The new ‪@flexpowertoolsnorthamerica728‬ 24V hybrid jobsite fan can be powered by its 24-volt battery or from a typical extension cord. The brushless motor coupled to an 8-1/2" fan blade delivers up to 1,100 CFM on MAX speed. A variable speed dial allows you to choose the exact speed and output from the FLEX 24V fan. Multiple attachment points make it easy to hang, stand, and even mount to surfaces or tripods. The USB Type C port on the front of the fan provides fast charging for your smartphone and electronic devices. This FLEX FX5471 comes with a 5-year warranty, and by registering your tool before 12/31/22, you get a free upgrade to their lifetime warranty. #lowes #itswhatsnext #flextools #flexstackedlithium

I just noticed brushless tag... It has my attention. The same runtime as the Dewalt. However, the cfm is double. I guess you could say 8 hrs at the same rate. Now if they would just make a vac with brushless for the runtime I would really be convinced.

@Shoptoolreviews 2 года назад

Yes, we would love to see a brushless vac as well. Thanks for watching.

@schm147 2 года назад

Their vac isn't brushless? No wonder it's so cheap

@ggreenwood3310 2 года назад

Caught my interest at Lowes the other day. I use my DeWalt all summer. But double CFM would be nice. I have several 5 and 6 ah DeWalt batteries though. Tough choice. Might have to have a Lowes employee power this thing up for me.

great review. would like to see one on the flex blower behind you on your 5’o clock. there’s no reviews for it yet.

@thehourglasswithaman 2 года назад

I didn’t know they extended the lifetime warranty through 2022. I bought their biggest kit in late 2021 and haven’t used it much since I’ve been off of work but I wanted that lifetime warranty

Hello would you happen to know if this fan has CC/CV module? If it does then regardless of the batteries SOC the fan on high will output 100% air.

Flex gear is looking solid as they keep adding to the platform. Will we ever be able to get flex outside of America? Need this platform in Australia makita is pish.

How many watts does this use when plugged into an extension cord??

@Shoptoolreviews Год назад

Good question. I'm not sure.

@knightofcydonia1192 Год назад

@@Shoptoolreviews Oh! I forgot to update this; I connected it up via a wattmeter standing in-between the extension cord and the fan and it pulls around 48.4 watts on absolute max. That is just NUTS for 1,100 CFM...! For the same CFM rating on a fan from Walmart, you're easily looking at potentially 78-86 watts or so, and they're not even that much cheaper pricewise on average (unless in terms of cheaper we're talking build quality because those walmart fans are made of absolutely CRAP materials especially when compared to this bad boy).

@zoreander Год назад

I just want to throw in my findings. Idk how accurate your readings are, but my watt meter is pulling about 28-29 watts on max which feels more in line with what my other fans are pulling. Either way, incredibly impressive for its size and power

@knightofcydonia1192 Год назад

@@zoreander Thanks for sharing your numbers, they're closely in-line with mine as well, give or take a few more watts. Right??? For its size and power this thing ROCKS.

@weldonpinder7295 2 года назад

what's the definition of a ton of air? I heard the same thing about the DeWalt fan. I heard so many claims about how much air it blows and it blows more than the Milwaukee fan and so I purchased one. when I tried the DeWalt fan I was very disappointed. it turned out that the specs didn't match because it claimed it had more CFM than the Milwaukee and the Milwaukee blew more than the DeWalt. I don't know what's use to measure the CFM but it was way off. the faster a blade moves the more air it gives and the louder the fan is and it shows because the Milwaukee is the loudest so I wonder about this flex fan. it's like deja Vu again. so I'm wondering what's a ton of air

@Jtwizzle 2 года назад

Does the milwaukee maybe have a higher mph but less cfm?

@Factoryseconds123 2 года назад

@@Jtwizzle Milwaukee M18 fan is 284cfm and 17mph. This Flex is 1100cfm and 19mph.

@weldonpinder7295 2 года назад

@@Jtwizzle I'm not sure but I'm am sure that the Milwaukee does blow way more than the DeWalt but on the other hand the Milwaukee is a very old model and the DeWalt has way better features. I'm just curious to see if flex can blow more than the Milwaukee because like I said what's the definition of a ton of air. I'd love to see a head to head video on which one blows more air

@trevorsaunders206 2 года назад

I believe “ton of air” is more a figure of speech… like “shit ton”, just a general way of saying a lot…

@weldonpinder7295 2 года назад

@@trevorsaunders206 I agree I'm just expressing my experience. It's hard to make a decision on what to purchase from watching a review because you can't feel the air the fan is blowing. Now a drill review is different because you can see it

@mikesierra1872 2 года назад

Doesn’t look like it can charge the battery if plugged in. That would be nice.

@Shoptoolreviews 2 года назад

Nope, it does not and cannot charge the 24v battery when plugged in.

@Jtwizzle 2 года назад

Similar to the dewalt but more features. To see the battery level on dewalt you have to remove the battery, and no usb. Time for dewalt to release a new model.

@Factoryseconds123 2 года назад

Dewalt just released a new fan a few months ago. The new one takes away the 120v plug that the old one had.
