- Improved tool and team performance.
- Tools exceed health and safety regulations.
Compliance
Having tools that are compliant with stringent jobsite regulations gives you and your team the ability to take on a greater range of jobs.
- Access jobs on large construction sites.
- Tools comply with jobsite regulations.
- Take on a wider range of larger jobs.
Safety
Jobsite safety is paramount. Our Perform & Protect stamp lets your team know that you've tools that exceed safety standards and lets everyone on site know that you're fully compliant and safe.

A Steady Hand
Prolonged vibration exposure leads to common disorders like carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and white finger (VWF). Our Active Vibration Control features include counterbalance systems, floating handles and more to considerably lower levels of triaxial vibrations. This helps deliver up to 50% lower vibrations compared to standard model power tools as measured against EN 60745 1:2006.
Correctly used, tools in the Perform & Protect range ensure user exposure is kept below the Exposure Action Value limit. Tools recording a 5m/s² vibration can be used up to 2 hours/day to reach the exposure action value (EAV) and up to 8 hours/day to reach the exposure limit value (ELV). Increased time and comfort of use means you and your team can perform heavy-duty tasks for longer with greater safety.
- Reduces vibration felt by the user at handles by 20%.
- Perform heavy duty tasks for longer.
- Increased user comfort levels.
- Enhanced team safety levels, reliability, and longevity.
Power is Nothing Without Control
High speed, high-performance tools can jam when cutting or drilling risking injury to the user and tool. Our Perform & Protect range features integrated, advanced torque control technology as standard.
Anti-rotation E-Clutch systems detect rotational motion and minimise any sudden torque reaction, while electronic Kickback Brakes in our grinders automatically shut off power when a pinch, stall or bind up occurs. LED indicators and overload sensors also feature.
- Wireless remote operation of tools with integrated Wireless Tool Control.
- Automatically shuts the tool down in bind-up situations to prevent injury.
- Automatic grinder shut off when a pinch, stall, or bind-up occurs.
