Metabo HPT WR36DAQ4 Features

“Power” is the name of the game for the Metabo HPT High Torque Impact Wrench. First, the big benefit of the MultiVolt system is its adaptability to power options. Should you find yourself working near an AC power source, you can use the MultiVolt adapter to plug into an outlet. While many may not take advantage of this for smaller power tools, it remains a unique option for Metabo HPT tool users.

Of course, most will use the Metabo HPT MultiVolt 3/4″ impact wrench with its 36V battery pack. Because these packs use the bigger 21700 cells, as opposed to the standard 18650 cells, the Metabo HPT High Torque Impact Wrench can provide plenty of power to the application. So far, we’re not seeing the speed of pneumatic impact wrenches in battery-powered tools, but the power is there.

The Metabo HPT High Torque Impact Wrench features a brushless motor that cranks out up to 812 ft-lbs of fastening torque and 1328 ft-lbs of nut-busting torque. By the numbers, this puts it under the Milwaukee 3/4-inch impact wrench but above the DeWalt DCF897. The Metabo HPT impact wrench provides speeds up to 1,500 rpm with up to 2,900 bpm. It comes with a 4-stage speed selection and a variable speed trigger to give you full control over the application.

The Metabo HPT WR36DAQ4 gets an IP56 rating and a heat-resistant bumper for standing up against jobsite abuse. An LED light lets you see what you’re doing in dimly-lit areas. Finally, the tool looks well-balanced. It was only a few years ago that impact wrenches would feel a bit top-heavy. This tool seems to center itself above the ergonomic grip. We also like that it weighs just 8.8-lbs with the large MultiVolt battery installed.
