[fbaurley]

Anyone know of someplace online that handles hilti products such as drills. I searched, and didn't have any luck.

There is no other when it comes to concrete drilling and anchoring systems.



You can order online factory direct.

In concrete circles it's not called a hammer drill, it's called a Hilti.

Great units but the Bosch are pretty good too.

I wasnt really looking to buy, but was at an auction today and one only brought $200, and it appeared to be in good shape. I think the model was a something??- 55. I know they arent cheap,and I thought a new one would be aorund $ 4-500?

My local stores have started to carry Hilti products and some even have a Hilti rep at the "professional" desk.

Try more like $1100-$1500, and upwards, for a new one!!!

I love the one I have, it eats concrete like it was nothing, barely gets warm after cutting four or five 1 & 1/2" holes, but they're overpriced. If you saw one that cheap, I'd jump on it if I was you.

On the Hilti Home page there is a link to "Find your nearest Hilti Center or Pro Shop" which lists places across the USA.

A former co worker of mine works for Hilti as a field engineer. He travels several states giving presentations to engineering firms, state engineers, construction firms, etc. He has access to their full line of products. When I was building my barn and needed some anchors and holes drilled, he came to my place and "gave me a presentation"

I have stated before, and will again, that when it comes to drilling concrete, for any reason, Hilti is the only way to go. I started working for a large concrete company two weeks ago on a cast in-place concrete structural framed parking garage at Cincinatti State University. On the current deck we are working on (the 6th of eight) we have no less than three and often as many as seven Hilti's running on generators almost all day long. We have everything from the TE-5 to the TE-75 (the big mutha) and drill from 1/4" for short anchorage points and bracing to 5/8" and 3/4" and bigger for larger anchorage points for hanging 16' x 12' gange forms on sheer elevator walls. Yes, they are pricey, but if you consider that if a drill breaks and you can't make a pour and have four guys standing around making ~$25 per hour, the money adds up really quick. It's cheaper to buy equipment you KNOW will not leave you stranded. FWIW.
