CarCareTruth's Analysis
Last reviewed May 25, 2026
TL;DR Rated 775 ft-lbs fastening / 1,218 ft-lbs nut-busting on a ½" drive; small 43-review corpus is positive but no independent torque meter test was located. No UL or ETL certification confirmed.
What it is and how it performs
A cordless ½" brushless impact wrench on the Metabo HPT MultiVolt 36V platform — also runs on 110V AC with an optional adapter, uncommon in the category. 4-stage speed plus variable trigger; friction-ring retention; IP56 rating is a manufacturer claim. No independent torque meter test was located; community evidence draws from fastener-removal outcomes only — lug nuts, heavy truck bolts, suspension work — without measured figures. Bare tool weighs 6.9 lbs, above the 4–5 lbs category median.
Who should buy this — and who should skip it
Buyers already on MultiVolt doing tire rotations, suspension work, or shop work where AC-power flexibility matters will find this capable for typical fasteners. Skip it without MultiVolt batteries — none included, and the platform is smaller than M18, 20V MAX, or LXT. Skip it for long overhead sessions where lighter wrenches fatigue less.
Safety and environmental impact
UL/ETL not confirmed; no CPSC recall. Li-ion chemistry; recycle MultiVolt packs via Call2Recycle. Hearing protection appropriate for extended use.
Frequently asked questions
Does the Metabo HPT WR36DBQ4 come with a battery?▾
No. The WR36DBQ4 is the bare-tool variant — it includes the wrench body and a belt hook only. No battery, no charger, no case. MultiVolt 4.0Ah and 8.0Ah slide-style packs are sold separately.
Is the Metabo HPT WR36DBQ4 UL-listed?▾
No UL listing or ETL certification was confirmed in UL Product iQ or the Intertek database at editorial time. The Amazon listing makes no UL claim and no CE mark is stated. The health score reflects this as a −0.5 certification deduction from the 9.0 electronics base.
What is the real-world torque of the Metabo HPT WR36DBQ4?▾
No independent calibrated torque meter test was located for the WR36DBQ4 specifically. Community evidence draws from a 43-review verified-purchase corpus citing lug nuts, heavy truck bolts, and suspension work — qualitatively positive but without measured ft-lbs figures.
Can this wrench run on AC power?▾
Yes — Metabo HPT's MultiVolt platform supports an optional AC adapter that lets the tool run on 110V wall power. This is an uncommon cross-platform feature among cordless impact wrenches and can be useful for shop work where a battery isn't available.

Very strong impact. Works very well. Only con is that it is heavy.
