Until now Hitachi’s best cordless high torque impact wrench put out less than 1,000 foot pounds of torque, but that’s changing soon with the new MultiVolt high torque impact wrenches WR36DA and WR36DB. With a whopping 1327 foot pounds of nut busting torque for the WR36DA, and 1216 for the WR36DB, they are both pretty close to the other market leading high torque impact wrenches. With the excellent performance of Hitachi’s more recent releases, these 2 units shouldn’t disappoint. Both units are also IP 56 rated against dust and water, something has also been seen on some of the more recent Hitachi cordless tools.
My thoughts: Hitachi has been lacking in the high torque cordless impact wrench for a couple years now, and while many other brands brought their best to the game Hitachi appears to have taken their time and come out with something awesome. While these 2 units don’t have many stand out features, they do offer IP56 protection which isn’t something I’ve seen on any other high torque impact wrenches. That combined with some excellent specs should be a great fit for anyone who’s work may involve getting rained or snowed on. While these don’t have the highest specs on the market, Hitachi’s more recent releases have been no disappointment, so we can expect their performance to be right there with their competitors.
