Product Manufacturer Product Description and Principal Function(s) The Demain series Cordless Drill really is a world first.The main body is designed to eliminate any visible screw holes or join lines, providing a smooth & modern look. The most revolutionary feature is the Internal Power Chuck clamping up to 100% tighter than conventional chucks and spinning inside the housing. This eliminates the two biggest user complaints about a cordless drill – the chuck 1. loosens too easily and 2. damages surrounding finished surfaces due to its high speed exposed rotation. It’s the worlds first drill with electronic gear shift selection and torque control for chuck clamping and drilling operation. Key Product Features and Benefits The Demain Series Cordless Drill deserves to win an Australian Design Award because of its revolutionary innovative features, its global application and unique construction and styling. It really is a leap in power tool technology and a world market first.The drill’s construction is not conventional when compared to the dated design of most drills. Its one piece main housing eliminates unsightly screw holes and part lines. It also provides a more rigid construction which benefits the drills impact resistance and ability to hold the motor tightly without the risk of the housing being split apart, as per a conventional clamshell design. The main housing also interconnects with an aluminium alloy gearbox chassis and rear bezel and handle assembl. The chuck is covered by a separate housing and clear removable nose cap. The construction method provides multiple options to change the shape of individual parts and use different textures, colours and materials.. The patented "Demain Internal Power Chuck" with carbide insert jaws, clamps up to 100% tighter than conventional chucks, and without the need for keys or hands to assist. This is particularly beneficial to users with weak or small hands and takes the effort out of bit clamping. It also ensures particularly during hammer drilling, that the jaws do not loosen as they often do in a conventional chuck. The chuck spins internally eliminating damage to the work piece and surrounding materials and enables the user greater control by being able to grip the drill at the very front of the housing. This is particularly beneficial when holding a screw by hand whilst trying to drive it. The electronics provides an automatic cut out once the jaws are fully clamped. The micro motor shifts the gearbox to the low setting so work may commence faster. When releasing the bit the electronics immediately cuts the power to stop the jaws unwinding too far and thus making it inconvenient to fit the next bit in the jaws. Should the user require a wider jaw opening they simply squeeze the control trigger again. The user controls the opening and closing of the jaws by first selecting chuck adjust mode and then switching from forward (close) to reverse (open). The Electronic Semi Automatic Shift provides the user with motorized change between chuck adjust, low and high gear modes. The clever electronics provides 50 torque settings which are separately programmed for low and high gear positions. (A conventional drill uses a mechanical system). The torque settings are selectable via a unique jog dial control. overload warning and cut out when the user is leaning too heavily on the tool is also a feature. This prolongs the life of the product. The electronic shift and torque control are a separate patent pending. The anti theft system provides the user with programmable disable feature via a Personal Identification Code System. The auxiliary handle includes a magnet strip for holding fasteners or bits and a built-in, removable bit holder. |
