Name That Tool & Win! New FLEX XFE Needs a Name!

[Mike@DedicatedPerfection]

Since it's 3pm on a Friday in Germany already, I suppose this answer will come in the next few hours?

Mike, can you please explain the work ethic of Germans on a friday afternoon? I have a feeling it's not what we have here in the US.

It's 20:20 currently and I know the Germans do not procrastinate. (I work hand in hand with them) I have no idea what Flex has planned but usually something like this would be finished up by lunch. This way the "news" can be pushed out to intended recipients in the afternoon with a few hours to utilize on the receiving end.

This usually goes for all things. Germans normally seem like they are in a hurry. Especially the males. When there is something to do it gets done pronto.

Same thing goes when driving on the Autobahn. Either move along or get passed.

I personally don't think they have chosen any of the names submitted here and will not be giving one away. This machine was sent into production months ago and they still haven't gotten a name or release date yet? Something smells funny about this. Mike has it right, there is something going on for them not to have their collective crap together about this. All I know is that I have waited until the free spindle 15 comes out before I make a decision as to what brand of machine I will buy, but at this rate, it looks like I may be able to scratch one off the list.

I'm hoping to have an answer today guys.

5 days later....

I agree, they must have not liked any of the names chosen.

I've never been more ready to pull the trigger and upgrade to my 1st long throw polisher. There's only 2 things that have held me back these past few days..
1. The new 15mm FLX isn't available yet.
2. I'm still hoping I'm the lucky winner and they choose my name!

I am right there with you man! I don't believe that they have the product ready yet let alone that they would use us to pick a name. My experience in the Production world tells me there is a snag in the works somewhere and they were perhaps premature in the unveiling, let alone the release dates. This has to be very embarrassing for Flex. I know I would be.
I know that I am not going to sit on the fence for very much longer because I have other things to do than wait like this. I'm going to give it another week and then I will pull the trigger on a Rupes or Griots model. It's called the invisible hand of the marketplace for a reason.

This thread is a joke. How about Nick step up and shed some light on the problem. Rather than keep string everyone out. If this is how Autogeek is run, I'll be purchasing my tools and supplies elsewhere
