DEWALT unveils highest rated max torque fastening solutions 28 October 2024

DEWALT, a Stanley Black & Decker brand, has announced several fastening solutions joining the XR® portfolio of DEWALT’s best performing 20V MAX* batteries and power tools.

The new 20V MAX* XR® 3/4 inch and 1/2 inch High Torque Impact Wrenches, 20V MAX* XR® 1/4 inch Quiet Hydraulic Impact Driver, and the existing 20V MAX* XR® 1/4 inch 3-Speed High Torque Impact Driver are DEWALT’s highest rated torque tools in their respective categories. This offering provides users with solutions to meet a range of user needs from max torque for heavy-duty applications to quiet operation in noise-sensitive work environments.

“DEWALT’s latest fastening solutions not only meet the standards of the XR® lineup, but are industry leading with advanced engineering and design features,” says Bill Harman, vice-president of product management at DEWALT. “In its 100th year, DEWALT continues its commitment to user focused innovation with these tools that meet specialised needs like high torque, less noise, and optimised ergonomics to drive productivity.”

For tough jobs demanding power, DEWALT introduces its highest-rated max torque impact wrenches – the new 20V MAX* XR® 3/4 inch High Torque Impact Wrench and 20V MAX* XR® 1/2 inch High Torque Impact Wrench with expanded capabilities.

To maximise jobsite productivity, DEWALT states the new ¾ inch wrench provides up to 102% more torque for use in tough applications. For heavy-duty fastening applications, the ½ inch offers users more performance with “up to 28% more torque when paired with the XR POWERSTACK™ oil-resistant 5Ah Battery”.

Both tools feature a glass-filled nylon housing to help protect against oils and solvents. Other features include PRECISION WRENCH™ mode, which helps prevent overtightening and fastener run-off, as well as a four mode push button switch to easily change speeds and LED brightness.

Also new to the brand is the 20V MAX* XR® ¼ inch Quiet Hydraulic Impact Driver – DEWALT’s quietest impact driver designed for noise-sensitive environments with, DEWALT highlights, up to 57% quieter operation. Ideal for framing, cabinetry and other applications in tight areas, the impact driver “delivers up to 40% faster driving with consistent performance in demanding applications and cold temperatures”. The tool also features nine built-in LEDs and a 20 minute work light mode to help illuminate dark workspaces.
