DeWalt lowers vibration on 10 and 12
kilo hammers
DeWalt leads market in low vibration machines with the introduction of the D25901K and the D25941K, an update of their 10 and 12 kilogram demolition hammers respectively.
In the current climate, where hand arm vibration regulations are critical to jobsite safety, DeWalt have taken the initiative to develop hammers with the lowest tri-axle vibration figures in their class By using a complex system of counterbalances and floating handles, DeWalt has reduced the vibration levels by almost 40% on their 10 kilo hammer, from 13 m/s2 to 7.9 m/s2, and by more than 25% on their 12 kilo hammer, from 11.8 m/s2 to 8.8 m/s2
