What are the advantages of using transformers and 12 volt tools compared to larger 110 volt rotary tools?
The system of 12 volt designed tools has a number of advantages: The tools can be designed slimmer and lighter – easier to use. Most of Minicraft?s tools includes the innovative pistol, palm and pencil grip which means that you can also work with the rotary tool like a fountain pen – applications at your fingertips – giving you full control! This balance and ease of use is harder to achieve with larger tools. Since the tools operate on 12 volt they are safer to use and any electrical shock would be very small and harmless. The transformer rectifies the voltage and acts like an added safety barrier between you and the tool and the 110 volt outlet. The transformer also includes an automatic safety cut-off devise that cuts the current if the tool is over loaded, until the temperature is back at designated levels. This protects the tool and the transformer against any damage and extends the life of the tools.
