Flex updates its 24V cordless platform with the FX1372 One-Touch impact driver, refining bit insertion and control for professional users.
Flex has updated its high-performance cordless range with the release of the FX1372 One-Touch Impact Driver. Building on its previous 24V Quick-Eject platform, the new model focuses on refining user ergonomics, bit retention, and electronic mode control rather than simply chasing raw torque figures.
The updated tool retains the core 24V battery architecture, aiming to give trade professionals smoother bit changes and precise control when driving fixings into varied materials. The emphasis on incremental refinement highlights a broader trend among power tool manufacturers to improve everyday usability and durability over headline performance statistics.
What does this mean for a UK tradesperson or DIYer actually buying this kit — does it change what they should pay, buy, or watch out for?
For UK electricians, joiners, and general builders evaluating high-power 18V and 24V platforms, the FX1372 offers refined bit handling, but it does not make existing Flex impact drivers obsolete. If you are already invested in the Flex 24V battery ecosystem, this model is a solid addition if you require precise speed control for delicate fixings alongside heavy-duty driving tasks. However, UK buyers should note that Flex remains a secondary brand in major UK trade counters like Screwfix or Toolstation compared to DeWalt or Makita, meaning battery cross-compatibility and local tool hire availability should be weighed up before switching platforms entirely.
There is no need to rush out and replace a working FX1371 or equivalent high-torque impact driver. Consider the FX1372 primarily if you are expanding your kit and frequently swap hex bits one-handed on site.
