Just got a TE-800

[PaulE]

My Bosch demo hammer finally died after 4-5 years of abuse. The bosch was good to me, and didn't owe me anything, but came across a deal on a hilti TE800 with a bunch of the new bits and pulled the trigger. It looks and feels bigger then the Bosch If it hits harder I'm sure i will be pleased. I will put this tool through the test.

 

although this will not use the SDS Max bits that i have acquired, i will be buying a large rotary hammer in the near future where they will see some use. Especially the clay spade and ground rod driver.

Can't go,wrong with Hilti either. Another solid rotary tool.

Hilti is probably #1 for concrete

The tool of the pro bank safe cracker! That thing is a freakin' beast!!!!!

[comp56]

pretty heavy duty that is for sure, what kind of weight is it?

Hilti is probably #1 for concrete

I believe this to be the general consensus anywhere I go on my commercial jobs

I really enjoy using Hilti tools too. I don't know why but they just feel right and run like a tool should. And look good doing it. Good buy man.

Comp must be drooling over the red and black, even if it's not Milwaukee.

got to use it today for some simple chipping. using a 3": bit. worked as i would expect. It does feel a little heavier then the bosch, but not that much of a difference. Hilit says it weighs 24lbs.the bosch weighed 22.5 lbs the bosch is more compact then the hilti.

 

the true test will come in the next few weeks when i will be saw cutting and jack hammering a 6" slab. I will also have my hilti awr3000 out, but i prefer the hand held breakers for controlled demo.

 

with the new breaker i got 3 bits. 2 of them (point and chisel) have the squiggly lines that are designed to help spread and break quicker im anxious to see how these work

 

here is the breaker i replaced with the hilti. I still plan on looking into repairing this tool, although i feel it will not be worth it. The motor seized, when i took it apart and got it spinning again it would sieze after a few seconds. I think it is a gear issue.

i will take a side by side pic and post it. the hilti is much larger
