Users can browse a growing range of tools and accessories, from drills and saws to angle grinders and impact drivers to find accurate details on each device. Users are able to check the magnitude values and check the lowest vibration tools around, based on raw collated data from HAVi in addition to user reviews.

The website features a notification system about a given tool’s data. Should data change, all users who have subscribed to that tool will be notified. Email updates are also part of The Tool Advisor service, and will keep registered users up to date with the latest technical details.

Andy Mee, technical director at HAVi, commented: “The Tool Advisor is the essence of what good business practice should be – informing the industry to create safe and healthy work environments. Managers, workers and even DIY professionals alike have equal footing in being part of a community, sharing valuable collated information about their tools.

“What we have done at HAVi is consistently strive to look for ways to improve the availability of information to people on the subject of tool safety. This database has new tools and updated vibration values added daily and will continue to grow over time.”

Signing up to The Tool Advisor is free and simple, and only needs to be done once in order to take advantage of the system. HAVi’s aim is for the website’s users to be able to find the right tools for the job, keeping site workers safe and operating within vibration regulations.
