reusable? Our new third-generation HUS3
mechanical screw anchors raise the bar
in anchor innovation. Not only do they
support loads equal or greater than stud
anchors, they have a tested and approved
adjustability process for quick and easy
base plate levelling, and a convenient way
to test if the anchor can be reused.
Have you ever experienced difficulties
drilling in reinforced concrete? Our new
Hilti TE-CX and TE-YX hammer drill bits with a solid carbide head for faster,
trouble-free drilling - stop at nothing.

Hilti HUS3 Undercut screw anchors

THE INDUSTRYS
MOST CUTTING-EDGE
SCREW ANCHOR.
Introducing HUS3: Hiltis third generation mechanical screw anchors.
Raising the bar in anchor innovation, they not only allow you
to support loads equal or greater than stud anchors, they are
adjustable and re-usable too!

Choice of attractive finishes: countersunk and

hexagonal heads available - no further finishing
needed.

Robust and reliable: a two-step hardening

process ensures robustness and protects
against weathering.

A screw with the strength of a stud: supports

loads on a par - or better - than stud anchors.

Easy setting: optimised thread makes high

quality settings quick and easy.

Easy to set

Adjustable

Re-usable

Cutting edges for easy settings in concrete,

masonry and hollow core slabs.

HUS3 is also the worlds first screw

anchor featuring a tested and approved
adjustability process (DiBt), allowing
for quick and easy base plate levelling,
adjustments and realignments.

The HUS HRG tube provides a quick,

convenient and approved way to test if
HUS3 screw anchors are re-usable. Simply
slide the anchor through the tube if it
jams then the screw is re-usable.

No compromise in performance even in

hard aggregates, high-strength concrete
and in contact with reinforcements.

ACTIVE HOLE
CLEANING ALL BUT
A MEMORY.
You probably know inadequately cleaned holes can significally
reduce the performance ofconventionally installed
chemical anchor systems.
You probably know that cleaning holes after drilling is tedious,
time-consuming and dusty. You probably also know the hassle of
using inconvenient equipment such as steel brushes,
compressed air or manual pumps.

But do you know that Hilti Safe SetTM technology eliminates this
factor almost completely?

helps ensure trouble-free anchor installation
the hole diameters are accurate so long
as the wear mark is visible.

Each of the four carbide cutting edges

leads into its own helical flute for more
efficient removal of dust and fragments and
thus faster drilling progress.

Also available in extra-long sizes for

applications in renovation and drainage work.

INNOVATIVE WAYS
TO GET YOUR
HANDS ON THE
LATEST INNOVATIONS.
At Hilti, we understand the importance of quality, reliability and
safety to your business. Investing in high-performance tools that
bring innovation to your jobsite not only helps you to get more
done, but also keeps you working longer.
No matter how big or small the project, we have a range of

ways to get your hands on them.

Dust Removal Systems

Measuring Systems

Cordless Combihammers

Launched in 2013, our range of cordless

vacuums work with our drilling, demolition
and diamond tools, and are designed to
withstand the harshest jobsite conditions.

Easy-to-use and drop-impact resistant up

to 1.5 m on concrete, our lasers are
extremely fast and reliable, even under the
most difficult conditions.

In January 2013, we launched the worlds

first cordless combihammer - the Hilti
TE 30-A36 giving the same power as
corded tools but with no trailing cables.

Low-vibration Breakers

Diamond Drilling and Coring

Diamond Cutting and Sawing

Our portfolio of breakers range from 4 kg to

30 kg but all of them come with impressive
breaking performance and low vibration
(AVR as standard).

Hilti has over 30 years experience in

diamond drilling and coring technology and
a wide fleet of tools for drilling from 8 mm
to 800 mm in all base materials.

Hilti has a wide portfolio of tools: from small

angle grinders for cutting tiles to diamond
wall saws for cutting large wall openings and
heavy concrete demolition.

Hilti Tool Hire Partners - offering

an extensive fleet of Hilti tools
and related consumables.

Hilti tools are built to last. But even if a

defect occurs, Hilti will take care of it
quickly and professionally, completely free
of charge for up to 2 years from the date of
purchase. After that we put a limit on what
a repair can cost - for as long as you keep
on using your Hilti tool. We even give you
a lifetime warranty against manufacturing
defects. Thats not just reassuring to know,
its unique in the power tools business.

With Hilti Fleet Management, a fixed

monthly charge covers all tool, service
and repair costs. This greatly simplifies
your financial planning and takes a load
of administrative work off your shoulders.
There are no hidden costs. All tools in the
programme are replaced at regular intervals
with latest generation tools, helping to avoid
costly downtime.

There are many reasons why hiring might be

the best solution for you - such as specific
applications, peak demands, deadlines,
cost, etc. Hiring equipment for a certain
length of time could be more cost effective
than buying the same piece of equipment
outright. It also means that you will have
access to the latest model and if the tool
breaks down the hire company will replace
the tool providing the damage is not due to
improper use or negligence by the operator.

Cordless drilling in concrete

CORDLESS
FREEDOM WITH THE
PERFORMANCE OF
CORDED TOOLS.
When drilling in concrete the benefits of cordless are persuasive.
Theres no cord dictating where you work, no set up time to get
started, no searching for power outlets and no tripping over cables.
Whats more Hiltis powerful and long-lasting Lithium-ion batteries
mean no compromise in performance and up to a full days work
on a single battery charge.

Overview of our cordless drilling range.

Working comfort

Virtually dust-free drilling

= Optimal = Possible

Hilti batteries incorporate the latest

Lithium-ion technology to provide
unequalled power and capacity. Four LEDs
keep you informed about the batterys state
of charge. Rubberized, impact-resistant,
fiberglass-reinforced casings and battery
cells protected by the Cordless Power Care
(CPC) system mean they can handle even
the toughest jobsite conditions.

Compact size, lightweight and ergonomic

design make for superior handling across
the portfolio. The TE 6-A36 and TE 30-A36
tools also come with Active Vibration
Reduction (AVR), which reduces vibration
by up to two-thirds compared with
conventional power tools, resulting in
greater working comfort and increased
productivity. The TE 30-A36 also comes
with Active Torque Control (ATC): two
sensors detect jamming of the drill bit and
the motor is decelerated by an electronic
safety cut-out - in a fraction of a second preventing injury.

Compatible with the TE 6-A36, the

TE DRS 6-A Dust removal system makes
drilling into concrete virtually dust-free and
therefore safer and more productive.

Triaxial vibration for drilling in concrete (m/s)

Hilti TE-CD / YD Hollow drill bits compatible with the TE 30-A36 (see pages
14-15) - remove dust from the point of
impact, meaning a virtually dust-free
environment. It also makes hole-cleaning
unnecessary, meaning no need for brushes,
blow-out pumps or compressed air to
clean holes.
