DEWALT Breaks Into New Market, Launches Pavement Breaker with High-Level of Durability, Performance and Low Vibration
-- New Breaker is First in Class to Offer Two Years of Free Service --
December 2006 - DeWALT®, a leading manufacturer of industrial power tools, today announced the launch of its first heavy-duty pavement breaker (D25980K). This new breaker is designed with innovative features and patented technology to provide end users with increased durability, performance, and low vibration. It is also the first breaker in its class to include a two-year free service warranty. Available in early 2007, the D25980K is ideal for plumbers, waterproofers, demolition crews, and public utilities workers to break up concrete and asphalt on the jobsite.
Durability
Through end user research, DeWALT confirmed that durability is the number one feature professional contractors consider when purchasing a concrete breaker. In order to meet the needs of the end user and to provide a high level of durability, DeWALT equipped the D25980K with metal, automotive-style seals on the ram and piston. These seals help to prevent dust and debris from entering the unit, ensuring a longer life. DeWALT has also engineered its barrel and tool-holder to be more robust than the leading competitor by putting more steel behind the bit.
Performance
To offer end users the highest-performing breaker, DeWALT designed the D25980K with a unique electronic control system, which provides the unit with a controlled start and constant speed under load. The soft-start system allows the breaker to begin breaking as soon as the tool comes into contact with concrete by preventing the unit from "walking." Additionally, the D25980K was engineered with the industry's largest hammer mechanism giving the unit 61 ft. lbs of impact energy, 42 percent higher* than its leading competitor.

Serviceability
Concrete breakers are hard-hitting tools that endure a high level of jobsite wear and tear. DeWALT designed its breaker with easy-to-access brushes and screws that users can effortlessly service on the jobsite, saving time and money. In addition to quick and easy serviceability, the D25980K is the only electric concrete breaker on the market with a two-year service warranty.
Comfort and Feel
Engineered to give the user the most comfortable breaking experience possible, DeWALT built the D25980K with a patent-pending SHOCKS - Active Vibration Control system. The SHOCKS - Active Vibration Control combines shock mounted rubber coated handles with a counter balance mechanism located in the barrel of the tool. These features dramatically reduce the amount of vibration felt by the user, increasing comfort and providing users with 65 percent** less vibration than the leading competitor. The D25980K has a vibration measurement of just 6.6 meters per second sq.
Hammer Truck
The D25980K includes a hammer truck (D259803) so that users can easily transport the breaker. This multi-purpose cart is the only one in the industry that allows the user to transport the breaker without having to remove the bit from the unit. Another innovative feature of the hammer truck is an on-board power cord wrap with quick release. Additionally, a ramp on the back of the unit allows end users to easily load the tool into a truck or van. For maximum versatility, the hammer truck doubles as a jobsite hand-truck ideal for moving building materials and products around a jobsite. The hammer truck comes standard with (2) - bull point chisels, (1) - 1" chisel, and (1) - 3" chisel.
