The Elite: Five New 2,000 Watt Angle Grinders

Steinheim, July 2025

FLEX introduces five new high-performance angle grinders in the 2,000 Watt segment – powerful, efficient, and meticulously designed. Whether equipped with a paddle switch, specifically for stainless steel applications, or featuring an effective 150 mm cutting disc, these new models represent the forefront of FLEX's metal expertise, setting new benchmarks in the premium metalworking segment. The machines impress with maximum performance, practical details, and an optimized device design.

Five Powerful Models – Tailored to Professional Demands

1. LBE 20-11 125-EC - The versatile standard model with variable speed.
2. LB 20-11 125-EC - Variant with fixed speed, ideal for clear-cut applications.
3. LBE 20-8 125-EC INOX - Specially optimized for stainless steel applications.
4. LBP 20-11 125-EC - With paddle switch and safety belt hook, predestined for industrial use, such as on shipyards or scaffolding.
5. LBE 20-10 150-EC - Last but not least: Particularly effective due to maximum cutting depth with 150 mm discs.

Specific Application Areas and Strengths of the Machines

The new 2,000 Watt angle grinders from FLEX are specifically designed for the demands of professionals in challenging work environments. Whether in workshops, on construction sites, or in industry, their robust construction, thoughtful ergonomics, and powerful motorization make them the ideal choice for numerous applications.

• Locksmiths and metal construction companies benefit, for example, from the high power density and the ability to work precisely and efficiently even under continuous load – such as when cutting profiles or removing weld seams.
• Industrial companies and shipyards rely on the special paddle switch variant with a safety belt hook, which offers additional safety when working on scaffolding or in hard-to-reach areas.
• Civil engineering and construction require robust machines with high cutting depth – here, the 150 mm model with a powerful EC motor delivers excellent results, for instance, when cutting concrete or natural stone slabs.
• Garden and landscaping as well as stone processing benefit from reliable dust protection thanks to the removable metal protective guard and the particularly handy design – perfect for precise stone cutting or renovation projects in outdoor areas.

Robust. Low Maintenance. Future-Oriented.

The new models are equipped with a brushless 2,000 Watt EC motor that is durable, low-maintenance, and significantly more efficient than conventional brushed motors with an efficiency of 74 percent. This makes them ideal for continuous use in locksmith shops and industry. At the same time, they score points with lower maintenance effort (no carbon brush replacement), a slimmer design, and particularly ergonomic handling.

The slide switch positioned at the top ensures optimal operability for both right- and left-handed users. This is a significant advantage, especially for cutting work where the angle grinder needs to be guided in various positions, such as when cutting tiles or stone.

Another clever optimization of the devices: Speed adjustment is now conveniently done via robust buttons instead of a dust-prone rotary dial. And ergonomically, all of this is also advantageous: "The new device design allowed us to inject soft inserts for better grip and optimized ergonomics," explains Product Manager Sigmar Wagenknecht.

Innovative Technology for Professional Requirements

The new FLEX angle grinders combine intelligent features with practical advantages – always with a focus on the real demands of users in trade, construction, and industry.

• Variable speed adjustment via button press (model-dependent): Six precisely tuned levels enable material-specific work – e.g., slow speeds for INOX applications or controlled cuts on sensitive materials in gardening and landscaping.
• Paddle switch with safety belt hook (LBP 20-11 125-EC): Specially developed for industry – protects during work at heights, such as on shipyards or assembly platforms.
• Anti-Vib side handle: Noticeably reduces vibrations – ideal for long, fatigue-free work when grinding or cutting large metal surfaces.
• Low grip circumference (205 mm): Ergonomically optimized for precise guidance – for example, for pinpoint deburring in metal processing plants.
• Removable metal protective guard: Increases dust protection, extends the machine's lifespan – a real plus in construction and renovation.
• Spindle stop for quick tool changes: Saves time on the construction site or in the workshop – no cumbersome disc changes.
• Soft start, restart protection, overload protection, temperature monitoring, anti-kickback, constant electronics, and brake: Comprehensive safety and comfort functions – particularly relevant for daily continuous use in industry or the construction sector.
• Cutting guard clip: For quick, tool-free adjustment of the protective guard – more flexibility in changing work situations.
• Models with 125 mm and 150 mm disc diameter: Selectable depending on the application – from delicate stainless steel work to deep cuts through natural stone.

These practical features make the new FLEX angle grinders an indispensable tool for any professional who expects performance, safety, and reliability at the highest level.

With the new 2,000-watt angle grinders, FLEX once again demonstrates its consistent focus on professional users – with innovative technology, practice-proven solutions, and a clear focus on metalworking.
