How FLEX finally beat Milwaukee!
In this week’s Power Tool Week in Review, one of the most exciting battles unfolded between FLEX and Milwaukee. The competition was fierce, and FLEX finally claimed the top spot in the rear handle circular saw category. This week’s episode also featured a variety of tool reviews, from impact wrenches to chainsaws and track saws. Let’s dive into the details!
The Ultimate Rear Handle Circular Saw Showdown
The FLEX rear handle circular saw faced off against Milwaukee, DeWalt, Makita, and Metabo HPT. @PhillyFixed led the test, evaluating the saws on performance, ergonomics, and durability. All the saws used Spider Tarantula blades, ensuring a level playing field. The FLEX stood out for its impressive ergonomics, smooth cutting, and unique dust management system. Unlike Milwaukee, FLEX kept the sawdust away from the user. With its comfortable design and powerful cuts, the FLEX rear handle earned the top spot in this highly competitive category.
More Tools Put to the Test
Other highlights included @arduinoversusevil2025 taking on the Makita KP0800 planer in his BOLTR review. After a teardown, he found it was a solid choice for hobbyists, though not quite professional grade.
- @ManCaverTools tested the Best 12V Impact Driver of 2022. His fast-paced review compared top brands like Milwaukee, Makita, and Hilti. The result was clear: one brand stood out in speed, power, and heat management.
- @ToolsAndStuffOfficial introduced the Makita GSA-01 40V blower with new attachments for various uses, from inflating pool floaties to deflating bags. The review highlighted the tool’s versatility and convenience for shop owners.
- @TinkerWithTools put the Metabo HPT 36V reciprocating saw through tough challenges like rebar cutting. His review detailed how the saw held up in extreme conditions.
- @MasteringMayhem tested gas vs. electric chainsaws in a head-to-head challenge. While gas chainsaws are powerful, the electric models, like the EGO chainsaw, continue to impress with their performance.
