Great new Flex tool!

According to its specs, it is promising indeed! It is a DA with forced rotation.

And look at the NXT as an original accessory...

Data: FLEX Power Tools - Elektrowerkzeuge seit 1922



I have to check it a bit more closely!!!

Re: Great new Flex tool!

Hmm, that does look interesting. Long-throw DA (8mm) with forced rotation. Report back if you get to play with one in person.

Re: Great new Flex tool!

I wonder if that grip handle will fit on a PC?

Re: Great new Flex tool!

It is priced between 380 - 450 Euros, which are roughly USD520 - 610, but remember, here in Europe, every tool is far more expensive than in the US.

Re: Great new Flex tool!

I was looking at that also a week ago. Porta knows a lot about flex. His Top Tool is powered by a flex unit.
