More torque, less noise 14 February 2025

The new 20V MAX XR® ¾ inch, ½ inch high torque impact wrenches and 20V MAX XR® ¼ inch quiet hydraulic impact driver from DEWALT®, a Stanley Black & Decker brand, are enabling users to meet max torque for heavy-duty applications, whilst also exhibiting quiet operation in noise sensitive work environments.

Joining DEWALT®’s well known XR® portfolio of 20V MAX power tools, the new 20V MAX XR® ¾ inch high torque impact wrench provides up to 102% more torque for use in tough applications, whilst the 20V MAX XR® ½ inch high torque impact wrench provides up to 28% more torque, when paired with the XR POWERSTACK™ oil resistant 5Ah battery in heavy-duty fastening applications.

Both tools feature glass filled nylon housings to help protect against oils and solvents, as well as a PRECISION WRENCH™ mode, which helps prevent overtightening and fastener run off. In addition, there is also a four mode push button switch to easily change speeds and LED brightness.

“DEWALT®’s latest fastening solutions not only meet the standards of the XR® line-up, 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 meeting specialised needs including high torque, less noise and optimised ergonomics to drive productivity.”

Another addition 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 up to 57% quieter operation. Ideal for framing, cabinetry and other applications in tight areas, DEWALT® highlights its impact driver delivers up to 40% faster driving with consistent performance in demanding applications and cold temperatures.
