    Re: NEW FLEX Cordless 3401 aka the FLEX Cordless BEAST!

    I like the new design. Hopefully it will run cooler. The one thing I never liked about my original 3401 is how hot the metal shroud got.

    I agree. Cordless has been the trend for other tools industries for decades, now detailing.

    Sorry to hear that. Someone at SEMA asked me if I was the guy that came up with the nickname the Finisher and I told them "no" it was a guy on the AGO discussion forum. You get all the credit for the Finisher nickname. I'm happy to take credit for the BEAST nickname. And for anyone that has not seen last year's FLEX catalog or this year's FLEX catalog the FLEX company OFFICIALLY does in fact refer to these two tools and the Beast and the Finisher.

    Pretty cool to be the two guys that were able to nickname MAJOR tools in our industry.

    What a home run Flex!

    I agree. There's more to come in the future.

    My guinea pig car to test out the Cordless BEAST will be here today or tomorrow. Or maybe we should just call it the,

    CBEAST


    I've been told it's in rough shape so this should be a great car to really put the CBeast through it's paces.

    Well I see you did win a prize! The FLEX crew and Bob know you well, it will get lots of use and get an honest opinion on the performance. FLEX has pushed up the 'bar' for the competition on forced rotation units!

    Have fun and hope to try it in 2019.

    Fantastic!

    Wow, that is awesome Bob gave you #1 Mike, what an honour & a worthy recipient indeed.

    I had wondered if this CBEAST was still in the pipeline, it had gone quiet with any mentions of it. Us Kiwis only started getting the Cordless XFE15 150 a couple of Months back (I believe I had the first two in NZ . . . okay, one belongs to Ange, she wanted her own one after using mine.) & I am very pleased with its performance to date. Such a sweet feeling tool in hand, the build quality & balance is typical Flex - beautiful.

    We are yet to have the Cordless PE but after using the Milwaukee Cordless Rotary for quite some time now, the Flex is on my list of must haves.

    This one though! This one I will be pining for! I want this in my arsenal for sure. I'm guessing I will be waiting alot longer than you guys State side & although not the best at being patient . . . . I'll wait the best I can.

    Thank you for the review Mike, congratulations on the new additions to your collection & big props to Flex for not only producing brilliant tools but for recognising the asset i our industry that is Mr Mike Phillips!

    I have not heard anything about a new version of the corded FLEX 3401 coming out but it could be,

    I'm out of the loop.
    Didn't ask.
    Or don't remember.

    I can put in a good word for you but once these tools go into full production it's going to be the luck-of-the-draw


    Bob told me over the phone he doesn't expect these new CBEASTs to start shipping until July BUT if they start shipping sooner then I'm confident that Autogeek will have a great promotion going...

    Re: NEW FLEX Cordless 3401 aka the FLEX Cordless BEAST!

    Did Flex stick with the 8mm orbit on the cordless or did they opt for a smaller orbit and faster forced spin to save on battery power?

    8mm

    Good question.


    My demo car just arrived, she's an old 2-door Chevy and paint is hacked-up.
