Hilti’s Cordless Rotary Hammer Tool With Lithium-Ion Technology

Powerful as always, lighter than ever, incorporating the latest technical advances, the new Hilti TE 6-A is an exceptionally powerful cordless rotary hammer. No matter whether drilling in concrete, stone or masonry, with drill bits up to 20 mm in diameter, this new tool makes the job easier for professionals in all construction trades. Thanks to its extremely low vibration, 1.5-joule single impact energy and hammering speed of 5,000 impacts per minute, this superb new cordless tool makes light work of drilling anchor holes and through holes. Smooth speed control makes accurate hole - starting possible, even on brittle materials. With its comfortable total weight of only 3.8 kg, the TE 6-A allows long periods of use without tiring, even when working overhead. This performance has been made possible by Cordless Power Care, a system specially developed by Hilti to maximize all the benefits of lithium - ion (Li-ion) battery technology for users of professional - grade tools.

Although only half the weight of conventional nickel - cadmium batteries, the capacity and life of Li - ion batteries is up to 100% higher; they also possess excellent storage characteristics and have the added advantage of an extremely short charging time. With the introduction of CPC, Hilti has further optimized the Li - ion technology for use in high - performance tools for the professional. Instead of the drop in performance associated with conventional batteries, constant power is maintained right from the first to the very last hole drilled. Special microprocessors incorporated in the chargers and batteries communicate with each other to ensure maximum charging efficiency. At the same time, all battery cells are monitored to prevent deep discharge, overcharging and overheating. At the touch of a button, the battery status display indicates the level of power remaining in the battery. As these batteries for the TE 6-A show no "memory effect" they can be recharged at any time, irrespective of their state of charge, and use of cells of the highest grade ensures an even higher number of charging cycles and exceptionally long life. Protected by a rugged casing, these Li - ion batteries are well prepared for the toughest conditions and wear and tear of the construction site.

More than just drilling

Maximum drilling efficiency can be achieved only with drill bits that are optimally matched to the power tool. The drill bits of the new Hilti TE - C3X generation, optimized for each diameter range and featuring an innovative flute design and special solid carbide head, achieve unbeaten drilling performance with the TE 6-A.

The tool's interface for interchangeable chucks not only allows all common types to be fitted in a flash, thanks to its forward / reverse switch and availability of a special bit holder, this cordless rotary hammer also becomes a powerful screwdriver.
