The guy who owned it, said the two speed is unique with a spin speed of
1240rpm not 500rpm as most are. It also has a 10mm chuck and is suitable for drill bits not just hex shaft screwdriver bits or hex bits. So it is a normal drill too. The batteries charge in 15 mins. So a drill/Impact Driver and collating gun all in one. I still don't know the price.
I didn't say that they made crap, I said that not all of it is of high quality. That is not the same thing. Nobody has suggested that Hilti's high end industrial products are not of good construction and durability. Their small cordless tools are nothing special for example.
There is no one brand or manufacturer within a given category who makes the best tools of a given type in that category. Experience and many reviews show that there is not one manuacturer who has best of breed across the board. This is one reason why TTI's approach with their Ryobi product line may appear to be attractive at first sight because of commonality of battery. However, this is a lock in and while they may be making the best product within their class for one tool type, they won't be for another and so the customer is disadvantaged in a different way.
I gave an example of their pistol grip battery impact drill. Nothing else is like it. A mains Makita SDS will not outdo it in brick up to 6mm. Not cheap though!!! A true professional tool - and made in China like all other major tools, except Kress and Sparky.
Matt, read what I wrote. "A mains Makita SDS will not outdo it in brick up to 6mm". That tells you a lot about this baby. If you don't need to drill larger than 6.5mm this will sail though brick. You can do larger and it still perform very well, although not as good as an SDS above 6.5mm. I know of no battery drill that touches it.
