Gear reviews for delivery drivers
Twenty single-product reviews of the equipment that actually shows up in a Flex driver's vehicle. Each one names the weakness in its own section, because the reason to read a review is to find out what is wrong with the thing.
These reviews are drawn from published specifications, manufacturer figures and the consensus of verified owner reviews. We have not tested these products ourselves, and we say so rather than implying otherwise.
