PaulE Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 anyone here use a hilti TE60, wondering if it is worth the money over the large bosch and makita's. I am entertaining buying a lightly used one, opposed to a new bosch. im looking for a large rotary hammer for drilling 1"-1/ 1/2" holes. I have a coring drill for anything bigger then that.I also need the SDS max chuck to work my ground rod attachment (my new TE800 would be perfect, but i don't want to buy another ground rod driver for that style chuck) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboS1ice Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 Hilti is king of rotary hammers, bosch makes a good hammer as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poisonfangs85 Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 TE60's are fantastic. You will not be disappointed, it will last Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeldfabNeil Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 I currently have a hilti te 60 act avr, it's actually my second hilti te 60. When we had a house fire I lost some tools an eventually replaced some. I didn't question weather or not to go with another hilti 60 for a combo hammer. Of the tools lost it was replaced rather quickly. I have drilled 1 1/2 wholes before no issue. When I bought my second one the guy said its recommended to core up to 4". I myself have only ever done 3 9/16" as the biggest core I have done. I could see it doing more then 4" if needed but i have never done it. For chipping it's great as well. Size/weight is well it's a rotary hammer not a 12 volt driver, don't expect to comfortably hold it all day everyday. It feels good in the hands for what it is, but again it's not a 12 volt driver. Vibration is there but very reasonable an less then competitors models I have used. I have yet to use dust extraction with mine but from what I know it has accessories for it avaible. The initial investment with hilti is a lot compared to the compition. However your getting a quality tool. You probably won't replace it every couple months either. There service in support is said to be good even thoe I have yet to need it. So yes it's expensive at first but it's worth it if you depend upon your tools.

PaulE Posted February 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 I just ordered one. Excited to get it next week and put it to the test. I hope it is similar quality and power as all my other hilti tools Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulE Posted February 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 i got it today. It is smaller then i expected. It came with a few chisels and 1 mean looking drill bit (i think 5/8") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Glassey Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 The thing I can tell you from owning hilti is its equipment that will not let you down. [emoji846] John, Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk[emoji848] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulE Posted February 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 my experience with hilti has been nothing but the best. i own a few dx guns 2- gx120s 1- awr3000 jack hammer 1-te7 sds plus awr 800 a hilti DCM II coring rig 1- te60 all have held up to any abuse we can throw at them.
