Milwaukee-Powered Hydrant Buddy by HydroVerge

Part Number: HB1

The Hydrant Buddy powered by Milwaukee, engineered by HydroVerge, is a purpose-built cordless valve-turning solution designed to make hydrant and valve operation safer, faster, and significantly less physically demanding. Built specifically for water utility professionals, this compact, high-torque tool delivers the power required to operate hydrants, gate valves, PIVs, and sluice gates—without hoses, gas engines, or external power sources.

By combining Milwaukee’s proven M18 cordless platform with HydroVerge’s utility-focused engineering, the Hydrant Buddy helps crews reduce strain injuries, improve operational consistency, and increase productivity in the field.

Cordless Valve Turning for Safer, Faster Hydrant Operation

Manual valve turning is one of the most physically demanding and injury-prone tasks performed by water utility crews. The Hydrant Buddy replaces hand-over-hand operation with controlled, high-torque cordless power—allowing operators to turn valves efficiently while maintaining proper posture and control.

Delivering up to 400 lb-ft of torque, the Hydrant Buddy is engineered to handle stubborn, high-friction valves while minimizing kickback and operator fatigue. Its lightweight, balanced design makes it ideal for daily use across hydrant flushing programs, system maintenance, and emergency response operations.
