Powered Up!
These new impact tools are sure to get the job done with amazing tightening power produced by their fan-cooled, rare-earth magnet motors. The WH9DM impact driver and the WR12DM impact wrench are both top in their class in tightening torque, featuring 800 in-lbs. and 1330 in-lbs. respectively. Both impact drivers also have the fastest tightening speeds in their competitive classes, averaging 30% faster than the competition. The WH9DM can tighten a 4.5 mm x 90mm (W x L) screw in hemlock spruce in 3.8 seconds. The WHl2DM can tighten a 5.3mm x 120mm (W x L) screw in hemlock spruce in 6.5 seconds.
Furthermore, even with all of this power, the DM series tools run at incredibly quiet levels.
Top of the Class
Working in tight spaces is no problem with Hitachi's new impact wrenches. All DM series models measure in with the smallest sizes in their competitive classes, with heights of only 6-37/64". All of the models weigh in between 3 and 3-1/2 lbs., making them extremely comfortable to use.
Patented Grip and Cap
The sleekly curved and cyber-modern design of these tools features a back end that is completely covered by soft elastomer. A grip for incredible slip resistance and comfort smoothly flows into a cap for extreme protection and durability. A Hitachi patent pending, double-molding process is used to fuse the elastomer with the nylon body of the tool, meaning it is impossible for the elastomer grip and cap to be destroyed or removed.
Hooked on You
A patented one-touch belt hook is sure to make the Hitachi DM impact tools a favorite with the serious user:
* The hook can be quickly slid out or in when needed.
* It is easily mountable on either side of the tool for right and left handed users with the turn of a coin or screwdriver.
* The hook is easily adjustable to one of five different angles (0, 20, 40, 60, 80 degrees) to accommodate the angle at which the tool hangs when different weights of bits are attached.
* The design of the hook incorporates an ingenious bit holder to conveniently hold an extra bit.
In for the Long Haul
These new DM impact drivers and wrenches can be counted on to be around for a long time due to their high durability, dust resistance, and long service lives.
* The DM models are protected from burnout because of a more heat-resistant motor than the competition with:
- 1.4 times thicker winding
- a larger fan
- computer-analyzed air-ducts for superior cooling
* These models are thoroughly protected against dust with:
- dust-resistant contact seal bearings
- a unique labyrinth construction
- a minimal air inlet
