    And the new 3401 will have a cordless option too, that’s awesome.

    I agreed with that. I hope it is not an only battery tool.

    They look really nice but my first thoughts are:

    You're gonna need way more than 2 batteries or you're going to be buying batteries quickly due to max charge cycles.

    They are going to charge a serious premium for the batteries and it would be (and I'm assuming they're not) great if you could use
    some more generic-y battery like Makita or DeWalt or .....

    If they offered an AC adaptor cord w/ a dummy battery on the end so the device is NOT limited to battery-only.

    I've settled on one brand of cordless tool for exactly this reason. Depending on what you're doing you need several batteries. Needing several x multiple brands just makes for too many batteries to manage, as well as chargers. I have one charger for all my cordless tools and enough batteries in different sizes that are always charged.

    Not saying I wouldn't break that rule for one of the new Flex tools, but needing another set of batteries and another charger is a concern for some of us.

    So me being a mobile guy this new cordless Flex da is the perfect tool not only can I carry it in a detail back with me when I go to car shows to do test Bots for potential customers but when I'm doing a basic wash in a car and if a customer happened to say hey I've got this scratch over here you think you can get it out I don't have to set everything up pull out the polisher my generator extension cord plug it in drag out a hundred foot 1/4 what not I just pop in the battery work the scratch and be done with it so yes for practical use as a mobile detailer this is genius if I was detailing entire car I don't see this being very practical or something that I'd use
