Flux Electric WDT Tool

Flux spins its needles at 600 or 800 RPM while the button is held, then drops to 350 RPM for about four seconds on its own as soon as the button is released. That second stage does the levelling, so the surface is smoothed without a separate pass.

An ordinary WDT tool is a handle with needles, and the stirring depends on the wrist. In the Subminimal Flux, a high-torque micro-geared motor turns the needles, and the spin speed is the thing to set. Tapping the top touch button five times and holding on the fifth tap switches the high speed between 600 and 800. Needle spacing is set to match: narrow spacing pairs best with the faster speed, while wide spacing suits the slower one and reduces spraying of grounds.

The needles can be kept straight for precise coverage or fanned out to cover more of the basket. They sit in slots once the magnetic cap is removed, so a bent one is swapped for the included spare set without tools. The battery is replaceable too, which is unusual for a small kitchen device.

Flux is not waterproof. Cleaning means a slightly damp cloth, never submerging it or running it under a tap. It stores flat on a tray or upright on a magnetic wall mount, so it can stay beside the grinder.
