The U.S.SAWS VEX-400 is a portable, battery powered, high torque, valve turning machine designed to open, close or exercise valves safely and with less manual labor. The VEX-400 is used by municipal water departments, water and waste treatment facilities and other facilities where consistent valve turning is necessary. The VEX-400 has the ability to reduce fatigue and injuries. It’s torque multiplying gearbox is a key component in the ability to achieve such high torque with only a battery powered power source.

Questions & Answers
That depends, how old and corroded the valves are will play a big part in battery life, however, one battery should be able to run a full cycle on (30) 12 inch valves if they are in good shape. Older valves will decrease that amount.
Three batteries will generally be more than enough for a full day of work.
No, the gearbox is specifically matched to the Metabo drill motor.
A trigger hand guard, a stable foot base, overload protection, a shear key that will break before the gearbox does.
