Until now the use of carbon fibre has been synonymous with the likes of competitive cycling, F1 racing, aerospace and military applications. Traditionally power tools are constructed of either ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) or GFN (glass fused nylon), with the use of GFN typically only found in high end products such as professional tools. Carbon fibre constructed power tools take construction development to the next level again.
Key benefits to Carbon Fibre
- Benefits to the Casing
- High resistance to shattering or cracking
- Significantly reduces twisting of the outer housing to hold internal components tighter, thus providing better operational performance and extended life of the power tool
- Averages of up to 100% increase in overall resistance to fractures (compared with non carbon fibre ABS material)
- Significant weight reduction
- Benefits to the Internal Mechanics
- Increase in brush life (due to less motor drag)
- Decrease in motor noise as meshing of gears is quieter than aluminium or steel
- Higher efficiency of output performance (due to combination of the above)
