Most people know that toolmanufacturers produce morethan one line of a product forvarying consumer needs.What they may not realize ishow these tools differ in theirmanufacture, and what it isthat makes one drill, for ex­ample, cost $35 and another"similar" one cost $135. Weexplain some of the points ofdifference here.

Design. The professional powertool is designed to be more pow­erful, last longer, and perform bet­ter under continual use thanconsumer models. For occasionalprojects, you may prefer a less ex·pensive consumer tool.Electrical cords. On most con­sumer tools, the electrical cord is6' long or less. With the profes­sional models, 8' and 10' cordsare the norm. With this length ofcord, you don't have to use an ex·tension cord in most situations.

Cord materials vary, too. Withtools designed for professionalswho may have to work outside,it's important for the cord to re­main flexible during cold weath­er. To protect the tools, naturalrubber or high-cost elastomerjackets are used. Less costly cordsare sheathed with polyvinyl chlo·ride (PVC) material.

In addition, on the pro tool thecord protector leading into thetool is separate from the cord tofacilitate replacement. On theconsumer tool, the protectors aremolded onto the cord.Switches. Dust and frequent us­age arc the enemies of toolswitches. Since professional toolsare subjected to more of both,

58

switches need to be heavy dutyand protected from dust.Motors. Professional-quality toolshave motors designed to generatemore power and sustain overload­ing for longer periods than con­sumer tools. At the same time theymust be light enough for trades·people to use for a long time. Toguard against short·cireuiting athigh temperatures and speeds,manufacturers coat the windingsof quality motors with epoxy.

More expensive tools have cop­per windings rather than alumi­num ones because, while coppercosts more, it makes the motormore powerful.

Precise positioning of the car­bon brushes, which transfer elec·tricity from the electrical outlet tothe motor, also sets professionaltools apart from consumer tools.On the fonner, the brushes areheld by close-tolerance brassholders rather than by the high·impact plastic ones on the latter.

Another difference is the typeof bearings used. Generally, con­sumer tools have sleeve bearings.For pro tools, manufacturers uscbetter·quality ball bearings to agreater extent to reduce theamount of lateral movemcnt andvibration.Gears. Often, a heavy-duty toolhas wrought-steel gears, whichare heat-treated to harden themetal. With some consumer tools,powdered·metal gears are usedbecause they're less expensive.Housings. Unless you know plas­tics, it's difficult to tell thc differ­cncc between the materials usedon pro tools and their consumercounterparts. Supertough nylonoften sheathes the former, andconsumer tools have a less dura­ble plastic covering.

Metal housings differ, too. Theprofessional tool has mating sur·faces that have been machined tofit against the motor housing. Theconsumer model is die·cast withminimal machining.Assembly. The major compo­nents of pro tools interlock withone another. With consumertools, the components often areheld together clamshell-style withone set of screws.Safety. No matter which type ofequipment you buy there are cer·tain maintenance proceduresyou'll want to follow for safety aswell as extended tool life.

All electrical power cablesshould be in good repair, withoutfrays, breaks or loose plugs. Ifyour workshop outlets aren't thethree-prong type, always use agrounding plug adaptor.

If tools aren't self-lubricating,follow the instructions in themanual to lubricate them at regu­lar intervals.

And keep blades sharp. Dullblades can be dangerous as wellas ruinous to work. •
