These are great.

Re: NEW Cordless FLEX Tools at Autogeek Rotary and Orbital Polishers
Mike Thank you very much for the thread. Answers a lot of my questions. I see some fantastic ideas on these tools. I plan to order both when available. One more question, what is the difference between the XFE15 series of polishers and the XC3401 which was also announced to be coming out cordless at SEMA but at a later date?

The FLEX XFE15 series are free spinning, 15mm long stroke orbital polishers.
The FLEX 3401 series are gear-driven 8mm short stroke orbital polishers.
And yes, the gear-driven FLEX 3401 is coming out as a cordless tool.
I just sent a text to my buddy with the uber cool car asking him when I can get it down here to AG to buff out using these two tools so I can write a full review based upon real world, real car detailing.

Re: NEW Cordless FLEX Tools at Autogeek Rotary and Orbital Polishers
In what scenario do you see the use of them?
As a full correction compound/polish?
As in when you only need to remove the light wash indused swirls?
As a spot correction tools?
Do you see one use them as the only tools for paint correction in a shop setup or mobile detailer? If they also release a 3" cordless polisher in the future.
If the price is right I will really consider one of them after I get a 3" polisher. Maybe I go with the cordless rotary polisher and use different backing plate to it.
Will be interesting to read about when you use it on a full correction that you seems to have the near future. And when they releases to the public and what others think of it too.

Re: NEW Cordless FLEX Tools at Autogeek Rotary and Orbital Polishers
***Update***
Spoke with Bob Eichelberg this morning, he said the goal it to have them in stock here at Autogeek in March of 2018.
I'll have mine at the upcoming boat detailing class and the upcoming 3-day car detailing class for everyone attending either or both of these classes to use them on our training boat and training cars.

I haven't done the spray detailer/spray wax thing but I have cleaned the windshield inside/out while waiting for my son's baseball practice to end. #Hatedirtyglass

Re: NEW Cordless FLEX Tools at Autogeek Rotary and Orbital Polishers
***Update***
I took pictures of the cooling intake and exhaust vents on the batteries and added them to my first post.
Previously I only had pictures of the wire mesh filter screens on the tool body.
Heat is the biggest enemy to rechargeable batteries and FLEX has engineered a built-in air cooling system to keep the batteries cool.
