22 volt Hilti drill

[Hytekrednek]

I got a Hilti 22 volt wrist breaker a couple months ago, the 4 speed high torque model. WOW, this thing ROCKS!! And it should, it was not cheap. I considered a Metabo and the Hilti. Both good drills, but the Hilti seems to be more versatile with the low rpm and high speed in one drill, plus their great warranty. I forget the model number at the moment. I could have gotten 2 Milwaukee 18's for the price, but the Hilti kept calling to me. I may regret it in the future, but at the moment, I am very happy with it. It did not come with the aux handle, but a call to Hilti fixed that, they shipped it out quickly to me. No hammer drilling or impact action, just raw rotational power. Anyone else here have a Hilti cordless drill or tool here and have any input? I am not happy about yet another set of batteries to monitor, already have Bosch, Milwaukee, DeFault, and Metabo batts to worry about, so I hope this is worth the extra money and hassle of yet another type of batteries.

I have a bunch of older (Swiss) Hiltis and love them. Can't comment on that big bastige but usually they put out a good product.

The drill I got is made in China by Hilti, I am not crazy about this fact, but I will admit that it is extremely well made for any country of origin. I prefer to keep the money in country, but that is not always an option. I hope to get a Hilti cordless rotary hammer drill in the future, I already have the batts and charger now.

This is my first post in the Garage journal and I recently joined team Hilti.

I am having an issue with the sf 6h-a22(22volt combo hammer drill/driver). It isn’t working properly but the hilti guys sent me postage to send it in. I should have it back by the end of the week.

The sid 4-a22 impact drill rocks. It has plenty of power and feels great in my hand. I use it all throughout my workday.

The first hilti tool I bought was the sb 4-a22, compact bandsaw. It is very compact and weighs 7-8 lbs. It has a ton of power and the hilti batteries last me what seems like forever. I did break 2 bandsaw blades in the first 2 1/2 months. They were the 14-18tpi
blades and I have since switched to 24tpi. I like how it’s cutting now with more teeth but time will tell.

The bandsaw kit came with a charger, 2- 2.6 batteries, 3 blades and a really nice hilti bag for $329. The bag feels like it will last for a while, which was a plus considering some of the bags I’ve gotten with cordless tools before. The other kit, I bought from someone on craigslist(brand new), included the combo hammer drill/driver, impact drill, 2-3.0 batteries, flashlight, charger and the same tool bag that comes with the bandsaw.

Overall I am very pleased with my hilti 22v tools. I don’t like the fact they’re made in china but if they end up lasting me many good years than I guess I can’t complain. You can tell when holding in your hand that they are well built. I had the ridgid drills before and they worked great. They are heavier than my Hilti drills and the hilti have a clean look. Unlike the cluttered busy space gun looking ridgid. Not to put down ridgid, mine gave me over 5 years of good service. I did sell all my ridgid tools (other than the rolling toolbox) so I now I have hilti 22v tools and a little 12v makita drill set.

I have a bunch of Hilti corded and cordless all top notch stuff. I’ve bought pieces here and their, but the oldest of the cordless is 7-8 years now and still kicking. just like new... I have never had an issue with any of their products. From screwing sheetrock to breaking concrete they have a tool that will perform at or near the top in almost every power tool category.


I have the following at this point...

sfh18 cordless hammer drill
sfc18 cordless compact drill
siw18 cordless 3/8 impact
wsr18 cordless sawsall
wsr1400 big sawsall
dag450 4.5” grinder
dx460 powder actuated nailer
te70avr SDS Max combi hammer
dd100 Small Core drill

Hilti is top notch equipment that will last a lifetime. I've got a plumber buddy who has a large sds hammer that must be 25 years old and used when he bought it. That thing will sink a 12 inch long 1 inch diameter bit through a solid foundation wall like drilling wood. Impressive to say the least!
