PCL advised the release of its Prestige range of improved range of air tools that feature low vibration, low noise, ergonomic grip and higher performance.
PCL has released of its Prestige range of improved range of air tools that feature low vibration, low noise, ergonomic grip and higher performance.
The range comprises 11 products made from magnesium or copper composite for a high quality, lightweight finish.
PCL told manufacturingtalk that they are designed to help the user perform jobs more efficiently and in greater comfort.
For example, the APP270 1in Impact Wrench provides 2100Nm of torque yet weighs just 6.1kg.
A comparable product would normally weigh 10kg or more, said PCL.
The smaller version, the APP201 1/2in Impact Wrench, provides a torque of 433Nm with a weight of only 1.29kg.
Both tools have a twin hammer mechanism.
The Prestige range includes the following.
* APP101 3/8 Impact Wrench.
* APP234 3/4 Impact Wrench.
* APP310 3/8 Ratchet.
* APP708 Mini Cut-off Tool.
* APP600 Air Body Saw.
* APP700 Die-Grinder Set.
* APP500 Air Hammer Set.
* APP760 Palm Sander.
The standard PCL range has been extended from 17 tools to a comprehensive collection of 40, including all of the common air tools, from impact wrenches and ratchets, to sanders and grinding tools.
Whilst the enhanced range incorporates many new designs, PCL has retained all of the 'old faithfuls', which have become tried and tested favourites amongst customers.
The Prestige range was created in response to the demand for low noise and low vibration products, which are ergonomically designed to offer comfort to those using the tools frequently on a daily basis.
Product manager at PCL, Dale Robertson, said: "The new improved range has been put together based upon feedback from our customers and is designed to encompass every application possible.
Now, with the extended PCL range complemented by the high quality, yet competitively priced Prestige air tools, we can meet all needs, from the standard, robust and practical tool, to the top end, higher spec product".
He said: "Our aim is to give our customers choice, clarity and transparency by creating a comprehensive range of air tools which is not confusing, making it easy for the customer to select the right tool for their individual application.
In short, the combination of the PCL and Prestige product lines provides an airtight solution for all needs.".
