Hilti 22V Nuron Circular Saw| First Impression
As a bare tool, we noticed that the Hilti 22V Nuron Circular Saw SC 30WR-22 is larger and mid-range in weight for its class.
We also noticed that Hilti reengineered the Nuron batteries to be more durable including a new, robust fiberglass-reinforced housing and external shock-absorbing bumpers.
We also really liked the 360 rotating dust chute, with a large open tunnel at the top of the blade and while we did not connect this saw to a dust extractor we know that some of you do.
Another feature we noticed immediately was the depth of cut scale.
It's large and easy to read with white numbers on a black background, indicating 1/4 inch depth od cut from zero to 2-5/8".
Setting the blade depth is easy with a large lever, but the thing that impressed me the most was how smooth the action was.
This saw has a Max. cut depth of 2” when set at 45°
When beveling, the Hilti positive stops were money, and the action on the bevel was smooth.
The positive stops at max bevel 45 and 22.5 degrees were easy to use, set, and understand. It also bevels to 50 degrees.
Its a super solid build, with easy-to-see bevel and scales.
A feature that many will be glad to hear is that this saw is track compatible with the purchase of a saw base plate and track, allowing you to use the circular saw to achieve super straight cuts.
Lastly, the Hilti 22V Nuron Circular Saw has a comfortable grip, a smooth rounded trigger with excellent action, and no pinch points.
Using The Saw in the field
We used this saw to frame a small barn for a client and there were two things that impressed me:
1. Faster Cuts:
2. Amazing Run Time
Faster Cuts
The Hilti 22V Nuron Circular Saws redesigned Nuron battery interface ensures higher performance by allowing a significantly higher power transfer, and it shows.
Everyone on the barn build was impressed with the speed of cut and power of the saw.
Comparing the older Hilti saw to this newer one, we'd estimate that it's at least 3X faster, although we did not test for that.
Runtime
We did not set out to determine runtime on the Nuron batteries but man was I wowed by how much work we got done with one battery.
Using the larger battery, the HILTI 22V Nuron Circular Saw lasted a week of constant cutting.
It cut all of the floor systems, walls, plywood, rafters and roof on our 200 sq. ft. barn before the battery needed changing.
Overall we were thoroughly impressed with the Hilti saws job site performance.
Hilti 22V Nuron | Cloud Connected | Fleet Management
Hilti built into the NURON batteries Fleet Management tool data can be used to reduce downtime and optimize tool cribs to boost customer productivity.
The HILTI 22V Nuron Circular Saw generates data which is then stored on the Nuron batteries and sent securely to the cloud during every charge without any operator interaction.
The data collected includes information such as tool usage, tool utilization, charging location, and battery state of health.
This information can then be used to alert individuals if action is needed immediately or …
can be accessed on-demand as required and is available on mobile and desktop via Hilti’s ON!Track software platform.
Improvements
If there was one feature on this saw that we'd like to see improved, it's the rafter hook.
Currently, the plastic hook is mounted on the top of the handle and swivels 180 degrees left or right.
The hook will allow hooking one single member 2x material and we often found it in the way of actuating the safety button prior to turning the saw on.
There is very little clearance to slip your thumb under the hook, especially for large-handed users.
There were several times when the hook was stowed by one user and the next had to rotate it out of the way to use the saw.
Cost
The Hilti circular saw sells currently as a bare tool for $279.00, and you can add the batteries you think you need.
We preferred to use the larger batteries with this saw; the B22-170 Nuron battery will run for approximately $174.00 and the B22-255 Nuron battery costs approximately $204.00.
Final Thoughts
As a company, Hilti has been slow to update its tools as evidenced by some of our past Head-to-Head tests.
This Hilti saw really impressed our crew.
It is well-balanced given its long length, has a super-solid build, was powerful and smooth cutting, and had nice features and adjustments.

Nice review of the 7-1/4 Hilti Nuron , great dust ejection chute my only wish is it was left sight cut. like all 6 - 1/2 saws, i'm so used to that line of sight.
Looks like a solid saw for sure. I appreciate you putting it to use for a few months before making the video. It always baffles me that any tool manufacturer will put out a tool with such a stupid flaw like that rafter hook. As soon as I saw the first view of it I immediately thought it must be in the way and then you confirmed that. They want $279 for a saw and we can't trust them to bring in some seasoned veterans to run it through the most basic practical applications? Saws 1/3 the cost have more pragmatic rafter hooks. Good review nonetheless sir.
I wish Hilti had made this saw compatible with Festool/ Makita Guide Rail Tracks.
The Guide Rail Track is similar to those of Festool and Makita
Cheers mate, great video I'm looking to spend some credit that I have with hilti New Zealand and need to upgrade my makita saw, will probably get one of these now
Rob Thanks for another great review. MMC
Very nice saw she seem powerfull enough good job
With all the tech going into the batteries, I'd like to see an option to remote disable the batteries to help prevent theft.
I believe this technology is available in the Hilty batteries as well as Milwaukee’s one key
@@ConcordCarpenter Ahh great. Quite the selling point for those new to the trades and looking for their battery platform
Nice saw. For production framing I think the dust deflector would get broken.
Love the tool!!
i like much
At first I didn't like this saw because of the length and requirement of using the giant 8ah battery compared to the XGT 7-1/4" (and the others I had to import). Line of sight and dust collection not being an afterthought have won me over.
Would consider Hilti if I could buy them for those prices. Where I live you have to sell your house and give up your first born to own one. Then you still don't get all the service benefits because there are so few outlets and the distance to the nearest one can be huge. Some big firms have contracts but as a lot of them are going under that won't help Hilti.
Australia? If so, I’m exactly the same
@@aaronvx220 Milwaukee and Makita XGT are now pretty close (the same on some tools) to Hilti prices in AU. Not sure how Hilti deals with individuals, but my old company dealt with a Hilti rep. We'd just give them a call and they'd often drive to our site to drop of resin, et cetera. I still wouldn't consider Hilti as their smallest battery is just too big for a lot of tools.
@@aaronvx220 Australia yep
Tool Scientist i did have a look, I still think they are slightly more expensive. I don’t think they do combo kits like the other brands do, however correct me if needed. The main reason I would consider Hilti is their warranty. However I’m waiting to see what the price will be of the new Nuron when they are released in Australia. At least it will give me a bit of time to save up 😬
@@aaronvx220 you can configure your own kit, but doesn't seem to give any sort of discount. Whatever you do, don't look at their battery prices (nearly double everyone else)
What is the depth of cut when using the largest battery
is the top blade guard made in plastic or metal?
Is the top blade cover plastic? Is it made in China ? How is the view down left side of blade?
Excellent sight lines, it’s a HD polymer or ABS material - super durable
Painted metal.
70 new tools, yet they still have big holes in their range
We don't have nuron in Europe😔
comes in November
It’s obvious this is a paid review and sounds exactly word for word like the manufacturer marketing material.
