Each DEWALT Perform & Protect™ product integrates best-in-class safety features. Whether industry-leading dust management and vibration reduction technology or cutting-edge anti-rotation and torque control systems, we’re dedicated to bringing you the most advanced professional solutions that meet our stringent criteria—ensuring you can work more efficiently, for longer, with ultimate confidence and peace of mind.

ADVANCED DUST MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS

The risks of dust inhalation and longterm health conditions are considerably reduced. Our extensive line-up includes 200+ solutions and accessories, including M Class extractors with automatic filter cleaning, shrouds, hollow drill bits, plus universal extractors compatible with all brands of tools, allowing your teams to work seamlessly across the jobsite.

UP TO 50% LESS VIBRATION

The Perform & Protect™ vibration certification logo indicates that vibration levels have considerably reduced, therefore increasing time and comfort of use, without compromising performance. Our SDS Plus and SDS Max hammers incorporate advanced technologies such as Active Vibration Control, which lower vibration by up to 50% compared to standard models – enabling users to work for longer, with greatly enhanced safety.

COMPLETE TORQUE CONTROL+-

With our Perform & Protect™ control features, you can be confident that advanced torque control technology has been integrated as standard into your tools—keeping you fully in charge at all times. Our anti-rotation E-Clutch® system detects rotational motion, minimising sudden torque reaction, while the electronic Kickback Brake built into our grinders shuts off the tool when a pinch, stall or bind-up occurs.

DCV586 – DEWALT® 54V XR® FLEXVOLT BRUSHLESS M-CLASS EXTRACTOR

This versatile, high-performance unit is suitable for an extensive range of professional applications including diamond drilling, concrete grinding, mortar raking, drywall sanding and hardwood sawing, among many others. Offering outstanding durability yet with a compact, lightweight form factor, the DCV586 has been meticulously designed by DEWALT engineers to generate unrivalled power and runtime. Thanks to its 54V XR® FLEXVOLT battery technology combined with a highly efficient Brushless motor, the heavy duty DCV586M provides users with the ultimate cordless dust extraction solution for the jobsite environment. Engineered to deliver constant suction, and therefore minimising downtime, the DCV586 incorporates a generous 11 litre tank, combined with an innovative dual filter system featuring an automatic cleaning mechanism. This reduces filter clogging and maintains consistent power and performance, even when working with the finest concrete or wood dust. Ideal for use on large-scale construction sites, this outstanding extractor offers remote activation and switch-off using a wireless key fob, which can be attached to the hose or to the user’s wrist, for example. Full compatibility with the DEWALT Airlock system adds further flexibility, a secure and reliable connection, and highly effective debris extraction.

One thing that distinguishes CSS member stores around the country— from the Northern Territory, to Western Australia to New South Wales—is that they understand the power of community, in goodtimes and bad.

Local businesses are the lifeblood of small and regional towns and cities. Along with providing important goods and services, they often engage in activities that help to build and support the communities around them, through donations to charity and involvement in local sporting and not-for-profit organisations. NT Fasteners has been operating in Darwin for 20 years, supplying a wide range of construction, engineering and mining products such as power tools, hand tools, ladders, wheelbarrows, safety equipment and clothing, pre-cast materials, nuts and bolts and, of course, a wide range of fasteners. The company supports a number of local charities, schools and sporting clubs in the local community. “We love to help out where we can—we donate goods for raffles at schools and contribute materials to help not-for-profit organisations rebuild for those who have been struck by unexpected losses,” says NT Fasteners manager Mick Cunningham. No1 Roofing has been supporting the metal roofing industry in the greater Sydney area since 1990. It’s a family owned business, started by father and son team Tony and David Scali, which now boasts seven stores. The flagship store in Narrabeen is where the business began, and David is proud of the contributions this family owned and operated business has made to a wide range of organisations. No1 Roofing recently made a $32,000 donation to the children’s cancer charity, Canteen, at the CSS conference in May 2018, which, combined with CSS’s commitment, took the total to $68,650.

Sutton Tools has recently launched FOUR new series of industry-strength clamps.

ONE-HAND ALUMI CLAMPS

This range of four sizes is designed for heavy industrial and professional applications—when you need to hold weighty materials in place. The aluminium alloy body is designed to withstand immense pressure, with a clamping force of up to 350kgs. These clamps feature buffer jaw heads with automatic bounce-back action when released. The bar is made of strengthened carbon steel.

ONE-HAND DUAL CLAMPS

In another four-size range, the nylon composite clamp body is strengthened with a carbon steel bar. The Deep V grooved or flat TRP grip pads are changeable, allowing you to clamp different shaped objects firmly without damaging their surface. The dual clamps have a jaw depth of 85mm and provide a maximum clamping force of 200kg.

PARALLEL CLAMPS

Coming in three sizes, our parallel Lockjaw clamp is easily converted into a spreader. Its carbon steel bar allows the clamp to slide quietly while making it a lighter weight and the aluminium alloy clamp body is finished with powder coating. With large flat TPR pads and a jaw depth of 100mm, the parallel clamp has a maximum force of up to 400kgs!

RATCHET CLAMPS

Finally, we’ve redesigned our standard Lockjaw ratchet clamps and the large 102mm, medium 63mm and mini 38mm hand clamps are now manufactured in robust nylon composite. The ratchet mechanism has an easy release trigger. Each size has V-grooved clamping pads and TPR grip handles for firm handling.

Australia has recently introduced a new Standard for Postinstalled Concrete Anchoring. Published by Standards Australia in late 2018 titled AS 5216:2018 “Design of post-installed and cast-in fastenings in concrete”. The new Standard was developed by an expert committee (AEFAC) representing relevant organisations in the fastening industry. This New Standard requires cast-in and all post-installed fasteners to be considered either as safety critical or non-critical. * Safety-critical applications are defined as fastenings where failure may result in collapse or partial collapse of the structure, endanger human life and/or cause considerable economic loss. Non-critical applications would be fasteners into concrete where failure is not likely to endanger human life or result in a substantial economic cost. The determination of a Safety- Critical Application should be made by the design engineer or the person responsible for the installation if they have the necessary design skills. All safety-critical fasteners must be designed for the appropriate design loads as set out in the National Construction Code (NCC) 2019. Many post-installed fasteners that have typically been used in the past will no longer be suitable for safety-critical applications in cracked concrete. Retailers, you also have an obligation to ask the question of your customers, “are these fasteners being used for a safety-critical application?” as well as educate your customers on their statutory requirements and the need for correct design.

For any enquiries on the above information please contact ICCONS your code compliant specialists!

Let’s talk abrasives in the workplace

Worker safety is a hot topic in industry today. Companies have had to adjust their procedures and lift their standards to comply with the latest regulations. However, when it comes to abrasives these standards are often forgotten or ignored. By purchasing cheap abrasives with unknown origin and no defined safety standards, you put your workers at risk of injury, or even death. You are also likely to be actually increasing the cost of your abrasive process.
