Sindrilla is here to combat HAVS

Details: Hits: 777

Castle & Pryor have launched a product to eliminate Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS) - also known as ‘white finger’ caused by exposure to vibration. Anyone who uses hand-held power tools for a significant length of time is at risk. And until now, there has been no real hands free solution to nerve damage and HAVS when using conventional rotary percussive drills within the construction industry.

Rotary percussion (RP) drilling combines a rotating and percussive or ‘hammering’ action in the same drill. This method is widely used across the construction industry because it’s a cheap and effective way to anchor steel frames into the ground, to drill rough sided holes into concrete, or when you need to connect one concrete slab to another using reinforced steel dowels.
