What can I say I'm pretty much all Hilti. And could only get happier when I get the barrel grip jig saw, track Saw guide plate for 6 1/2 cordless sirc and last but not least multi cutter like the Fein super cut....cordless of course.Check em out. Really smooth. http://cloud.tapatalk.com/s/5c3a468d65f70/VID_166190910_180730_487.mp4Sent from my E6810 using Tapatalk
SW60 partnered up with Maki Max blades just got that much better. Made about 130+/- cross cuts on frozen solid pt Lumber and down 2 bars to go on battery. I wouldn't be surprised if it can get over 200cuts on non pt. Like I said before in class all it's own [emoji106][emoji106]

Mine sucked ass.... I had 3-4 small pt just under 200sf at ground level and had no desire to set up Air for few hrs job especially when squeezing these in afternoon. The framer sank 1 out of every 4-5 or so. Aggravating in the least. I returned it.

Check em out. Really smooth. http://cloud.tapatalk.com/s/5c3a468d65f70/VID_166190910_180730_487.mp4So far I used them mostly on Maki track Saw and 6.5" Lefty saw. I gotta a buddy on Washington did lf foot test with Maki 2x. Ripping old df 2*12. He git something like 240lf on one charge. And 160+/ lf with Diablos on one charge. Milwaukee blade was close to Diablo

Hilti will gladly email you diagram. Are you in USA? Call there 800# or your local store or rep. If not bite the 200 and get it like new. They also discontinued that model. New Lefty is a dream.
first post here , figured there had to be a forum to help since there were plenty of car ones... anyways... like the title says , WSC 7.25 A-36 dies on me , I over worked it cutting brick , it got super hot and I stopped cutting , after the fact I read somewhere that I should have ran it saw without cutting to help cool it down but didn't know at the time. the blade will turn but its running / turning like the battery is dying , but the battery is good , works in my other 36v tools no problem. hilti will repair it for $200 or 250 since its out of warranty. could it be motor brushes ? a parts diagram would help and a source to get parts , I found places online but need part numbers to cross reference.any input or advice is appreciated

Im also big fan of Diablo blades. Thats what we generally run. I did just pick up new Maki made for cordless. They seem to flow better and Last longer then Diablo need to try lil More if or better comparison.
[mention=56839]CityDecks[/mention]...I'm on Cape Cod ,MA...we build huge custom waterfront homes with massive decks...we rip engineered lumber all day....LVL,PSL,LSL,Parralam, PT, IPE....the hardest materials around.
....I'm not knocking you or Hilti, I have friends in unions doing commercial work and love those huge Hilti tools.
....Like I said, we have a Hilti rep ,big truck loaded with all the latest tools.He begs me to keep trying his stuff ,like the blades, new circ blades, sawzall blades etc..( worst blades I've ever used)...we use Diablo tracking point and Diablo demo demon, best damn blades I've ever used.
.....the drivers on the Hilti , powder guns is always breaking...the rep rips lvl stock against me ( like a race)using my 577..not even close....just think the normal Hikti framing tools are not on par with milwaukee or DeWalt... Makita has no balls(power)

For me it's been opposite. Hilti impacts and saws out perform Maki and dewalt. In battery and lifespan. Example. We decided an average 150+/- Simpson 4.5" SDS. Maki get too hot after 70. To the point where you can't hold it. And battery dies shortly after. Dewalt same thing. Hilti averages 130 SDS per 22/5.6 battery and barely get warm.
I've had way too much service / repairs with Dewalt accross the board for Impacts, new flex volt Lefty 7 1/4" saw and there batteries taking too long to charge in Summer bonking out in winter. Never had those nickle and dime issues with hilti. Now I do like Maki very much and almost went all Maki but service is out of my way and you never know when it's coming back. Dewalt is 5/ min away and that's the main reason I was so heavy in dewalt. Hilti is 5/ min the other way and service is 24-48 turn around or if your stuck grab it off the shelf on your way out. They also have a really good 5/ tool combo deal that saved almost 900 off the package and got few Perks. I also really like the way they have 1/ fast charger that does it all and fast. It's impossible to drain 1/ battery before other is charged. Keeps very lean on rooftops. We don't have the room like deck guys on the ground or you in the big houses. I run 2 team 2-3 jobs at a time out 1-high top Van. I need to be minimal but effective.

Interesting. Where you located? Gave it a fair work out today.
130lf +/- of ripping. 95-100 cross cuts on soaking wet pressure treated 2*10-12's. Before battery was ready for recharge.
That's using there ridiculous black blade's it came with. Saw had a 10/pack included. One thing for sure the saw feels great.I've used all Hilti tools ,we have a rep come by once a week to continue fixing our lasers and sds and powder actuated guns.....he brings new tools ..we test them against DeWalt right there,off the truck ....no thanks... commercial tools yes, residential construction hell no..but glad you like yours...

I've been using the hilti on wet pt. Very smooth zero bog. Gaurd has no issues of snagging in any angle what's so ever. It's so perfectly balanced that I will never touch the dewalt again. Makita would be my 2nd go too. Btw I have all three. Hilti is in class of it's own like festi or mafell. It will leave you in awe. No pulling or drift much easier to handle over other 2. It also had led light which is perfect this time of yr. Quieter then others and very fast brake. It does not safety button just lick unlock button. I made about 65+/- cuts and battery only went down 1/bar out of 4.
The rear handle and barrel grip jigsaw look nice...the 36v circ and sawzall are not very powerful compared to flexvolt..our Hilti rep didn't have these new tools yet...but Hilti makes the best powder actuated guns...

I think the square would be ideal if its on dedicated track for entire phase or Job.The edge you're taking your measurements from would need to be square to begin with otherwise your cuts would be off and with the Dewalt tracks there's no good way to hold a square against the track because of it having two anti splinter guards

You guys are ridiculous. What are you talking about.
If one of my guys is waiting for a battery to charge then I have not done my job correctly.
Purchase enough batteries to last an entire day in less you are a DIY type then you’re a business doing this for a living so make an investment in yourself and your company
you dont come come here for a solution you come here to batter a product or brand

Just curious. How long does it take you to charge flexvolt 6 and 9 amp. Here in us mine were never less then an HR and hit days 90-95f+ they would 90min +/-. Vrs 40min hot or Cold always spot on.
The only 36v I have is there new 7 1/4" Lefty sirc Saw. Rest is 22+5.6. the speed is still good accross the board.

So a 6ah Hilti battery still takes over 40 minutes to charge with the 350w charger. This isn't much quicker at all than a dewalt fast charger, metabo asx ultra or husky qc330 for example. The qc330 charges my BLi300 (9.4ah) in just under an hour and a half. Your batteries are of small capacity if they are charging so quickly and you are getting the benefit of extra Wh by using 36v tools as opposed to 18v tools. Let us know how the new kit works out!

Here's the sheet. My Hilti package just arrived. Charger 350watt 9/amp.There is no way a 4A charger will do a 5.2A battery in less than half it's rated time. Even if you use 100% efficiency in your calculations it is still well over an hour until full charge. My flexvolt 6/2 charge in less than an hour. Something is wrong with your batteries and/or chargers.
Hilti is good quality, but if it was "that" much better to the point the batteries last twice as long, chargers charge twice as fast and tools are cool while others are smoking I'm pretty certain the other brands would fail to succeed. These days even a ryobi home use tool wouldn't even perform that poorly against a well know commercial branded tool. The build quality of Hilti is exceptional but their batteries, motors and chargers aren't twice as good as the competitors at the same level.

Came accross the Hitachi cordless Framer. Man that thing is heavy. I'll Stick with the light weight Everwin coil gun's at 6/ lbs it's worth plug-in air especially since I just picked up the Cali air. So quiet you don't even know it's running.The dewalt framer seems to be liked by a lot but I've never used one. I myself have paslode guns and other than the fixing gun which jams more often than it probably should I have only ever used the Hitachi which is as powerful as my Senco SN4 pneumatic gun but with the bonus of cordless and no gas. No gas nd cordless is a big saving but it comes at the cost of a lot more weight.
I personally dont mind weight in cordless tools but with Hitachi being a lot newer than the Dewalt and the two operating by completely different mechanisms, it's not really a fair comparison. All guns were tested for speed, power, runtime and ergonomics on a YouTube video and paslode was still the favourite.

I don't see what could be wrong here? Hilt charges 5.2 in about 35 min with standard charger in out I posted. Dewalt is never less then an HR regardless of 5.0 or 6.0 or even 9. 0 for that matter. I have them all. Makita is a flat 45 min.
Hilti uses Panasonic batteries and hands down makes the best batteries. Period. Don't Know about ratings and physics. I know what I know and it took 35min +/-. I

It's the big 22v 5.3 Batteries my fast charger is dead due to rain b
You've probably got a bad Hilti battery.
One of my new 3.0ah Hitachi batteries charges from flat to full in only 5 minutes!
Hitachi have very fast fan cooled chargers, but I'm going to use common sense here. It's a bad battery. It likely ran too flat while in storage. I've had the same happen with individual 18650 cells I use for flashlights.

Flexvolt 6.0 amp and 5.0 still take an HR Even there fan cooled charger.
So if dewalt and Hilti both 4amp chargers doesn’t that mean for instance if 2 identical batteries were placed in the chargers they would charge at the same rate ?
What formula makes the hilti faster 4amp charger+Hilti Nostalgia = Fastest in the market ?
CityDeck claims never under an 1hr for dewalt 4amp but Hilti 4amp charges in 35 mins. Either the dewalt batteries your using are bigger than your Hilti’s or your just as I assumed biased against dewalt and for Hilti.

It's been a long wait coming
DeWalt's rapid charger is 8 amp output and fan cooled so it cools the batteries too. 2x rate of the Hilti.
Makita rapid is 8 amp output.
Hitachi/Metabo HPT charger is 9 amp. Bosch rapid is 8 amp output with a 16 amp output charger coming next year with boost mode.

Just got this. Fits both Maki and festi Rails like a glove. That means zero wiggle. Blade is a hair off but if it was new rubber/ anti splinter it would dead on.
