Multiple disk brake has fast response
MDB Series multiple disk brakes are designed so the friction disks rotate with the rotor, instead of being stationary with the output hub. This design, along with a new spring release mechanism, allows the friction and pressure plates to release approximately two times faster than previous models. The brakes can handle torques up to 2300 ft lb.

Drill bits work with portable tools
Pilot Point bits solve the problems of walking, spinning, and breaking when drilling with portable equipment into metal or wood. The patented drill bits start holes on contact, preventing the bit from walking across the workpiece. The No-Spin shank overcomes the number one frustration with keyless chucks: spinning bits.
