Why Buy An Inline Saw?? || FLEX FX2131A-1C || Circular Saw Kit 

Sweet. FYI, just so you know, one of my 6.0ah stacked lithium batteries I have died on me for no good reason. I called Flex and the call lasted just over 7 minutes. They asked my info and a shipping address and that was it. No other questions asked. Said they are shipping a new one out within 48 hrs. Simple as that.

I have this saw and like it a lot. One thing that I really appreciate is how quickly the brake brings the blade to a stop.

I bought the drill driver combo after watching your preview on the channel and I have no regrets in my decision. Thank you for sharing this about the new skill saw just might have to add it to my arsenal

Another great tool and I like inline saws; but, alas an old guy like me isn't ready to start a new battery line. If only I were 40 years younger. Mike, you're doing an outstanding job on your channel.

These tools are impressing me. Great video. Also would love to see some project videos

Lol, I love depth beeps. Every tool should have one.

where can we buy this sir???

Register it for that lifetime warranty brother it's fast and easy just read out the numbers and models and it's warranted for life I'm about to have to warranty my second tower light come to find out it doesn't like the 10.0 stacked battery hooked straight up to it or bad 😢 switch 😢😢

Stack pack vid still in the works?

BLAH BLAH BLAH Show us how well it works for freak sake

The slim profile make this saw very useful with a homemade track, there is no motor to interfere with the clamps.

Hi, I'm from EU and we have flex but different. This "new inline saw" has been sold in europe from flex model CS 45 18.0-EC C since 2021. Major difference is 18v platform and disk diameter 128mm(5 inch I think~). Flex is credited for inventing angle grinder in 1954 and in europe many nations call(nick name) angle grinders a flex/fleksa/fleksis/etc. Flex tools in europe are painted red and battery platform is 18v.

Very impressive review! Thank you for no boring and annoying music and just sticking to the credentials, valid points, and necessary context to consider this as a purchase. I’m actually impressed myself!

I bought the Flex 6 1/2" inline saw at Lowes, and it's an amazing saw. I got it because it's maybe the best designed saw on the market, with full dust control, while retaining left blade visibility, and it's also belt drive, allowing the deepest cut of any 6 1/2 or 7 1/4 inch cordless saws at 2 9/16" depth. The saw addresses the main problem with worm drive saws, which is the lack of dust control. Flex solved the left blade dust problem with the amazing dust port and adjustable elbow that blows most of the dust away from you. What I've found (and wasn't expecting at all) is that Flex has better quality control than Milwaukee on their circular saws. I tried two Milwaukee #2732 M18 cordless 7 1/4" circular saws with a right blade configuration (their new flagship model) brand new from Home Depot, and both saws were misaligned by .020" on the shoe plate, so they were useless for precision straight edge guided cuts, because the blade would leave severe blade marks. I was really shocked to see such a horrible misalignment. It has permanently ruined my respect for Milwaukee. A .020" misalignment is probably the worst misalignment you can find. The Flex saws, both that I've purchased, are absolutely 0.000" dead parallel between the blade and the shoe. Another surprise is that the Flex saw motors sound dramatically better than the horrible shrill sound of the Milwaukee M18 model #2732 which produces a bad gear whine and motor whine. In Project Farm's tests, a Flex 7 1/4" right blade saw performed at or near the top in every test. When factoring in their ergonomics, metal parts, perfect accuracy out of the box, their current pricing and current lifetime warranty option, they really might be the best cordless saw.

I love the idea of this Saw. I just can't find it cheeper than 7 1/4" Rear Handle Frame'n circular saw. My area Lowe's Stores don't carry this saw.? They're literally the same price. I'm in the market for a 6.5" left blade saw. If money wasn't an issue(meaning, about 45 minutes after it's not an issue, I'd likely pick one these badboyz up!🤓).SKIL seems to have the best deal going right now for a 6.5", left blade, circular saw. At least, SKIL is in the same wheel house, as FLEX, though maybe not quite pro-level.!

This saw was my first Flex brand tool. I love it. I am slowly switching over to flex. Too many m18 battery failures to stay with milwaukee....

thanks for the unboxing and demonstrate I think it's a nice tool and a partner in a DIY project both circular saw and portable drill/driver God bless you

I'm New to buying DeWalt or Craftsman. Do you still recommend the Flex circular saw? An answer would be great

This or SKIL PWR CORE 20™ XP Brushless 20V 7-1/4 In. 5300 RPM, Circular Saw Kit Includes 4.0Ah Lithium Battery and Quick Charger- CR5440B-10

Bought that same combo on Ebay and like a seen from Jason the horror came in in black goo leaking from all batteries. Called Flex and since I bought them online and not Lowes they will not replace them. Problem is that they did not make it public about their horrible battery crisis and they ONLY helped people that would call in so f*&^* everyone else who did not call in because they didn't know about flex replacing the bad batteries. Replacement batteries are very expensive, I just bought be a drill with cord instead for $40.

Your volume on this video is way too low

got the kit today from Lowes for 189.00, cant wait to use

I bought this today, set it all up and was wondering inquisitively about that plastic piece, thank you so much for solving the puzzle for me, how is this saw holding up for you? 🤭👍

Bought one a few weeks ago and that saw has far exceeded expectations. It's so good and has several kind of hidden features that are very useful

That’s funny I was just researching to see if anyone else had the same issue with their battery being loose on the drill cause mine is like that but can’t remember if my first drill was loose as well. But my circular saw 7 1/4 is loose as well as the drill. So funny to find it in this video that had nothing to do with it, was just curious to know what the hype was about the inline saw haha

Give me a link where to buy this complete set

Another thing is the quality of the flex blade. Im normally a Diablo fanatic but this blade surprised me.

We use skill saw all day everyday, this one is hands down the best. It isn’t even close, and if it takes a battery we’ve tried it. We are a solid flooring manufacturer using mostly reclaimed material. Cuts through 2x heart pine like butter, and handles 2x oak joist much better than any of their competition.

If you need a new shop vac try a dewalt stealthsonic 12 gallon. Also the cen tec hose kit with the power tool adapters is really nice

Where can I purchase this flex range? The website only stocks the red tools

Thanks for this video review! New subscriber here. I am going to dtart my FLEX journey tomorrow, as a Packout guy. I see no reason not to run both platforms, as they are just Lego for men. This saw will be my second FLEX purchase.

You are great at what you do , sir! --Another great presentation by you! Thank you so much for your insights and best of luck with your channel.

Nice saw bud. Still haven’t tried that one yet. Don’t feel bad man, the filter in my vacuum doesn’t look much better😂. Take care and the best of luck with the channel

I’ve had mine almost 2 years now and swear by it, became my only circsaw. I’ve also recommended to a bunch of folks who now swear by it also.

Is there a track kit that would fit the flex saw?

I wish I was as cool as Mike so tool makers would send me cool stuff to try out

Just bought this saw, really good bang for the buck vs Milwaukees $249 for just the tool lol.

I'm seriously impressed! I bet your arm was sore after all those cuts. 😊

Almost like an angry beaver mated with the Energizer Bunny. It should have the Founder's Lifetime warranty, rather than 5 years. The reciprocating saw and oscillating multi tool would round out what I consider to be the complete core tool set. Hopefully you can get your hands on those. Great video, Mike!

I bought this saw,got home, opened it up the battery leaking in the box, took it back to lowes got another one, same thing, buyers beware. battery leaking also, buyers beware.

Hey @Mike this one just hit me in the head. Do know if flex has any plans or even any interest in putting out any kind of a table saw table saw?

Excellent review. Thanks so much! I'm about to circle back and watch the drill/driver review.

Dang! I just placed an order for a Worx cir saw & I wish you had put a link to this Flex!

Flex is the absolute best brand of tools I own. The stacked lithium batteries are even more impressive.

Great channel!! Very informative on everything you do and test!! Thanks for the great content 👍👍

flex kicks ass, i wish i could afford to switch platform

Another great review on a great looking saw I love how streamlined it is and that battery holds its own

I love this saw I use it a ton it's just so handy and easy to work with.

Did it heat up during the cuts at all? Did you do the cuts all at once?
