Flex does it again! Awesome! Can't wait to get my hands on one! When will they be in stock at Autogeek?

Cool! I can see a cordless XFE7 being a real win for mobile guys doing AIO jobs.
 
Re: NEX FLEX Cordless Polishers!

Wow these new cordless polishers looks great! I really like thay are so slim and lightwieght.
 
Re: NEX FLEX Cordless Polishers!

curious as to how long the battery lasts, and as the battery depletes how power is handled and if there is a decrease due to power diminishing does it under the polishers speed/motion.

30-40 minutes and no information yet what speed to use within that range, and power dropping when battery in lower condition isn’t mention yet.

I asked the exact same thing on the other thread, when batteries are running low how is it possible to maintain maximum performance.
 
Re: NEX FLEX Cordless Polishers!

Li-Ion batteries (which is probably what they used) deliver same output until they are out of power. So there's no decrease in power but it will die suddenly so you have no way of knowing when it's close.

The way I see this is if the battery lasts long enough to go through 1 or 2 pads, then it's great. You'll have a charger nearby already charging another battery and as you swap pads you swap batteries too. If the weight of the tool didn't get crazy heavy due to the battery, I think this is a winner and will set a new standard. Everyone hates cords.
 
Re: NEX FLEX Cordless Polishers!

So, two batteries included with battery life of 30-40 minutes with an equal charging time. Not bad.

But no forced rotation unit.

The lithium ion battery that I use on my Ryobi power tools is significantly weaker towards the end compared to a fully charged battery. Just like the Flex battery, my Ryobi battery has a charge indicator.

This is my thinking with any battery operated tool as well. Not enough energy to supply full power at the lower end. Cordless polishers are in their infancy so will wait for now.

I believe it was mentioned around the 4:33 mark..........
 
Re: NEX FLEX Cordless Polishers!

Ok. This is sexy.

Forget everyone making videos unboxing the new iPhone, we need more footage and info on these new tools!

I can imagine it would be a lot easier to bring these around and get right to the point showing customers a test spot, and switching out the batteries, also you don’t have to deal with the pain of walking a cord around the car... you could also set these in the Detailer helper belt and just walk around the car!

Very cool!
You look good there Mike! Have fun at SEMA!
 
Re: NEX FLEX Cordless Polishers!

This appeals to me.

Whenever I see a scuff, or paint transfer on a car in a parking lot I give them my business card.

The owner always seems genuinely intrigued or interested in getting it repaired but life happens. People get busy and forget.

With one of these things in my truck when the customer asks when Can I get it done my answer will be NOW!

Re: NEX FLEX Cordless Polishers!

Have like 3 batteries on hand, when it gets low, just pop in a fresh one
