| Specification | Shoei RF-1400 Full Face Motorcycle Helmet | DEWALT 20V MAX Cordless Car Vacuum Cleaner Bare Tool |
|---|---|---|
| Price | ₹52,900 | ₹9,999 |
| Weight | 1.55 kg | 1.8 kg without battery |
| Warranty | 1 Year Official Brand Warranty | 1 Year Official Brand Warranty |
| Bare tool | not published | The DCV517B suffix means tool only. A 20V MAX battery and charger together cost a significant fraction of the tool price again |
| Certification | DOT FMVSS 218 and SNELL M2020, the US standards. Also ECE 22.06 on European variants | not published |
| Filter | not published | Washable, and it must be genuinely dry before reuse |
| Indian requirement | Helmets sold in India must carry the ISI mark to IS 4151. DOT, SNELL and ECE do not satisfy Indian law, and ISI marking is checked at enforcement | not published |
| Replacement | Every 5 years from manufacture, or immediately after any impact, regardless of visible damage | not published |
| Runtime | not published | About 18 minutes on a 5.0 Ah battery |
| Shell | Multi-ply matrix fibreglass, six shell sizes | not published |
| Suction | not published | Strong for a handheld, but a 0.5 litre tank empties fast |
| This is not a quality judgement | SNELL M2020 is a demanding standard. The point is legal compliance in India, which is a separate question from protective performance | not published |
| Voltage | not published | Battery tool, so mains voltage is only a question for the charger, which is dual voltage |
| Wet and dry | not published | Yes, up to about 0.5 litres of liquid |
| Why six shell sizes | Most manufacturers use two or three shells across all sizes, so smaller sizes carry an oversized shell. Six means the shell actually matches the head | not published |
| Why sold this way | not published | It assumes you already own DeWalt 20V MAX batteries from other tools. If you do not, budget accordingly |
