Making daily work safer – the innovative KickbackStop from Festool. A sensor detects a tool jam in the blink of an eye and stops the motor within a fraction of a second. This reduces the risk of injury to an absolute minimum. The TSC 55 K cordless plunge-cut saw and the two QUADRIVE drills are now available with the unique KickbackStop. Go to the tools For improved safety when sawing, drilling and screwdriving – Festool tools with KickbackStop. Our masterpiece. Now with the unique KickbackStop. During sawing with the TSC 55 K plunge-cut saw, the KickbackStop's detection wedge rests on the guide rail or on the material that is to be processed. If a kickback occurs when plunging into the workpiece or when sawing, this wedge immediately detects this and triggers emergency braking almost simultaneously. This stops the plunge-cut saw from moving backwards unpredictably and therefore minimises the risk of injury. View product (TSC 55 K) Powerful with extra safety. The electronic KickbackStop prevents your wrist from twisting dangerously if the drill suddenly becomes caught or jammed, therefore ensuring improved safety when working. A sensor in the electronics continuously monitors the speed in the rotary movement and the twist angle. If the tool becomes jammed, the machine will immediately detect the critical state and switch off without delay.
