We know Festool power tools for their quality and performance, but they also feature smart and innovative designs to help protect the user. Click on any image to learn more about the products mentioned.
Dust extraction at the source
Dust from wood and other construction materials can be harmful to our lungs - some can even cause cancer. Removing dust as it is created is the best way to keep dust out of your lungs. It also reduces a slip hazard and the amount of cleanup time later.
We appreciate that Festool power tools are designed for optimal dust extraction, and their CT Dust Extractors automatically turn on with the tool so suction is always on when it's needed. Also, most of their dust extractors have a full-unit HEPA certification (not just the filter!) so the most harmful fine dust can't escape and recirculate in the air we're breathing.
Kickback stop
We usually think of table saws when we hear the word kickback, but it can also occur with handheld circular saws and drills. If a blade or bit suddenly jams, the force of the motor intended to drive the cutter is transferred to the tool and user. This can result in damage to the workpiece or tool, or minor or severe injury to the user.
Festool's latest track saws and drills feature their innovative kickback stop technology that stops the motor almost immediately if the tool abruptly kicks or lifts.
Material handling
Sheet goods are large and heavy, and some are delicate, too. This makes them challenging to handle alone without injuring yourself or damaging the material.
Festool's innovative mobile sawing table allows one person to load, transport and break down sheet goods safely.
