Quick Facts – FLEX Flexible Extension Shaft
- Brand: FLEX
- Model: FS 140
- Manufacturer code: 516.112

The FLEX FS 140 is a flexible extension shaft that gives the PXE 80 10.8-EC polisher access to tight spaces and detailed surfaces that a straight machine rarely reaches. The shaft is built from durable components and connects to the machine via a quick-change pad system, simplifying polishing work on limited sections of the bodywork.
The package includes twelve pads – conical and cylindrical in three hardness levels – along with an L-BOXX® 102 for structured storage and transport. This makes the extension shaft a complete solution for those who already own the PXE 80 10.8-EC. More accessories for polishers are available in our range.
The product is aimed at both professional detailers and home enthusiasts who want to polish details, trim edges and other hard-to-reach areas with the same precision as the rest of the bodywork.
What sets the FLEX FS 140 apart?
What sets the FLEX FS 140 apart is the quick-change pad mechanism combined with the flexible design, which allows the shaft to bend to the shape of the surface rather than forcing the machine into a fixed position. This reduces the risk of uneven pressure distribution when polishing curved or tight sections.
The included pads in three hardness levels – soft, medium and hard – cover everything from light maintenance polishing to more demanding compound work, making the shaft versatile for several types of jobs within the same session.
Where the FLEX FS 140 performs best
- Polishing of door handles, trim edges and other hard-to-reach bodywork details
- Detail work in engine bays and interior door panels
- Reconditioning workshops working with full paint jobs where precision is required
- Detailing studios complementing a straight polisher with a flexible accessory

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Does the FLEX FS 140 work with polishers other than the PXE 80 10.8-EC?
No, the FLEX FS 140 is designed exclusively for the PXE 80 10.8-EC Polisher and is not compatible with other models in the range. The connection between the shaft and the machine is specifically matched to this polisher's fitting, making the combination essential for correct function.
How should the pads for the FLEX FS 140 be maintained between uses?
The pads for the FLEX FS 140 are easiest to clean by removing polish residue immediately after use and allowing them to air-dry before storing them in the L-BOXX® 102. Regular cleaning extends the pads' lifespan and ensures consistent results at the next polishing session. See more pad cleaning products in our range.
What is the difference between the FLEX FS 140 and a standard straight extension shaft?
The difference compared to a standard straight extension shaft is that the FLEX FS 140 is flexible and can bend to match the shape of the surface, providing more even pressure when polishing curved sections. A straight shaft lacks this adaptability and therefore limits access to angled or tight surfaces.
