The HydroVerge Hydrant Buddy powered by DeWalt is a compact, cordless, high-torque valve turning tool built for utility professionals who need dependable performance in demanding field conditions. Designed to operate hydrants, gate valves, PIVs, and other critical valve infrastructure, the Hydrant Buddy helps crews work faster, reduce strain, and improve safety—without hoses, hydraulic power units, or external air sources.
This DeWalt-powered configuration delivers the same proven Hydrant Buddy platform with a rugged cordless drive system, making it a strong fit for utilities and contractors standardizing around DeWalt battery tools.
Manual valve turning is time-consuming and physically demanding—especially on stubborn or infrequently exercised valves. The DeWalt-powered Hydrant Buddy replaces hand-over-hand turning with controlled cordless power, helping crews increase productivity while maintaining better posture and control.
With up to 400 lb-ft of torque, variable-speed operation, and an integrated rotation counter, this system supports consistent operation and clearer documentation for maintenance programs and emergency response.
Built around a rugged DeWalt drive system with variable-speed control for smooth operation and consistent valve turning performance under load.
Delivers up to 400 foot-pounds of torque, helping crews operate high-friction valves, stuck hydrants, and critical infrastructure with less effort and reduced risk of injury.
Weighs just 23 lbs. (including battery) and includes a reaction handle and balanced design to reduce fatigue and strain during extended use.
Built-in turn counter tracks valve rotations in real time, improving accuracy and supporting documentation for valve exercising, hydrant programs, and maintenance records.
No hoses, compressors, or hydraulic power sources required—ideal for mobile crews, remote sites, and rapid response work.
Includes two rechargeable DeWalt batteries. Each battery can power up to 20 hydrants or 10 gate valves per charge, with fast recharge in approximately 65 minutes to keep crews moving.
