Re: Pictures: New FLEX PXE by Mike Phillips
looks like there are 2 different batteries for the PXE the smaller 2.0Ah and a 4.0Ah larger (heavier one) Also EC is the standard German designation for a brushless motor. Looks like a great machine hopefully it will be available soon.

Re: Pictures: New FLEX PXE by Mike Phillips
What a great looking tool!
I’ll never forget the first time I was able to compare the hand feel of a FLEX Finisher in my hands vs. RUPES. FLEX screams quality.
The PIXIE just looks like another quality tool. Again, expected from such a company.
It will be some time before I can, but when I do...
It will be like every other time, “Wish I got it sooner!”

The only down fall visually I see is the shank looks taller so it might be harder to get in small places.

Is it a short neck????
Kind of cool so they release a version of the Ibrid and sounds like Rupes will release a version of a cordless full size DA at SEMA... WIN WIN for all of us!

Re: Pictures: New FLEX PXE by Mike Phillips
I would think a competitor to the nano, AND the mini. Being that it can interchange from rotary, be a mini buffer, and cordless Flex is a winner. They just did the cordless 3401 forced rotation as well.

Re: Pictures: New FLEX PXE by Mike Phillips
The only thing I wish this had was the ability to plug it into the wall and use it incase both batteries die.

Re: Pictures: New FLEX PXE by Mike Phillips
Don't worry about that. I have all the Flex cordless polishers. I am getting 40 min run time out of a battery minimum, sometimes more and it takes 40 min to charge a battery so one when one dies the other is ready. Plus you can always buy an extra battery and really have constant power. Polishing without a cord is so much easier than with a cord. No getting the cord caught under tires or around carts etc. The cordless polishers are light, and well balanced and they run quieter than their corded counterparts. No high pitched whine. Once you use a cordless polisher the corded ones feel ancient.

Re: Pictures: New FLEX PXE by Mike Phillips
I kind of assumed this, that one could top up a depleted battery while the other is in use with about the same time passing. Thus no down time of use.
Not sure, about this, but are both the batteries provided with this machine both of the same Ah rating?
Like what you say about easier, and as well quieter. Never yet used a cordless, I had assumed the former, but wasn't sure about the latter.

Re: Pictures: New FLEX PXE by Mike Phillips
I have both 4.0Ah and 2.0Ah 18V batteries. I only use the 4.0Ah batteries and have never used the 2.0Ah one yet. I usually do a whole car with 2 batteries. I run them down to 20% left and then swap in a new one. by the time the second one is at 20% I'm done with the car. Also the first battery has fully charged.
