Rotary Hammer Accessories From Metabo



OFFER INCREASED FUNCTIONALITY, PRODUCTIVITY AND SAFETY

WEST CHESTER, Pa., June 2006 -- Metabo Corporation, a leading international manufacturer of professional grade portable electric power tools and abrasives for industrial, construction and welding applications, now offers multiple accessories for its extensive line of rotary hammers, which are ideal for use in concrete, masonry or natural stone. The technological advancements in Metabo's line of rotary hammers and accessories help to enhance user productivity and safety, and increase overall tool functionality.

Metabo's enhanced line of accessories includes round shank, SDS-plus, SDS-max and spline masonry carbide bits for hammer drills and rotary hammers in both the 4-cutter and 2-cutter designs. The 4-cutter design with a self-centering tip both improves penetration and makes cleaner holes, while cutting through the concrete more quickly.

Additionally, the 4-flute construction of Metabo's carbide bits improves the effect of the hammer action by reducing vibration and improving dust extraction from the hole. The carbide bits are available in a wide variety of sizes including special sizes and lengths.

Because of the increasing health risks associated with working with concrete and stone, Metabo also offers dust extraction accessories for its hammer drills and SDS plus hammers. These devices allow the tools to be hooked to a vacuum that will collect the dust right at the point of origin, minimizing the user's exposure to free silica. The dust extraction devices also use Metabo's support handle accessory to fit on the collar of the tool.

Other accessories offered by Metabo include its CODE! anti-theft system, which protects the tool from unauthorized use, various bit and chuck adapters, and quick-action drill chucks.
