New Flex 24V Power Tools: Five Releases Worth Watching

Introduction

Flex has been quietly building one of the more interesting cordless tool lineups around, and this latest batch of 24V releases keeps that momentum going. The company sits under the Chervon umbrella alongside EGO and Skil, so it is not a newcomer backing its tools, and the new announcements cover a genuinely wide range: sanding, inspection lighting, grinding, and two takes on the right angle drill.

Everything covered here was slated to launch in July 2023, with prices not announced at the time of the reveal. One detail that does stand out: Flex extended a lifetime warranty promotion, originally set to end in December 2022, into 2023, which applies to these tools.

Flex 24V Orbital Sander

The new 24V orbital sander leans fully digital. Instead of a traditional adjustment dial, speed selection sits at your fingertip with push-button controls offering settings one through three plus a dedicated turbo mode. Turbo is a Flex signature across its lineup, and seeing it on a sander is unusual in a good way.

On paper, the headline number is 13,000 oscillations per minute on turbo, which Flex claims is class-leading for aggressive removal of paint, stain, and other surface material. On the highest standard setting, Flex quotes 30 minutes of run time, likely on a larger capacity battery pack, though that pairing was not explicitly specified.

If you spend hours sanding, the combination of fingertip speed control and a turbo burst for stubborn material should make this an easy tool to live with.

Flex 24V Inspection Light

The 24V inspection light is aimed squarely at anyone who works in dark, awkward spaces. The head offers a 180-degree pivot and a 270-degree swivel for multi-directional lighting, and there are three brightness settings reaching up to 1,000 lumens, with lower steps around 250 and 500 lumens for close work.

Mounting flexibility is the other half of the story: a sliding hook, a belt clip, and a built-in magnet give you several ways to park the light exactly where you need it hands-free.

For mechanics, HVAC technicians, and plumbers who routinely work in dim corners, this is the kind of tool that earns its spot in the bag quickly.

Flex 24V Die Grinder / Straight Grinder

Next up is a die grinder, or straight grinder depending on your vocabulary. Flex quotes up to 28,000 RPM with what it calls unmatched power, backed by anti-kickback and advanced braking technology so the tool stops fast and does not wrench itself out of your hands.

Other details include touch control for adjustable speeds matched to the application, a spindle lock for quick accessory changes, and a slim ergonomic body designed to stay comfortable over long sessions. The slim profile also helps it reach tighter areas where a bulkier grinder simply will not fit.

Flex positions it for carving wood, marble, and granite, and for working metal with burrs with ease.

Flex 24V Right Angle Drill

The full-size right angle drill is the muscle option of the pair. Flex quotes an industry-leading 2,400 inch-pounds of torque along with turbo mode for maximum power and speed, reaching up to 1,650 RPM in gear two. It is a half-inch chuck model, built around a magnesium gearbox with anti-kickback protection.

Comfort and handling get attention too: an ergonomic top handle and a rubber-covered Raptor hook for hanging the tool between tasks. This is the version for tradespeople who need straight-up driving and boring power and do not want to compromise.

Flex 24V Compact Right Angle Drill

The compact variant trades some muscle for access. Torque drops to 1,680 inch-pounds, still substantial, with the same 1,650 RPM top speed and the same magnesium gearbox construction and anti-kickback protection. Notably, it does not get turbo mode; that feature stays exclusive to the full-size model.

The payoff is a lighter, slimmer tool that is easier to get into tight framing cavities and between joists. If your work is mostly light-duty fastening in cramped spaces, the compact version covers it without the extra bulk.

Buying Advice for the Flex 24V Lineup

Choosing between these five comes down to your trade and your tasks. The orbital sander suits finish work and surface prep, and its turbo mode gives it an edge when stripping old material. The inspection light is a near-universal add-on for anyone working in dim mechanical spaces, and its mounting options make it genuinely hands-free.

The die grinder targets metalwork and detailing, where its 28,000 RPM and braking tech matter most. For drilling in framing and tight cavities, the choice is simpler: pick the full-size right angle drill if you want maximum torque and turbo mode, and the compact version if access matters more than raw power. Either way, the extended lifetime warranty promotion makes the timing of a purchase worth checking before you buy, since terms were set to run through 2023.

Prices had not been announced ahead of the July 2023 launch window, so it is worth confirming current pricing and availability before committing to a platform.

Conclusion

Flex continues to expand its 24V lineup at an impressive pace, and these five releases cover real jobsite needs rather than filling catalog gaps. Strong specs, thoughtful features like turbo mode and anti-kickback, and a lifetime warranty promotion make the lineup easy to take seriously. If any of these tools match your day-to-day work, they deserve a spot on your shortlist.
