M80 Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 Found a patent for an X2 shear wrench. http://images1.freshpatents.com/imageviewer/20170043457-p20170043457 This is exciting for me. I am an ironworker a use a shear wrench often. Makita has a corded version which we have, https://www.makitatools.com/products/details/6922NB The corded version runs about $1800.00 - $1900.00, I wonder what the price point will be on the cordless.

stductwork Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 Really surprised when I saw this. I'd imagine it'll cost a small fortune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggie Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 Interesting, I've never seen one of these before. What does it turn the nut and bolt at the same time until it reaches a desired torque and then shears off the end of the bolt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tools & Stuff Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 That will be plenty of work for the batteries! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very much like rod/stud cutters. I have a Hitachi and the batteries last for weeks between charges and constant daily use. The motors are normally high speed, low torque and the tool is geared to maximise torque so batteries don't have a massive drain. I'd imagine the need for 36v is purely for economy of use. Higher voltage/lower drain on cells. I could be wrong though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
