Vibration

Up to 50% lower vibration.

Dust

Industry leading dust extraction solutions

Control

Unique and innovative torque control features.

When you see the Perform & Protect shield, you know that the product is dedicated to your safety without compromising on performance or DeWALT's "GUARANTEED TOUGH" durability.

Vibration

Up to 50% lower vibration.

Vibration exposure can cause a range of conditions collectively known as hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS). Other conditions include carpal tunnel syndrome and vibration white finger.

When the Perform & Protect shield is awarded for vibration, it is guaranteed that Tri-Axial Vibration levels have been reduced, increasing usage time without reducing performance.

Dust

Industry leading dust extraction solutions

Airborne dust inhalation can lead to a number of long-term health conditions such as silicosis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

When the Perform & Protect shield is awarded for DUST, it is guaranteed the potential of inhaling dust is reduced to give a cleaner and safer working environment.

Control

Unique and innovative torque control features.

When drilling or cutting there is a chance that the tool could jam. This could cause damage to the tool or cause personal injury.

When the Perform & Protect shield is awarded for control, it is guaranteed that additional innovative torque control safety features have been incorporated into the design of the tool.
