In this video I unbox and demo the “newish” Flex 24V compact drill/impact combo kit I grabbed during the Father’s Day / Fourth of July sale stuff. You’re getting the two tools, two 2.5Ah batteries (and I’ll say it again—Flex 2.5s are freaking awesome, some of the best batteries I’ve used), plus the rapid charger, belt clip, and bits. The whole point here is Flex finally doing compact options, because the bigger hammer drill is a tank and apparently some folks have “little twig arms” and need lighter tools. I run through the specs, modes, and the feel in-hand, then I put them to work in real wood. The compact impact has three speeds plus bolt mode, and it’s quick driving 6-inch screws into a pressure-treated 6x6. I do call Flex out though: this compact impact doesn’t have the patented quick-eject collet like my main Flex impact (the “Big Daddy”), and in 2023 that’s kind of annoying. Then I drill hard with a 1" self-feed bit and even a 2-9/16" Milwaukee Switchblade—especially with the stacked lithium battery, it’s a game changer. Bottom line: these compact Flex tools are light, strong, and honestly impressed the crap out of me. Full reviews are coming.
