Monster Flex 24V Brushless Driver With 2500 Inch-Pounds Of Torque.
Monster Flex 24V Brushless Driver – German power tool maker Flex has released its Flex FX1371A 24V brushless, cordless impact driver, with a wrist-snapping 2500 inch-pounds of torque.
This is a big, powerful driver that reaches maximum torque at 4500rpm – remember impact drivers reach peak torque at high revs, unlike standard power drills, which product maximum twist low down in the rpm range.
The Flex 24V has 3 standard speeds, along with 2 self-tapping screw modes, and there’s a quick eject collet that opens the collet without the operator needing to release the handle. This feature is accessed via a button on the handle above the trigger.
Quick releaser speeds up the process of bit swaps, given you don’t need both hands to rack the collet. There’s also a benefit when working in complex locations – the less upper body movement the better your balance remains, especially if you’re unable to move your feet.
The FX1371A version of this driver has dimensions of 15xm x 7.6cm x 21cm and weighs 2.2kg with a 5Ah battery – other models are more compact. There’s good grip from the curved handle with its rubber covering and overall build quality is high.
Other features include a foot-mounted LED light, a belt hook and 4-LED charge indicators on both sides. Warranty is 5 years on tool and battery but this jumps to a lifetime warranty with registration via Flex Founders program.
The Flex comes in multiple kits, including the FX1371A-2B with 2.5Ah and 5.0Ah battery, the FX1371A-1H with a 6.0Ah stacked lithium battery, the FXM202-2G, which is a hammer drill and impact driver stacked lithium combo, and the FXM403-2G, which is a hammer drill, impact driver, circular saw, LED light stacked lithium combo.
In terms of performance, the benefits of the Flex 24V are rapid fastening in tough applications, though you need to be careful when using long fasteners, adaptors and longer drill bits – especially in the presence of inertia. Under these conditions the power of the Flex 24V will snap them like twigs.
