Hilti’s top ten
Hirers will be able to inspect a host of new tools from Hilti when they visit the Show. Alan Guthrie was given an early preview.
Hilti is amongst the many exhibitors that choose the Executive Hire Show to unveil their latest products for our industry, and this year’s event is no exception. The manufacturer will have no fewer than ten new additions to its line-up for hirers to evaluate.
Hilti says the BX 3 nailer offers several safety benefits.
One of the most innovative is the BX 3 cordless nailer which is designed for fastening tasks on concrete and steel. The tool is the result of no less than 12 years’ research and development,
to ensure that available battery technology would deliver sufficient power and speed of operation. Hilti believes the tool offers several Health & Safety benefits, since it avoids the use of gas or powder- actuated materials, and creates virtually no dust or vibration.
The BX 3 is powered by a 22V 5.2Ah battery and is claimed to be able to drive 600 nails per charge. The tool incorporates a patented mechanism designed so that the piston moves in two directions for a controlled release, reducing recoil. It can also be attached to a pole extension to facilitate overhead work.
Greater productivity and performance
Two more newcomers are the TE 50 and TE 60, which are latest- generation versions of existing combi hammers in the 5kg and 6kg classes. These have been re-designed to offer greater productivity and performance, with reduced levels of HAV. Hilti says the TE 50 can be used to drill holes of up to 32mm diameter in concrete, with the
The TE 50 combi hammer is designed for low HAV.
TE 60 able to drill 40mm holes. Both machines are fitted with a detachable
41
cable, which means it can be replaced without having to disassemble the tool. This will now be standard on all Hilti combi hammers and breakers in future, apart from the heavy-duty TE 3000 model. Also new is the TE 3, a lightweight combi with a pistol grip, which incorporates a chisel function for small-scale tasks such as tile removal or corrective work.
Hilti will also be introducing two new cordless angle grinders powered by 36V batteries, complementing existing models in the manufacturer’s popular 22V series. The AG 125-A36 and AG 150-A36 can accept blades of 125mm and 150mm respectively, and Hilti says the fact that it can now introduce a high-performance machine like the latter model again shows the capabilities of the latest battery technology. Indeed, the company says that it will only
launch a new cordless product if it gives similar performance, or better, than its cordless counterpart. The new angle grinders also have Hilti’s ATC active torque control system to reduce the risk of injury in the case of the tool jamming.
The cordless AG 125-A36 will be launched at the Show.
Being shown for evaluation will be a new heavy-duty diamond blade Hilti has designed. The SPXR is part of the manufacturer’s EquiDist range and was originally developed for a hirer seeking a blade that could be offered for long-term use by contractors working on large-scale projects, and charging users either per day or per 0.5mm of segments used, rather than selling a series of general purposes blades. The diamonds are configured within the segments to achieve maximum longevity, and the blade will be available in 300mm, 350mm and 400mm diameters.
Sophisticated electronics are at the heart of the new DD 250 diamond drilling motor, which supersedes the DD 200 model. Its digital display enables users to quickly match the speed of operation to the size of core drill being used, so that the correct
