotta say actually very very impressed. Went in to pickup a Dewalt XR and glad I went with this instead.
It's hard to beat. Great drill. Thanks for watching.
@@Shoptoolreviews Sure is, been very solid, used it all weekend for a big work project and it held up great.
I’d like to see this again with the stacked lithium battery.
I found a cool test for hammer drills. I’ve been using my XTR for a 4in garden auger. It’s brutal.
Oooh... Derek, I may steal that idea...
That's a brutal test. I've seen several cordless drill gets burned up using them as ground augers.
@@RobertLeBlancPhoto the XTR got to hot and shut down after 20 minutes or so. I was using it to break up red clay for planting 15 trees.
Those giant augers for soil are 👍 great.
It looks like the anti-kick tech is kickin in, not the drill limit
Tim, @05:33 does it say to tighten the chuck that way in the manual? I don’t know about Flex, but every drill I have used or owned, nowhere does it say in the manual to reverse the tightening like you did here? I’m just asking, as a lot of people are suggesting this in other videos? I have Metabo HPT cordless drills, that will click back, and I found it makes no difference, and the bits actually fall out. The chucks on those drills are hit and miss anyways.
I have used drills for a lot of years, and have always tightened the single sleeve ratcheting chucks all the way, and leave it! Like I said, this chuck may be different? Enjoy your videos, and thumbs up. Stay safe and Healthy! 👍👍👍😁✌🏻🇺🇸
The Turbo mode gives the drill more speed. It has more torque without the Turbo mode turned on.
Everyone says that the drill is amazing, but mentions that the turbo shuts off after a few holes.
Then, of course, there’s the leaking battery issue unless you get the stacked lithium version.
Actually not impressed about this tool Tim.
Only worth would be the life warranty.
Thanks for another excellent video
Tim Can You Put This Drill On Mansonry
That’s what the Bosch Hitman (Bi-turbo) sds drill is for... Plus it has twin turbo... so it’s gotta be fast...
@@paedahe4975 IKR The Bi Turbo On Bosch Is A Must See
This is light duty hammer drill like the rest of them for installing anchors and stuff if you want a true hammer drill get an SDS end of story
Hey shop tool reviews could you do some reviews of drilling metal?
Drill Steel! There's entire industries of guys using drills every day who never drill into wood. The relationship between torque and speed doesn't translate between wood and steel very well. Steel needs higher speeds and indeed pressure and that's certainly going to be important in which drill you go with but every drill review focuses pretty much entirely on wood, which is less of a challenge in my opinion.
I'm confused with how the chuck works I guess I gotta drill into some more stuff with mine good video
Everyone is always using these 2 and 9 1/16 bits in these tests. What are they really for. Is it for 2 inch pipe
I have this set and use it to drive up to 24in screws doing durolast and tpo
I like the tool
Do you recommend it, how is your battery?
If only an OEM would come up with a middle mechanical gear somewhere between Speed 2 and Speed 1 so that you can still finish large bores faster than Speed 1 without stopping like Speed 2.
Oh wait.... DeWalt foresaw this problem and came up with a solution. Thanks DeWalt!
Great video like always...After all the “hype” the Flex drill is starting to look like all the other drills...Dewalt seems to be still on top especially their 998 & 999 model...👍
DeWalt is indeed on top for the month of April. Check out the Scoreboard here: ruclips.net/video/9DowmObgkU4/видео.html
Dewalt’s warranty isn’t nearly as good as Flex’s.
Honestly, From what I am seeing, Flex is pretty good but is it worth changing platforms? New to tools? No question consider Flex. For now, I'll stick to my RED tools.
I think a year from now or so when we have a more clear vision of what flex is gonna be, I will decide. Their tools look good, but they don’t stand out at all. They have a lot of work to catch up to the competition.
Here’s an interesting question...If Flex didn’t have the side LED on the batteries how many people would have bought the drill???🤔🤔🤔🤔
I like the color scheme! I’ve always wanted a tool company to come out with black and gray tools and a nice looking battery, unfortunately it had to be Flex😝
Something's gotta be wrong with that 2 and 9 1/16 bit. I've seen test where the flex drives those bits like butter.
Yep
What's the difference between FLEX FX1171T and FX1271T ?
127 is a hammer drill
Any one notice the wood was altered kinda hallow how did it split
Thanks for watching.
*Thumbs up*
Thanks for watching.
i know guys like to drive screws in with their drills but the impact driver is actually a better tool to use because of the shorter drive on it...i said to myself when he had the bit and the extension plus the depth of the tool, he's going to fall off of that thing....and he's good at driving in stuff...Joe Homeowner is going to fall flat on his face with all that extra length
Flex was consulted by Tim the tool man Taylor
It's the anti kickback feature stopping it
Do I NEEd turbo? Probably not.
Do I WANT turbo? Absolutely.
Not that anyone asked but, I have yet to see anything about Flex that would make me want to even try it out let alone replace my Makita tools.
Anyone would be crazy to replace Makita, Milwaukee or Dewalt for Flex. Maybe in 5-10 years if Flex is still in existence and “all” my tools need replacement.
Try the 7 1/4 rear handle saw or the 6 1/2 in line saw. Both are better than the Makita. I own the Makita and got tired of being covered in sawdust
I've seen enough Flex demo videos now to convince me that my Makitas aren't going anywhere.
That's a good choice. Regardless if whether some of the FLEX tools may be stronger in some areas, it's not significant enough to replace your Milwaukee. Thanks for watching.
It’s either this or kobalt xtr, just don’t know tho...
I’m going with XTR. Way better value. Plus it has way more tools in its line up
Another Chervon product. I could tell before looking it up.
5amp flex battery 1800cells cant do the hvy duty stuff overheet - u need 2700 cells 8amp battry or need a 4/5 compct battry wit 2700cells
Hmm turbo mode turns itself off? Whatever happened to the “sensor free motor” meh.
Look like one of my newbie worker.
Set the drill speed to high and tweaked his wrist when the drill bind. Spend the rest of the day handicap
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Jobsite entertainment is always great. Thanks for watching.
Wow. Absolutely not impressed. What was all that hype about?
Just a Milwaukee with more features🤦🏻♂️
5.29 , if you need to wiggle a bit sO it will go trough , the drill does not have the sufficient power . PERIOD!
I will not be buying Flex for two reasons. First I have a battery platform I'm happy with. Second, just because they do well in tests doesn't mean they are reliable and have a warranty that is honored. I'll wait to see if they stand the test of time.
Agree. Flex seems to think that Power Tools are meant for winning Power Tool Races on the internet. So they geared their tools to win races against only M18.
I want tools that work when I pick them up. I don't need a Ferrari out of a power tool. A Toyota tool will do.
Let the blade do the work, quit binding the bit by trying to Reem out that hole.
The bit wasn't successfully pulling itself in and he was trying to get it to bite.
He's not reaming, he's adjusting pitch angle in order to adjust the biting surface so it doesn't bind. Very common when using bits that are not new or perfectly sharpened.
