Tools in the Perform & Protect range are designed to consistently exceed health and safety regulations without compromising on performance. It is our stamp of certification that lets you know that the tools you use are up to the task — they let you get more done in less time without compromising health and safety.
Perform & Protect tools let you get more done in less time and push boundaries of performance without compromising health and safety.
Having tools that are compliant with stringent jobsite regulations gives you and your team the ability to take on a greater range of jobs.
Jobsite safety is paramount. Our Perform & Protect stamp lets your team know that you have tools that exceed safety standards and lets everyone on site know that you're fully compliant and safe.
Reduced risk of dust inhalation and cleaner workspaces.
Vibration levels reduced by up to 50%, lowering exposure to risk.
Advanced torque control technology keeps you in charge.

The Perform & Protect range reduces the health risks associated with dust inhalation such as silicosis or chronic obstructive lung disease (COLD). The Perform & Protect range features advanced dust management solutions including HEPA certified M Class extractors (0.1% dusts with maximum allowable concentrations (MAC) ≥ 0.1 mg/m³) with automatic filter cleaning, shrouds, hollow drill bits, as well as universal extractors compatible with all brands of tools.

Automatic pulsing filters prevent filter blinding and maintain efficiency.

A universal system connecting tools to dust extraction shrouds.

Wireless remote operation of tools with integrated Wireless Tool Control.

M-Class certified conforming to stringent jobsite guidelines.

Prolonged vibration exposure leads to common disorders like carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and white finger (VWF). Our Active Vibration Control features include counterbalance systems, floating handles and more to considerably lower levels of triaxial vibrations. This helps deliver up to 50% lower vibrations compared to standard model power tools as measured against EN 60745 1:2006. Correctly used, tools in the Perform & Protect range ensure user exposure is kept below the Exposure Action Value limit. Tools recording a 5m/s² vibration can be used up to 2 hours/day to reach the exposure action value (EAV) and up to 8 hours/day to reach the exposure limit value (ELV). Increased time and comfort of use means you and your team can perform heavy-duty tasks for longer with greater safety.

High speed, high-performance tools can jam when cutting or drilling risking injury to the user and tool. Our Perform & Protect range features integrated, advanced torque control technology as standard.
Anti-rotation E-Clutch systems detect rotational motion and minimise any sudden torque reaction, while electronic Kickback Brakes in our grinders automatically shut off power when a pinch, stall or bind up occurs. LED indicators and overload sensors also feature.
Automatically shuts the tool down in bind-up situations to prevent injury.
Wireless remote operation of tools with integrated Wireless Tool Control.
Automatic grinder shut off when a pinch, stall, or bind-up occurs.
Each extractor unit in the AIRLOCK range has specific attachments available to connect it to all manner of compatible DEWALT tools.
