Our take
Power and bolt range
HiKOKI quotes a maximum tightening torque of 770 Nm and nut busting torque up to 1,050 Nm, with a working range of M10 to M24 bolts. That covers wheel nuts on cars and vans, suspension bolts and many structural fixings. A brushless motor is listed for high performance, less wear and a long service life.
The listing gives a length of 169 mm and a weight of 1.9 kg, which is compact for a wrench of this output.
Auto stop and speed modes
Four speed modes and four auto stop functions are listed. Auto stop halts the tool after a preset time so bolts are not overtightened, which is useful when running down many identical fixings. Combined with the speed modes, it lets one wrench handle both delicate and heavy tasks without swapping tools.
For fleet and plant workshops, auto stop also helps different fitters get similar results on the same job, because the tool rather than the operator decides when to stop hammering.
Built for the weather
IP56 is listed for superior protection against harsh weather and dust. That makes the WR36DE a sensible choice for outdoor plant, farm machinery and roadside work where rain and grit are routine. An integrated battery damping system is also listed, which HiKOKI says extends the life of the battery interface and the tool itself.
In the case
The listing describes the tool as supplied with accessories in a transport case, without battery or charger. It is designed around 36 V MultiVolt packs, so check your existing batteries before buying. An LED light and soft grip handle are also listed.
How it compares
The Bosch GDS 18V-1000 is close on breakaway torque but has no IP rating in its listing. The DeWalt DCF900P2T is stronger again and comes as a kit. The smaller HiKOKI WR36DH suits lighter vehicle work with Auto Slow.
Verdict
Pick the WR36DE if you work outdoors, already own HiKOKI MultiVolt batteries and want strong breakaway torque with auto stop control. For maximum torque in a full kit, the DeWalt DCF900P2T is the alternative, and for lighter car work the HiKOKI WR36DH is smaller and easier to handle.
