DeWalt launches new hammer range

01 April 2006

Leading high-performance industrial power tools and accessories manufacturer DeWalt has expanded its comprehensive hammer and breaker range with the addition of three new 7 kg hammers.

These new units are highly innovative and boast the lowest vibration levels on the market, says the company.
The new hammers cover all users’ needs: D25700K is a standard features unit with the greatest performance in its class, D25701K has comprehensive features for those who want more in terms of comfort and low vibration and D25840K, a dedicated demolition hammer, says Suresh Srinivasan, a Dubai-based product manager of DeWalt Industrial Tools.
“All three machines have a revolutionary system to reduce vibration – a floating handle, which provides suspension between the handle and the main unit. This means no matter where the unit is held along the handle, the reduction in vibration is constant, allowing users to handle the tools safely over a significantly longer period of time without compromising performance, he explains.
The D25701K offers advanced vibration reduction via its AVC (Active Vibration Control) and safety clutch via CTC (Complete Torque Control).
“The AVC counterbalances the impact energy produced by the mechanism, reducing the vibration by up to 30 per cent, while the CTC gives the user two separate levels of safety clutch. As well as a high torque level, a patented lower torque level allows users to safely drill solid bits without running the risk of injury from the twisting impact,” says Srinivasan.
Equipped with a 1,300-watt motor, the D25701K offers exceptional power and durability. Boasting specifications such as 14 joules of impact energy and a BPM of 2520, the D25701K delivers 525 joules of energy per second, by far the highest in its class, he claims.
“The durability of this machine is prolonged by two important measures. Firstly the D25701K has a unique non-pumping beat piece – this stops the mechanism sucking debris into the vital components. Additionally, the unit benefits from four seals along the mechanism to ensure dust does not penetrate and cause failure in the machine,” Srinivasan concludes.
