FLEX 24V Drill Sets: Drill Only or Full Combo Kit?

Torque is twisting force, measured here in inch-pounds (in-lb). More torque drives longer screws and bigger drill bits without stalling. Turbo Mode is FLEX’s setting for increased speed. A drill driver drills holes and drives screws; an impact driver adds rapid hammering blows while turning, which helps sink long screws and lag bolts. A hammer drill adds forward pounding, measured in IPM (impacts per minute), for drilling into brick and concrete. Stacked lithium is FLEX’s newer battery design, which the listing says brings more power, longer life and faster charging.

The FLEX 24V Brushless Cordless 2-Tool Compact combo kit pairs a 1/2-inch 2-speed compact drill driver with a 1/4-inch hex compact impact driver, two 2.5Ah batteries and a 160W fast charger. The description says the compact drill is 17% more compact and 22% lighter than the FX1151 drill, making it easier to reach between studs and hold overhead, and it delivers 650 inch-pounds of torque.

The specs list 1,800 RPM. The listing does not give separate specs for the impact driver. Its warranty note offers a limited lifetime warranty for registrations within 30 days of purchase through December 31, 2025, so confirm the current terms before buying.

This suits someone who values light weight, like a first apartment owner hanging shelves. For more power, the FXM204-2B is the step up. If a pair of drivers is what you want, our guide to the FLEX drill and impact driver combo goes deeper.

The FLEX 24V Brushless Cordless 2-Tool Combo kit includes the FX1171T 1/2-inch 2-speed drill driver with Turbo Mode, rated at 1,400 in-lbs and 2,500 RPM, and the FX1371A 1/4-inch quick eject hex impact driver with multi-mode control, rated at 2,500 in-lbs and 4,000 RPM. Quick eject lets you pop bits out quickly.

It comes with one 2.5Ah and one 5.0Ah battery, a 160W fast charger, two bits, bit holders and a belt clip. The feature list gives a 5-year limited warranty with registration and 3 years without, while the spec line mentions a lifetime warranty. The listed kit weight is 17.6 pounds.

This is the sweet spot for most homeowners: a strong drill plus a powerful impact driver. It does not have hammer mode, so choose the FXM202-2K for masonry.

The FLEX 24V Brushless Cordless 1 2-Inch drill driver kit (the 1/2-inch FX1151-2A) is a single 2-speed drill with 750 in-lbs of torque and up to 2,200 RPM. It has a 1/2-inch all-metal ratcheting keyless chuck, an LED light and a compact size for tight spaces. The listing says it can drill up to 80 one-inch spade bit holes in 2×4 lumber on a 2.5Ah battery.

The kit includes two 2.5Ah batteries and a 160W fast charger. There is no impact driver or Turbo Mode.

This is the simplest FLEX drill set for a first-time buyer or a gift for someone who just needs a reliable drill.

The FLEX 24V Brushless Cordless Hammer Drill kit pairs the FX1271T 1/2-inch 2-speed hammer drill with Turbo Mode, rated up to 1,400 in-lbs, 2,500 RPM and 40,000 IPM, with the FX1371A quick eject impact driver at 2,500 in-lbs and 4,000 RPM. It includes two 2.0Ah stacked lithium batteries and a 160W fast charger.

The listing claims 200% more power, 300% longer battery life with THERMA-TECH+ and 100% faster charging for stacked lithium, and full compatibility with all FLEX 24V tools and chargers. It carries a 5-year limited warranty with registration. One spec line gives a wood drilling capacity of 0.5 inches, which seems to describe the chuck size rather than hole size.

Pick this kit to drill into brick or concrete, such as mounting a TV on a masonry wall.

The FLEX 24V Brushless Cordless 6-Tool Combo kit includes the FX1251 hammer drill (750 in-lbs, 35,200 IPM), the FX1351 impact driver (1,800 in-lbs, 3,400 RPM), the FX2141 7-1/4-inch circular saw (2-9/16-inch depth of cut, 5,800 RPM), the FX4111 oscillating multi-tool (20,000 OPM), the FX2271 reciprocating saw with orbital and linear modes, and a work light, plus 2.5Ah and 5.0Ah batteries and a 160W charger.

The kit weighs 44 pounds per the listing. The reciprocating saw’s stroke spec is garbled in the listing, so check the product page. For the multi-tool, see our FLEX oscillating tool guide.

This suits a new homeowner outfitting a garage for renovations. Two batteries for six tools means swapping often.

The FLEX 24V Brushless Cordless 1 2-Inch drill driver Turbo Mode kit (the 1/2-inch FX1171T-2B) is the strongest single drill here at 1,400 in-lbs and up to 2,500 RPM. It adds anti-kickback braking that detects jams, a full-metal ratcheting chuck with carbide teeth and an LED light. It includes one 2.5Ah and one 5.0Ah battery and a 160W charger.

Choose it for big bits and long screws without needing an impact driver. It gives the same drill found in the FXM204-2B combo, so if you think you may want an impact driver later, the combo kit can be the better long-term buy, while this kit suits someone who only ever drills and drives.
