DUST CONTAINMENT

CONTROL

Tools can bind up in normal drilling or cutting applications which can cause injury to the user, or damage the tool.

DEWALT PERFORM & PROTECT drills and grinders come equipped with integrated control features. The Anti-Rotation E-CLUTCH® System and Kickback Brake feature help protect the user in bind up situations.
