Research
& Development
Atom's policy is to produce world class innovative, affordable, and quality
products, that will serve their owners many years of productive and enjoyable
use; and to continually develop Atom products.
Atom invests heavily in Research and Development and maintaining its full
time in-house R & D department. Atom's technical team utilises the most
up to date computer design programs.

All Atom products are rigorously and punishingly tested, both in the factory
and in field conditions before they are put onto the market, thus ensuring long life
and withstanding tough conditions.
The tough reinforced polymer components used in Atom products are so strong,
they have been stress tested to withstand up to 680kg (1500lbs) of weight.
This ensures that Atom products will still be working in years to come when
other brands have already worn out.
Safety
As well as innovation, durability, and long life,
safety is a major factor when we design and develop our products.
All Atom products exceed Australian, US and European safety standards,
and include many other safety features which other brands do not have (see
individual models).
Atom's unique Automatic Reverse Gear Chainsaw Drilling Attachments are
the only drills in the world to have the Auger-Stop, which automatically
disconnects forward gear if the auger suddenly jams (similar to a chainsaw
chain brake), and still have its automatic reverse gear to immediately withdraw
the auger from the timber (forward drilling can then safely recommence).
All Atom's Lawn Edgers and Tiller/Cultivators also have many unique safety features.
Environmental
Considerations
All reinforced polymer used in our products
are recyclable. However, Atom products are quality engineered so they can
be used for many years. This means there is no wastage as when buying several other
branded products that only last a short period of time.
Because Atom lawn edgers are very manoeuvrable and have a unique 3.5:1
gear reduction, Atom is able to deliver more power and utilise the longest
lawn edger blades
(10 2/3" - 271mm) compared to other
brands.
Other brand edging devices are much slower to use, are less efficient,
and longer engine running time is needed to do the edging. This results in
these other brands using much more fuel and produce more exhaust emissions.
Because Atom lawn edgers are up to 90% faster to finish the job
the than other edging devices, the result is that Atom Lawn Edgers use as little as 80% less fuel than other lawn edger brands.
Patents
Atom have many patents and design registrations
granted and pending on their products.
