The outlook for the brand is uncertain. Some folks think Lowes is dropping the FLEX line completely in 2026, others think this is a way FLEX is clearing out old age inventory and battery's, hence the fire sale pricing. What I know is this...the last time I saw a Big Box store do this, they dropped the line of power tools completely, so be forewarned. If Lowes drops FLEX, that would leave them an online brand only and I don't think they would continue in the USA. I wish I had a concrete answer for you to make a good decision, but I don't. I think we will know more the closer we get to the end of 2025.

Deals like this are a great way to get people started investing in a tool brand. You're more likely to buy more Flex tools if you have some already.
These drills any good? How are the rest of their cordless tools? I'm looking to move to a single manufacturer cordless tool set from my hodge podged corded/cordless ones
They are good. I feel they are powerful and seem durable. They are a little heavier and not as ergonomic as Makita for me, but if tou dont use it a lot, this should not be a problem.

False
Flex = Milwaukee
Kobalt = Ridgid
Skil = Ryobi
Quote from SuburbanDadSJ
[IMG]https://slickdeals.net/images/misc/backlink.gif[/IMG] :
solid stuff. basically the Ridgid of Lowes. Craftsman is their Ryobi
I think Kobalt is the Ridgid of Lowe's. Flex is a step above both, and nearly on par with DeWalt and Milwaukee.
Kobalt are toys. Ridgid and Flex are both above Kobalt, Craftsman, Ryobi. Ridgid and Flex are both below Milwaukee and Dewalt. If you're saying Flex is better than Ridgid thats ok. But Flex is closer to Ridgid than Milwaukee. The proof is the $89 price point on Flex. Can't buy anything Ridgid with 2 batteries and 2 tools for under $200

An auto garage channel shares his experience of Hercules tool, after spending a lot of money on tool truck tools. He thinks Hercules is a good choice

Project farm ranked Hercules 3rd overall in most recent impact driver test. You can see Hercules impact driver vibrates is pretty bad, below average in the impact drivers tested. However, it shines in other areas.

Project Farm's most recent cordless drill test ranked Hercules a bit below average

For woodworking, you can take a look at this person's opinion
https://youtu.be/eTrdYA-n6SI?si=nzgxoLG
He likes the drill given the price, but he did not recommend it purely due to the fact that Hercules cordless tool ecosystem is small compare to Ryobi, Makita, etc. If you want to stick to just one battery platform, that could be a concern.
Personally, if my budget is tight and I can't wait for clearance or fire sale (like this flex deal) for tools, I probably will pick hercules over Ryobi, if I don't plan on stick to just one battery platform. I have a neighbor who buys a lot of Bauer and Hercules tools. He comes and borrow my better tools (especially my Makita 16ga nailer over his bauer nailer when he needs to replace his MDF baseboard) sometimes when his Bauer or Hercules tool struggles with more demanding work.
Another advantage Hercules have over my more expensive tools such as Flex, Bosch, Milwaukee, Makita, dewalt, etc. is I can leave my Hercules tool outside without worry about people stealing it. Even if they do, it's fairly cheap to replace it.
