FLEX does it again

Would Recommend

Tons of power! More than my corded Bosch I think. It's the entire FLEX line, just powerful and smartly designed. As with all told from most companies, my gripe is always no or little onboard storage. Like a jigsaw, it would be so easy to put it in the handle or something. Not that I use a spanner wrench, it should be stored in the tool.

Nice

Would Recommend

Powerful and comfortable grinder. Only used it once to cut a 3/4 quartz with a diamond blade - no problem. The only thing I don’t like so far is the arbor diameter. Why make it 5/8”, if it’s a 5” grinder ??

Why 5/8?

Good tool except for the 5/8 arbor. Hard to find discs that fits as the majority are 7/8 arbor.
