Protek II Provides Drilling Protection

The rugged Protek ll Interrupter stops power to a rotary hammer drill instantly upon bit contact with grounded metal piping, conduit or reinforcement steel during concrete drilling operations. The Protek II is used extensively by termite control specialists to avoid drilling into metal conduit and piping, the firm says.

The Protek II Drill Interrupter helps prevent damage to grounded metal pipes, conduit and reinforcement steel. It also reduces bit breakage, Lorien Instruments says. A grounded, three-wire drill is recommended. The manufacturer says the Interrupter includes the following high-capacity, heavy-duty components:

• Sturdy, cast-aluminum housing
• Built-in ground fault interrupter
• Rated at 13 amps, 110-120v
• One year parts and labor warranty
