6mm Gear-Driven Adapter: Positive Pad Rotation​

The 6mm gear-driven adapter is what earns this tool its Mini BEAST nickname.

It mechanically drives both pad rotation and orbital motion, helping maintain the polishing action when working on curves, narrow sections, and other areas where a free-spinning pad can stall.

People be asking for gear driven orbital miniature for at least 15 years!

And out of all the tool companies in the world it’s FLEX that steps up to the plate and takes a swing and then hit a home run!

Congratulations FLEX for an amazing multifunctional tool that performs as advertised!

The coolest tool introduced to SEMA in 2026 goes to FLEX and their FX3361 aka The Mini BEAST!

I met Kristhian Salazar when he came to a class I taught at Meguiar's in Irvine California back in 2006 - not only did he take my Meguiar‘s class, he also traveled from Bogota Columbia to take my Autogeek Detailing class in Florida.

Kristhian is all about continuing education and he leaves this competition in the dust!

We’ve been friends ever since and Kristhian is a text book example of a professional Detailer that knows what he’s doing and anyone that takes their car to Kristhian Salazar can be assured they’ll get nothing but professional results.

Thank you, Christyan for always being a great friend!

One of the hardest working guys in our industry - I love working with Jamie Buchanan!

Seema has started and it’s full on demo time!

👀 What’s in the box? That’s still a secret—but this old Chevy helped me put it to the test!

I torture-tested the new FLEX “Mystery Thingy” while bringing the shine back to this 1958 Chevrolet Apache 3100 ½-Ton Pickup. The results? Nothing short of amazing!

Check out the before-and-after pictures of the hood—the transformation is dramatic! This old Chevy gave me plenty of opportunities to put the new mystery tool to the test!

🤐 I can’t share its name or show you what’s inside the box just yet. That reveal happens at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas:

📅 Tuesday, November 3rd, 2026
⏰ 10:30 a.m. Pacific / 1:30 p.m. Eastern
📍 FLEX Booth #51125 — West Hall

🎥 At that same time, my in-depth video review AND super in-depth review article will go public! I’ll showcase the new tool’s abilities, share my testing experience, and give you a close-up look at what makes this mystery thingy so exciting!

Going to SEMA? Come see me! I’ll be demonstrating the new mystery tool on Tuesday, November 3rd, Wednesday, November 4th, and Thursday, November 5th.

After the reveal, stop by, ask questions, and take it for a test drive on one of our demo hoods. Get it in your hands and find out what it can do!

🔥 My prediction? This is going to create some serious BUZZ in the car detailing world!
