    Those must be the CBEAST kits and not the bare tools. Wish they would have sent a few bare tools with the kits. Oh well they will be here soon enough

    How about his idea,

    The engineers actually know what they are doing.


    They've made changes to the head unit to accommodate FEEDBACK from real-world users.


    • The handle has been removed. No handle means no handle to break off.
    • The physical design of the head unit is changed and along with the changes the tool is now SMOOTHER and QUIETER.



    There's probably other things too but the above is what I can remember from Chris Metcalf.

    Re: Flex b here!

    Yeah I get all that
    But why make it correct slower is what I. Was asking
    Same mm offset, sams OPM, less RPM = slower correction speed
    Perhaps to make more smoother to be more enjoyable for end user?

    The other improvements were needed for sure
    Still wish they didn't go with the 3 mounting point backing ate system...so hopefully version 3 of that actually fixed the issue, or it'll look bad for them once again

    Have you ever used the new FLEX 3401?

    You're go-to is the Makita PO5000C correct?

    It works like a charm.

    I've pushed the new backing plate and tool to the max and ZERO problems.

    Why is it such a bad thing for a detailer, or enthusiast, to share their opinion about a brand or product?

    That is the great thing about having options, different strokes for different folks.

    No one is saying you shouldn't express your opinion.
    I'm glad both of yall discussing it.

    I'm reading and learning

    Re: Flex b here!

    Both the PXE and CBEAST are beautiful, sucks the batteries are so expensive. You can typically get a 2 pack of Dewalt, Makita or Milwuakee batteries @ Home Depot for $99. $99 for a single 2.5ah 12v or the CBEAST battery is hard to swallow. I understand the tool's very high quality so the price of that makes sense to me. But to be twice as expensive with the batteries is rough imho. *AND* they don't have a dual battery charger. If I get both tools I'll probably have 2-3 batteries for each. Flex, make a dual slot charger! or even a quad? lol
