New FLEX Impact Driver VS Milwaukee GEN 3 TOOL TEST (You Won't Believe This!)

My flex impact is the best impact I’ve ever owned. Been doing HVAC for years. Never let’s me down, no issues, and lifetime warranty

What I don’t like Milwaukee I bought the second drill, her issues First issues they had. I couldn’t take or put any. thing in :( second drill first gear is out second one it’s weak :(
And I don’t work them hard 😮😢😢😢
9am won’t last the 5am :( 9 am discharging too fast and won’t charge in full 😮😢😢😢

I just like the FLEX's quick release button

FLEX!

Milwaukee makes Better stronger drills than the one being tested. Brushless as well

I'm not so much into speed as I'm into torque and ergonimics. I'll give flex one thing though, they look damn nice in that color. But that's the least important thing in a tool.
I'm sure they're fine. But I'll stick with Milwaukee and for table saws and the like I go with Dewalt. Dewalt builds sturdy saws. I hate the Milwaukee table saws. Plastic/whimsically over designed feel to it. And the back and forth feels scrapy and cheap.

Do you have information as to what specific models are you comparing?

The short guy is very annoying… not cut out for this

I’m happy with Milwaukee is the best one and you have a lot options with

Why don't any of the impact driver comparisons ever compare the milwaukee surge models?

On thing ive learned from all of these videos is milwaukee makes a bad ass inpact driver

Id prefer a top view

Lifetime warranty is back until Dec 31st 2023.

In 2023 Flex has more than 1 model drill and impact driver. I don't know about 2021. I would like to know the model number of all tested items and prices.

Flex es su primera linea. Me imagino que las próximas que salgan estarán buenas

Strange, I bought one of those 12v flex impacts awhile back, actually really like it. But it seems they’ve taken a 180 approach to the 24v line. My favorite thing about the 12v is the super bright halo light which i would have assumed their higher end line would have only improved upon. Second was the fact the 12v batteries can be used as a powerbank to charge your phone, which the 24v can not. Kinda strange, those were the unique things that made me really like my flex driver

So Lowe’s has this driver 2 battery’s and bag for 100… is it worth it.. not a diyer but I do get thrown into projects to help ppl out.. like building ikea fruniture etc

Flex offers a lifetime warranty on all their tools though so will be going with them if they’re willing to stand by their product longer than everyone else

all i got from this was lets keep trying new batteries until the milwaukee wins but didnt see them try the different flex batteries as they come with 3 different ones that im aware of XD. sounds like a milwaukee commercial haha

Looks like Vince is just stronger

Flex is the Intemenaitor new chief in tools

FLEX FLEX FLEX FLEX FLEX FLEX FLEX

Flex

Dumbest test I’ve ever seen. Great job fellas

Flex has been good for us since we jumped on , no complaints yet!

I actually like the trigger it's slightly rounded

Flex should stick to buffers

To be fair, Milwaukee's 18v compact 1/2 inch drill is one of the finest products ever made. Check project farm.

Seeing this test, (And I hope like hell Milwaukee's seeing it too!!!) long with many others, where Milwaukee, the class favorite, is having durability issues. I'd rather have a battery charger that can change the 12v line which I'm also interested in. I'm shocked to see these build quality issues still apparently plaguing this platform. This is Bull-Sh___ Milwaukee.!!! Get Your Collective Sh!t Together!! At this point, my decision is made to go with Flex, or DeWalt, or even the Craftsman Brushless Line of tools to replace my older stuff that's wearing out from having the hell beaten out of it daily. Totally unacceptable for this type of thing to still be going on with Milwaukee. I'm saddened to see this type of thing continuously.

The quick eject collet on the Flex might sound like a gimmick, but a lot of people like it.
Also, Milwaukee m18 impact drivers have been plagued with collet problems over the years. In fact, the Torque Test Channel pretty much destroyed the collet on the gen 4 during their test.

I have a question any idea where can I find the belt clip for the flex drill I have hard times trying to find the one that fit

Using it in summer time equates to possible shorter life of tool.

Basically shows that Flex is not worth it's price when it's performing like skil... Which I actually use and love.

if i was a new tool buyer i'd probably consider either or. but as someone with an established tool collection and platform, i'm not gonna be swapping brands, unless they keep coming up with something that outperforms by a mile, on every tool, all the time.

They need compare flex to Ryobi

"Trust me, I know how it feels." 😂 😂 😂

Flex wins in my opinion. One battery vs 3

Flex has zero longevity and are only designed to "flex" for videos like this. Flex tools are designed for the DIY guy who spends more time watching videos online about projects than actually doing work. I've worked with Milwaukee tools since they came out with the M18 at a professional level and I can attest to the reliability of them. I work for the largest electrical contractor in the nation on some of the largest projects in the world and this contractor exclusively uses Milwaukee tools. Milwaukee tools are designed to last while at the same time provide the maximum productivity and this is why you will have failsafes scenarios where the tool interrupts its duty cycle to protect components and batteries. Flexs tools is not worried about longevity and this is why they may outperform a Milwaukee at the beginning of these performances tests or these torture tests. Even in this video you can see the Flex tool begins to exhibit degradation while the Milwaukee producers a consistent performance.

Flex used to be a polishers for cars kinda crazy how they do drills now there polishers weren’t cheaper either

Flex seems the real deal

Thank you.

fakest trash millfaki trash influences 💭😭

I just feel that the guy on the black doesn’t know how to handle a Milwaukee tool

You have been Pushing the trigger too hard

Who cares if one is 1 to 2 seconds faster lol. What most of us would like to see is disassembly of each and compair how each is built and the materials used. . I would rather have the one thats going to give me more years of use even if its 1 to 2 seconds slower!

I'm just an amateur part time do it yourselfer and I bought a Flex impact wrench with 3 speeds for my son on his birthday and the charger has a fan on it.! I was surprised.! I I use the Bauer impact wrench myself and love it. Not half the power of the Flex.!

Flex all day

The tools hate the one guy

The trigger issue is its own protective feature against high amps. When you pull the trigger quickly on a fully charged high capacity battery it fails to start to prevent damage.

@vgcconstruction Milwaukee needs pouch/stacked Lithium batteries,I know that definitely is helping the Flex
