Hilti TE Rotary Hammer

[yuyuhjkdsuyy]

I was told that this is one of the best rotary hammer. Any idea why is it so good?

they just do it, I have an ancient te60 that I rescued from a hire company junk sale, it had suffered massive abuse after years of hire, all the (few) parts I needed were easy to get, and it works as new again, there is no effort involved, apart from physically picking it up. for domestic stuff a te17 would be more suitable.

thanks for your reply, I was offered a TE 24 or 25 at a pretty low price, not sure if i should take it. whats the characteristic of an hilti? They seem incredibly hard hitting. I need a tool for small 5 - 6 mm holes in concrete. Sometimes 13 mm holes but rarely. using a Bosch sds now.

Hilti are the best drills know to mankind if it's a low price and all in good working order, grab it.

thanks for the advise, I finally got it. came with quite a few drill bits but only the smallest at 6 mm bit was more suitable for me. The remaining are just too huge for me. was wondering if it would drill a 5 mm bit ok.

A little overkill for me now, but probably find some use for it next time.

The small drill bits that i use are cheap, maybe in this part of the world where I stay. They cost about 2 - 2.5 quids each.
