Discover the BLRTC080 pistol: The new addition to the ePULSE range

epulse _BLRTC nutrunner

In 2026, Desoutter expands its ePULSE Battery tools range with the BLRTC080 pistol, tackling tightening variability while maintaining optimal quality in hard and soft joint applications. This BLRTC080 nutrunner offers high torque, high speed, ergonomic, and is easy to set up!

The ePULSE range: A reference for industries

Over the years, the ePULSE range has established itself as a benchmark in the tightening market, with a clear ambition: Delivering the best productivity, accuracy and operator comfort. Our nutrunners support high-volume production environments with demanding takt times and there is no compromise on operator comfort, by allowing high torque tightening without a reaction arm, meaning no continuous reaction force. Combining the speed of impact tools with the precision of electronic control, ePULSE nutrunners deliver outstanding performance for a wide range of industrial applications.

A wide torque range

Three pistol and one angle‑head designs for versatile applications, covering a wide torque range and delivering the highest speeds on the electric technology market: up to 4 000 rpm (pistol) and 1300 rpm (angle head). 

Battery pulse pistol tools: 6 – 80 Nm

Battery pulse angle head tool: 40 – 110 Nm

This wide torque range helps simplify production lines by reducing the number of tools required to cover all station requirements.

The tools can be used: 

-In connected mode with our CONNECT smart hub for full traceability and access to the Desoutter ecosystem 

-In stand-alone mode

The BCLRT080 ePULSE: The latest electric nutrunner by Desoutter 

This latest ePULSE pistol combines many benefits: 

  • High speed: 4000rpm to fit with the most demanding takt time and achieve top of the class on this high torque range. 
  • High torque: Pulse tightening up to 80 Nm without reaction arms simplifies workstation design while reducing physical strain on operators. 
  • Oil‑free mechanical gearbox: It eliminates oil‑related downtime and ensures stable operation across shifts. 
  • Progressive Pulse: Configurable pulse behaviour adapts to different joint stiffness requirements, helping ensure stable tightening across varying assembly conditions.

With its 40 to 80 Nm capacity, the BLRTC080 teams up with the EABCLRT110 to create the ultimate high torque duo for manufacturers.

An optimized performance on soft joints with the ePULSE Battery tools range 

Field experience has highlighted the limitations of conventional pulse strategies when dealing with softer or more variable joints, where stiffness can significantly impact tightening accuracy and consistency. But thanks to its Progressive Pulse technology, Desoutter expands its application scope to softer joints. From the very first pulse, the reduced amplitude level also lowers the torque reaction, contributing to a better operator experience. 

This approach enables a single ePulse nutrunner - and even a single Pset - to cover a wider range of applications with greater consistency, reducing the need for complex configurations. At the same time, it minimizes torque overshoot when transitioning between different joint types, while maintaining controlled cycle times.

The Desoutter ePULSE nutrunners are built around four core benefits to answer key industrial challenges: 

High performance: High speed and an integrated torque transducer, combined with a wide torque range - now extended with the BLRTC080 (with the DynaPULSE patented technology that waits for the gearbox rebound to fully settle before starting the next pulse, improving pulse efficiency).

Ergonomics: No reaction force up to 110 Nm, with a lightweight and well-balanced design for improved operator comfort (with the patented ErgoShield gearbox design, reducing pulse duration by up to 5 times).

Low TCO: Oil-free technology with an oil‑free mechanical gearbox, reduced maintenance requirements and no need for reaction devices.

Enhanced versatility: With Progressive Pulse technology, enabling better adaptation to joint variability, especially on soft and mixed applications, while simplifying setup with fewer Psets. 

ePULSE is the one-hand pulse solution, powered by innovation and now for high torque applications!
