Hilti

Hilti tools and fastening systems cover drilling, demolition, anchoring and layout for professional construction crews. You can work through those jobs within one brand, with onsite project advice and training available from Hilti’s sales representatives and field engineers. Start with the work your crew repeats every day.

Hilti Corporation is based in Schaan, Liechtenstein. Brothers Martin and Eugen Hilti founded it in 1941, and it remains family-owned and privately held. The company supplies professional construction tools, fastening systems, fire protection, software and services.

Hilti will repair or replace parts that break because of material or workmanship defects for 20 years. That’s meaningful backing for a tool you plan to keep working. Wear-and-tear coverage deserves a separate comparison because the terms vary by tool.

Drilling and demolition

The hole should decide which drill goes on the job: its diameter, depth, material and how many you’re drilling. Hilti offers hammer drills and diamond drills. Repeated anchor holes and a service opening put different demands on a drill, so match the tool and bit to the hole.

For demolition, working position matters. A hammer you’re guiding into a slab loads your body differently from one you’re holding against a wall. Match Hilti’s demolition hammers to the material, working height and length of the breaking session.

Nuron gives you a common battery platform across light-duty through heavy-duty applications. Plan the kit as a system. Before ordering, confirm that the selected tool, bits, dust equipment, batteries and chargers fit together.

Adhesive and mechanical anchoring

Hilti offers both adhesive and mechanical anchoring systems. The connection design and base material decide which fits the job. Adhesive anchoring makes hole cleaning, installation temperature and cure time part of the schedule; mechanical anchors have their own drilling and setting requirements. Follow the specified system and its installation instructions.

Hilti’s onsite project advice and training can help when you’re introducing an anchoring system to a crew. Keep that training tied to the equipment and installation tasks on the project.

Laser layout

Choose by the reference you need. Lines help you align work, points help transfer locations, and rotating lasers establish a reference plane across a work area. Hilti’s range includes combi, line, multiline, point and rotating lasers, plus optical levels.

Hilti describes its rotary lasers as drop-tested and reinforced for jobsite conditions. That’s a practical durability feature for equipment that travels with the crew. Match the selected tool’s accuracy, working range and receiver requirements to the layout task.

Repair coverage and Fleet

Hilti’s two-year free-repair offer includes parts, labor, shipping and wear and tear, subject to tool-specific qualifications. Grinders, gas saws and several other tools put wear-and-tear repairs on your budget. Excluded consumables are also your expense.

Hilti’s fleet solution includes repairs, loaners and upgrades; its layout-tool Fleet offering also includes calibration. Compare the agreement against the equipment your crew needs continuously and the backups already on hand.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Hilti tools good?

Hilti tools are a solid choice if repair support matters to how you run your crew. Parts that break because of material or workmanship defects have 20-year repair-or-replacement coverage, though wear-and-tear coverage varies by tool. That backing matters when you’re keeping equipment working for years.

Where are Hilti tools made?

Hilti makes products in its own factories and also works with outside specialist suppliers. The country of manufacture depends on the particular product, so you can’t use the brand’s home address as the manufacturing location for every tool.

Where is Hilti from?

Hilti comes from Schaan, Liechtenstein, where brothers Martin and Eugen Hilti started a five-person mechanical workshop in 1941. The company is still based there, and its North American headquarters are in Plano, Texas.

What is Fieldwire by Hilti?

Fieldwire is construction jobsite-management software, and Hilti acquired it in 2021. If you’re sorting through the brand’s products, it belongs on the job-management side of your operation.
