BREAKING! Entirely NEW Pro Battery Platform takes on Milwaukee, FLEX, DeWALT and Makita! Hilti Nuron

The information you two are bringing to us is priceless.

[@revg2608]

Wow!!! I’m a little residential carpenter and I have been buying Hili because I believe in the product . All that you stated about warranty I couldn’t believe it but it’s true. I convinced myself it would make better since to buy Hilti because of the warranty. Honestly, their tools feel better than Milwaukee fuel-I know you think I’m crazy-nope, it’s true. Hilti is tucked away of the path of normalcy but if you find one GO!!! Also, the customer service is GREAT!!!

[@narmale]

go watch AVE tear a hilti CPC down... the quality of the insides is better looking than the outsides, and they use better quality everything

[@seepictures7669]

Problem with hilti has always been their prices are off the charts. I’ve never been worried about a 20 year warranty on a power tool. 5 years from Milwaukee seems enough for me by then they’ll have already come out with a newer model.

[@christianness8983]

Hilti has been lowering prices more recently.

[@jmackinjersey1]

@@christianness8983 still not low enough for competition with Milwaukee and DeWalt, especially since those two have the different proce points. Hilti only has one, $$$. Great tools, but these are way expensive. These are for corporate accounts.

Those are manufacturers' warranties, which covers defects. Hilti has a two year no-cost warranty that covers wear and tear on the tool with free battery replacement. They'll send you a UPS label, the tool goes to their repair faculty, and you get it back in about three days without paying for parts, shipping, or labor.

[@andrewforsmark6103]

Looks really sweet! Well done Hilti. If I were to start from scratch and get unto a new platform Hilti would be my choice. But problem still remains, once you're on a battery platform its really hard to justify switching over. Once they got ya, they got ya!

[@jennifermota4188]

Reach out to your local Hilti store or account manager. Or call the customer service line. They will make that switch much easier then you may think

[@WillSimpson1]

I'd love to see what the cost on that press tool is. I'm guess it's a least one kidney based on the last time I priced Hilti. Good gear but I think many people are far too committed into red, yellow or blue to make that swap. Guess we'll see what that price point is and how useful that tracking software really is.

[@honkwok5489]

there press tool seem cheaper than millwakee, ridgid. but jaw expansive, i was checked hilti gun can use ridgid jaw

[@SkilledLabor]

I purchased the NPR-32 press tool/kit and was $500 cheaper than milwaukee and they threw in 2 extra batteries Got it at 3414 including tax. Couldn’t get milwaukee for under 4,000 Worth every penny!

[@benfowler2127]

I remember when Hilti was in Home Depot. I bought a 15 volt Nimh drill that would drill things I really didn’t think it would. I have bought a few Hilti concrete bits, and I am an hour from the closest place I know of that sells them. I already have lots of power tools, but I think the innovation is great. I would love to be able to try this new lineup. Maybe I’ll just have to make a special trip to C-bus in March.

[@VincentLaFiura]

Always loved Hilti and yes I been to their store as I wanted to buy their crazy high Cfm dust extractor but like all Hilti tools, just crazy expensive.

[@CluelessRanchHand]

It's getting insane what they're doing with the battery management systems. I really like the estimated life left. Motorola has had a similar feature on their impress high end radio batteries. Glad to see it in the power tool world now!!

[@gf2e]

I remember when I got my first Ericsson cellphone. They had proper battery management- it would tell you how long the standby and talk time remaining were. If you turned on Bluetooth, in a few minutes it would adjust the time remaining based on measuring the power draw. This was in 2002 or so. Glad to see that power tools are catching up :)

[@mattkaplan1316]

Seems very similar to the 40v, can power you impact or huge 80v tools with patients of 160v

[@kentchristen6048]

If I were at a point where I was first-time buying a set of tools or recapitalizing worn out tools, this would be really attractive. One thing I tell folks who are looking at setting up their shops and buying a lot of tools is to figure out which tools feel the best to you and then buy nothing but that brand, so you don't have to worry about which batteries you need and which are charged.

[@daves4026]

The drywall screwdriver is really interesting. More please

[@ToolShow]

It was super easy to use, and worked very well. Several of the guys were talking about it after the demo.

[@tonywong9095]

Very interesting... will the data uploaded be able to tell when a tool is not performing optimally (ie. failing) and warn me? If a tool is struggling to get a tough job done, will a friendly Hilti rep conveniently stop by the next day to offer a higher level tool? 🤔 If the tools are leased, will the batteries stop charging if I miss a payment?

[@jennifermota4188]

The new batteries have LED indicators that will tell you if there are any issues like it being to hot, to cold or the tool is just being over worked. The data pulled from the battery will give you maintenance/repair requirements on the OnTrack App. Speak to your account manager or a Hilti store first to make sure you get the correct tool for the correct application, that way you wont have to worry about needing a higher level tool. And no, the batteries will not stop charging but for the price of the fleet managment program, you won't have an issues at all with your payments :)

[@cheezieseye]

I use nothing but Hilti at work and bought myself some for home. These tools are the absolute best in the market and the warranty that comes with them is the best in the industry! My coworker and I are waiting for the Nuron Tech to come out and will be outfitting ourselves with the new line of tools!

[@paulkershner3451]

Fell in love with Hilti in 1980 using the best, most durable hammer drill.

[@IRAKLICHIKHLADZE]

I think HILTI approach is one step forward from the DEWALT approach. I like the concept very much. Think about it in a practical terms as well!!!

[@jncn1490]

Buying a whole new battery system not backward compatible is better then the Flexvolt battery that is backwards compatible? Ok

[@IRAKLICHIKHLADZE]

@@jncn1490 JN I understand your argument. I was referring to the approach of the construction power tool producer to the long term development concept. I hope you can agree with me that concept "one battery powers all tools" is more sustainable. HILTI tools are not even available yet but the idea, concept of the line that is what I am referring to

[@johnclay4502]

Flex doesn't seem to deliver this level of performance. A cordless Hilti breaker that is as powerful as a corded breaker? A Cordless Hilti saw that is comparable to the performance of a gas saw? It seems we're talking about pineapples and raisins here... BTW, Nuron is backwards compatible with an adapter.

[@IRAKLICHIKHLADZE]

@@johnclay4502 very much fair point John. I agree with you on statement that FLEX does not seem to be delivering performance which HILTI is advertising. But the actual performance of HILTI NuRon is yet to be tested in real life. I am referring to the battery infrastructure. The FLEX and HILTI have the same battery displacement 22v platform. The BMS is something breathes live into these devices.

[@PaulusTigana]

Cant really compare Hilti to consumer/prosumer tools like dewalt, makita and milwaukee. Hilti are full on professional tools for the professional. The cloud management makes perfect sense since hilti is often a part of leasing deals for tools to businesses where service is included. Then the leasing company can have total control over their fleet and know when a tool or battery needs replacing or service.

[@honkwok5489]

yet, specifically you lose your hilti tool, someone who got your tool for service. they will find out this form sealing, as long as you reported. i got story a guy seal hilti from company sold to other guy. end up the guy who seal got fire and arrest😂

[@christianness8983]

I know I have Milwaukee M12 and Makita 40v.....but this is soooooooooooo tempting to just try.

[@Xander-dx6mw]

Let's face it, unless you are an industry professional, almost none of this matters. If you are an industry professional that is new to the game, you won't be able to afford this lineup. If you are a seasoned veteran tradesman, you already have competent tools. Not many will replace an entire lineup. The data sounds great, but how often will people sit down to look at it? I think running a bunch of tools off one platform is really smart, but don't think that concrete breaker will run long on that small battery. Hell, even Milwaukee has a tablesaw that will run off the M18 2.0. The best feature I heard was the smart torque sensing idea.

[@SomeGuywithTools]

[@503Nick]

What’s the difference between the flex battery system and the hilti system? The ability to draw more amps through the connectors?

[@ToolShow]

I don't know how many amps the Flex tools can pull from their batteries. We could ask though. Beyond that, they each use their own battery designs, but likely use almost identical cells. Only a hand full of companies make cells, so they have to source them from the same places.

[@myopinionmatters]

Been watching the launch it's the interface.

[@Martian74]

I had a Hilti corded drill with hammer function, it was well made but I have never bought anything else from them because it was overpriced for how good it was. I have a large range of Hikoki tools and have never felt they were overpriced or underperformed and they really fit my hand well. I'm looking at the Makita 40V though.

[@narmale]

not impressed when the concrete slabs have weakening holes drilled in them, ontop of nice flimsy pallets to allow all the vibration to be focused on the thin concrete chunks you want to impress me? go down to your local papermill main drive, score a quicky saw blade 2x2' square and then start trying to jackhammer that 16" thick 60 year old concrete up, and let me know how it goes dont get me wrong... the hilti 2000 pavement breaker and TE70 are my go-tos for concrete work, but this test was rigged to the max

Maybe for a professional contractor that just setting up or expanding and making a new Outpost maybe but I doubt anything they make is worth switching if your already own certain ecosystems.

Rob, I was thinking about what would be the response from Milwaukee on all that competition. I wonder if they will come up with such battery/tool innovation that would absolutely silence competition. I bet they are working on Universal Powel Module that would be constantly changing amperage enabling super demanding 15 AMP motors to roar. I wonder what they will come up with?
