New TOUGH TOOL IP Technology for Panasonic Power Tools

TOUGH TOOL IP - Intelligent Power Tool Evolution

Panasonic is renowned for developing intelligent Power Tools to fill all the needs required by today’s professional user. All tools are developed to be a compact size with amazing performance. Panasonic’s Tough Tool IP range have been developed to offer a new level of toughness in the form of resistance to dust and water as recognized under international standards administered by the International Electro technical Commission (IEC).

13 Panasonic cordless Power Tools have passed this IP standard test administered by the International Electro technical Commission (IEC). They reached the level IP56 according to IEC60529, this rating classifies the tools as “Dust-protected” and “Protected against powerful water jets”.
 

The Tests place the tools in the toughest conditions imaginable. The tool is placed in an environment in which it is subjected to heavy dust or water and then checked to ensure it still continues to function properly.

To achieve this level, the components of the tools were specially adapted. The switches are treated with a special compound and in the Rotary Hammer an additional rubber cap ensures the switch is sealed against water and dust. The electronic circuits of the drills control panel and the battery packs are covered by a Urethane layer for maximum protection. Inside each battery pack each individual battery cell is sealed to avoid any intrusion of moisture.

The EY7441LZ2S sets a benchmark in battery endurance. Driving up to 330 screws 6x60mm in soft wood, it achieves torque of 31.9Nm (soft joint) which means a diverse application range: fixing wood screws with diameter up to 6.8mm or drilling in wood up to 35mm diameter.

Leading battery technology - The basis for there revolutionary performance are there Battery Packs which feature many unique developments such as Panasonic Solid Solution technology (PSS), a method in hardening and dissolving key battery component substances such as cobalt and nickel. This dramatically improves the safety and reliability while also achieving greater performance compared to manganese lithium batteries used by many of other manufacturers. Cobalt lithium chemistry benefits from a lower internal resistance, electrical loss, and heat in battery cells. This helps prolong the service life by reducing overheating. Tough Tools IP battery packs individually monitor each battery cell to ensure optimal control. Battery damage is avoided by preventing overcharging, over discharging and overheating.
