HILTI 1/2 Impact Wrench 1,885 in lbs of Torque!!!

[@futurewdt]

Here in the U.K. a lot of hire companies use HILTI. As a mechanical engineer, I love Hilti products so much and the service from the Reps are amazing. You pay for what you get and with Hilti it’s the best! Hammer drill gone down ? Call Hilti rep within 3 hours you’ll have another on site ready to rumble while he takes your broken one to get repaired and back in 2 days!!

[@ManCaverTools]

I Thank you so much for viewing :)

[@eve__________]

Unless your last hammer drill was purchased in 04, brought it in to the store this summer (because it wouldn’t hammer, but still would drill). And they said they couldn’t fix it, couldn’t replace it, and told me to buy a new $800 one

[@dariusfrench5]

Here in France 🇫🇷, when you Ask for Hilti on a jobsite every guys that's is the Rotary hammer drill even if it is another company 😊Also the accessory like sds drill bit have No comparison .So as oversea guy i Can understand why MCT is in love ♥️ with the Liechtenstein tool company... Thanks for your video you always made them with passion and serious👍👏♥️🇫🇷

I thank you very much for your support Darius

[@johnadams1052]

Everyone trying to vouch for the Milwaukee should try using them in commercial construction where it counts can’t tell you how many Milwaukee’s don’t go past the year mark

[@ManCaverTools]

I strongly feel that the HILTI will majorly outlast the Milwaukee

[@plissken94th57]

Because everything Milwaukee is all China now for the most part. HILTI does have their tools manufactured in China and the 12v batteries but everything above like the 22v, 36v are made in Poland. I forget what other tools aren’t manufactured in China or entirely in China. They’re also not owned by Techtronics either.

Hi, excellent video ty so much, I’ve always used the hilti jack hammer and the hammer drill and there both outstanding tools, excellent quality video ty, regards, Bob,

Hi, Maybe we have more Hilti Tools here in Europe (Germany), but we pay twice the price you do 😱. F.e. You payed about 130.-$ for your Hammerdrill? In good old Germany we pay 275.-€. This is 325.-$ bare Tool. Love your Videos

[@Mixwell1983]

Isnt 1885 in lbs pretty weak for a 1/2 impact wrench ? 157ft lbs is like 3/8 territory.. Most 1/2" are like 450+ ft lbs. Is this like a compact or something, cuz the numbers arent addin up.. Wouldnt a 3/8 be as strong and smaller? Theres actially a hilti distributor like right up the road from me here in So Cal, i knew the made concrete anchors before i didnt know power tools back then ha. Edit: okay after reading comments i see its not a mid range.. I didnt know they made 1/2" below mid range torque.. Usually you go 3/8" but again perhaps different countries have diff specs

[@ManCaverTools]

I agree, like I said that's not a good number this size and it being a half inch. I think it still should be more powerful because they made it a 1/2

[@Bromosapien429]

@@ManCaverTools have you done any videos or write ups of the hilti siw 22T-A? Im only finding it has 3892in lbs which doesnt seem like its competitive with the milwaukee M18 which has quite a bit more. Any reason the hilti could make up for that on paper deficiency?

ft.lbs vs. inch.lbs for every ft. pound would be 12 in. pound 1800in.lbs ÷ 12 = 150ft lbs. torque milwaukee will smoke it.

@@ManCaverTools used that 8h/d 5d/week about 1/2year. Connected beams together with bolts & we have both hilti & milwaukee. Hilti was better for hands and Light weight. Hilti shakes less or shaking is softer. But as said ewery work needs the tool it demands, over powerfull is not better and usually heavyer.

[@billlee1724]

150 isn’t anything special, just about all 1/4 hex impacts do that, why would you want a 1/2 that does that????

[@MrMikeqwerty]

@@billlee1724 it depends how big bolts you need To use. I used it To connect 20cm/7,8in Iron C beams. It was small inuf To go inside the beam when connecting 2 C beams over eachother. Like i said every tool has its purpose.

Haven’t watched all yet, but if this does nut busting torque at 1,800 I’m selling my Milwaukee and buying this! Edit; Need to do a torque test, I would like to know if it actually has that much torque! 👍🏻👍🏻

I think this tool create for anchors and bolts for concrete ,and they want to tightening in a proper way thats why they dont put so much torque on that system ,also u have the adapter and tell you when is done ;) i dont thing this tool is for mechanics ;) hilti is a smart company ;) over performance is not always good ,because u can damage the bolts ;)

that is correct.. this tool is not about speed. but I am making a new kind of test to test out power

I don't understand why you don't believe 1885 in/lbs is high. The DeWalt impact driver is rated at 1825, Milwaukee Gen 3 is 2000, and Kobalt is rated at 2400 in/lbs respectively. For an impact wrench, I'd say it's very under powered.

Bill Lee well bill if the video don’t tell you shit quit watching them and shut up. These videos help a lot of us. No doubt he don’t need 10 of everything no individual person does. He spends this money to show us all the power and speed differences in different brand tools so we know what we need to buy in order to get our jobs done without wasting money buying lesser tools that won’t do the job then try another. Yes he makes money off these videos but are you gonna buy all these tools out of your pocket and demonstrate them all to us for free?

Yeah everyone talks about Hilti reliability... They do talk about it.. That's for sure.. They.. Do.. Talk about it.. But... Where's the proof?? All u ever hear is how in theory.. They're built better.. But.. No proof?? I only ever see new Hilti. I never see old..

[@ManCaverTools]

That's not My name and proof is in the products. HILTI never needed to make 7 versions of a tool to make it better. HILTI just made the first version a brushless tools the past year 2 most of them were made in 2020. Brushes HILTI tools were so reliable they didn’t need to make 7 versions of a drill like all the other companies did

In a realistic world where time is money.. Hilti is going to be shutting down " protecting itself" and just takin forever to do anything. Even if it last a little longer it's cheaper in the long run to buy the more common tools. Time is money in the real world. Which Hilti isn't designed for.

[@vojnikjna30]

You should double check the prices on the hilti website. Baretools they are not far off from other brands. Also because they are not the fastest are does not mean they are underperforming tools. I have used multiple versions of the same cordless tools with Milwaukee usually being the fastest but hilti hands down always outlast all of its competitors and the 20-2-1 is unmatched.

[@ninja3169]

No offense bro but when you bring up Hilti you Fan boy a bit too much, if you want to be a tool reviewer you need to be a bit more unbiased. All tools have there faults and positives Hilti is a quality product but is a pro tool that specializes in larger tools there smaller tools are good but not infallible. They are expensive when you take in the price to buy batteries, chargers, accessories, etc. Also the warranty process is not fun either waiting for a repair man to come out or to send it away not knowing if they will charge you for "abuse". Milwaukee's impact would destroy all the Hilti impacts, and I know you will say Hilti drill ate Milwaukee's lunch but Milwaukee did not lose badly and they continue to innovate while Hilti rests on the tried and true. The exterior design has changed very little and looks very out of date if you ask me.

[@ManCaverTools]

I know, the test results don't lie. this is a slow under powered tool. HILTI needs to work on a better version. I love all tools. but my go to is HILTI and Ryobi. Especially 12v tools. I got some new Milwaukee M12 tools coming that im excited to use. I also just got the Milwaukee Fuel Drill that I will be doing tests on. I got a video coming up talking about the new Milwuakee Tools. in my opinion the Milwaukee brand is the best around. They out done Ryobi when it comes the different types of tools, and the power the Milwaukee tools have is crazy
