Steve;

If your referring to the TE 6-A, Its a great little tool!

You'll have it for years. It will hold to to what ever you give it.

Carried one in my job box for over 2 years now.

Hilti Tools

Anyone know of a place that sells Hilti tools at realistic prices? I'm tired of burning up Dewalts, Milwaukees, Bosch and the like. None of them have a clutch mechanism that holds up under hammer drill use. Looking for the Viessmann of hammer drills. The new Ridgid line at Home Depot looks like more of the same.

home depot

I live in CT and the home depot in Bridgeport has a Hilti section. A hilti rep. is always there too. I just asumed all the home depots were like this. Maybe make some calls to home depots in your area, one may have hilti products.

Hilti

Steve;
Hilti are expensive, but you won't go wrong if you buy one. They are by far the most common brand of hammer drill on construction sites around here.

I believe you can only buy them from Hilti. We have a rep that comes around once a month or so, goes to the shops and to the larger job sits.

Try the Hilti web site to see if you can find the rep for your area.

The company I work for bought some battery powered Hilti hammer drills a couple of years ago. What a great little tool. Just the cats meow for a lot of things.

good luck

No

Hilti at the local (25 miles away) Home Depot. Not even a trace of 'em. Heck this is Northern Michigan. Parts of this area just got electricity 50 years ago.

Hilti

steve,
I dint know Hilti was sold at home depot. Shows how long its been sence I've been in one.

Still, I think that the best bet is to call Hilti and find a rep for your area.

You can Order direct on line. But you have to registar first.

Can I be noisy? what, spcificly are you looking for and what will be your main use? Just curious.

Thanks

Right now

I'm looking for a cordless hammer drill. Just something for setting anchors 1/2" diameter and down. I see from their catalog they have a 36V model. Anyone have any experience with that tool?? We just took the clutch out of the 3rd DeWalt in less than 14 months. These are their top of the line to boot. The 18V with the metal chuck. They just don't hold up. Repairs are a 3 week turnaround and cost half the price of a new drill.

Steve,

I can attest to their reliability and longetivity (in the 120V dept. anyways)

When I struck out on my own , my father gave me a 3/8th Hilte hammerdrill that he purchased in 1963.(the year he started knocking tin, and the company that he and 5 friends started, that lasted almost 30 years). I got stares and glares everytime I pulled this beauty out for doing anchors in either block or solid walls. It looked "SO old" .(The 3/8 bits with up to 1/2" bore sizes were a nice touch, THANKS DAD!) By the end of most jobs, others were asking to borrow it. It weighed about 6 pounds, but outdrilled every cordless in the bunch, and still does!

Tools are a very personal thing. I've found this over the course of many years, yet wouldn't give up my old SK sockets for anything else unless they paid me for advertising.I own tools from the best in the business, but the name on the handle doesn't make it right for you .The feel in your hand is the ultimate telltale. Comfort works .Chris
