i have had the privilege of using Hilti tools a few times. They are amazing workhorses. It is a shame that they put a timer in that keeps you from doing your own service on the tools. Such things should be against the law. I am a firm believer that the owner of an item should have the right to repair it, or get the person of their choice to make the repair.
They sell to big companies a full package , for monthly fee you get the tools you need, they service those as needed, they call it Hilti Fleet Management. Old day are gone, when Hilti tools were the best, you got most money with least down time, why else tool rental companies had selves full of those. Only patents Hilti has today are for 12V, 22V and 36V batteries, so no copies can legally be made of their lithium ion power packs. Patent from 1967 for a fully electropneumatic rotary hammer drill TE17, ended 1992 , then it was free for all .
You forgot to mention the other benefits of buying from Hilti, like some guy in a polo shirt that doesn't know fuck all showing up to your shop in a brand new truck!

I have had hilti tools for over 11 years had service done on some pick up service and drop off Good service and good price work with lads who have brought other makes and always replace them . Great videos 👍👍👍
Hilti's forced scheduled maintenance is part of their "fleet program". I don't think they make much money selling their tools to prosumers is all about renting them.
they have been installing the service lights before they had the fleet program. and they make a massive markup on tool sells seeing as them charge 3 times the price for them. Remember that hilti also dont actually make all their own tools. Some like nail guns and Jigsaws are rebranded tools from other manufactures. Their first fix gas gun is actually a 500 euro Rawl gun painted red, and they sell it for 1300 euro.
@@deandohertygreaser they started their "fleet program" in 2001. I think that's around the same time they introduced their scheduled maintenance "feature". Maybe I'm wrong. If anyone knows better it should be you.
And to think I was contempating getting a Hilti set at double the price of the Dewalt drill + impact with 5Ah batteries... Hilti is evil, I knew that already but it may help others. With this video you've probably saved tons of Hilti tools going to the landfill.
Other brands like Milwaukee and DeWalt arent far behind. For many tools for you to replace e.g. a switch, youre require to buy 3/4 of the inside of the tool. Dean said that about Milwaukee, but also stated that DeWalt started to do the same. You wonder why, when in USA you send a Milwaukee for repair, they send you a new one? Cause its cheaper, than to fix.
Hilti still make brilliant tools, at least Hilti want to make there tools last as long as possible and not throw away once broken like other brands but you just have to pay a premium
Bruh, it’s cost prohibitive to repair a cordless Dewalt out of warranty. Whereas Hilti have a whole ass reduce, reuse, recycle program going with their warranty department.
This was super interesting, it is a really different mechanism than Bosch/Makita/everyone copying Bosch/Makita. That crank with the coupler is a fascinating design, and it seems to not need the problematic needle bearings others use.
I watched the video a few years ago where a Russian hacker had I think it was an Epson printer and all the sudden one day it went out and he went into it because it had a computer chip with software on it that did the very same thing after a certain amount of run time it would shut off I'm talking like 200 hours like you said or more and being a hacker he checked out the code of the software in the chip and found out that he could reverse the numbers in the code and the thing went back to working. I wish these hackers would put out a program to deprogram these things or at least give a service guy the ability to do so.
The service light situation was a hard pill to swallow. I just have a one combo hammer that has one, so whatever. But it’s that $30 flat shipping fee that absolutely guts me. The splinter guards on their jigsaws are service parts here and not stocked in stores. Suffice to say, I just live without one. 😂
Surely if they are going to put a software timer in these they should advertise (or at least have on the outside of the box) how many hours it is programmed for. Poor form from Hilti.
Countless manufacturers do that and we will never know. Once its programed into the chip theres no way to find out unless you reverse engineer it. Remember a decade ago when Volkswagen programed their cars to trick the tests and put out low emission values to pass the tests.

Hello Dean , great video ! Dont know if you change it , but on the video you put dumper other way around , the the flat side should go towards cylinder and conical side toward stryker
For me hilti is just a cash machine… i sold all my hilti stuff and left only with dx-6, but when I called hilti for spare parts list they said „no option” 😂😂😂 funny company. I hope tat EU will some day push law forcing producers for unblocking easy access for service/parts.
it seems different people have mixed experiences but most customers of hilti get a discounted price on power tools and mass discounts on consumables, which is great.I guess this service light is a way of ensuring tools always get sent to hilti in a general period of time just as a way of checking over the tool and repairing it if required usually fairly cheaply. which inturn would suggest a better overall inspection from a non tool repair specialist. i guess not all people are as in-depth as you are. i would also avoid there fleet management unless your a massive company which can’t keep track of your own tools
At least you can still get parts. Hiti NL doesn't let you order any parts at all, no matter who you are. Only option would be to go to a Hilti store, order the parts there and pay them straight away. Their heavy machines are good quality tools, but when it comes to service f*$# Hilti.
I love hilti hammer drills and fe$tool. But i can buy twenty chinesium ones for the same price and damn they actually accomplish the job.wer'e getting a wee bit spoiled in the west.
exactly how i feel. Our top brands are having their tools made in china, and they still cost a fortune and dont last long. But if you buy a cheap china brand tool, they cost a fraction of the cost and sometimes do the same amount of work. big brand tools made in china are made to a very cheap budget so they get max profite. China tools can be just as good a quality but they cost a fraction of the big brands.

Hilti is a hire company now thats it. You dont buy a Hilti. You pay a monthly fee to have the tool in your inventory and whenever it breaks or needs repairs they just collect the old one and drop off a new one. We are a large-ish general contractor and we have a Hilti tool fleet that's the only way to go with Hilti, nobody here actually buys Hilti anymore. For us it makes sense this way since their service package is great, we get a tool replaced within a day, repaired within a week and just pay a set bill on a month to month basis. We could probably buy Bosch and Makita and save some money that way but the bossman wants the excellent service Hilti provides.
What's the white grease you use Dean? We use a lot of the oregon red liquid grease but it's not available in 1l tubs anymore, so I wondered if that stuff would work as it looks fairly thin.
None of us here commenting are in the market anyways, i would guess - the market being fleet agreements with big companies where you buy plus 500 hammers, 250 guns and 150k fastners at a time. Then it makes perfect sense to have a kill switch build in to ensure proper, timely maintenance. You just dump it at the designated spot,, pick up a another, and the account manager with Hilti makes sure theres always working tools at the site. Its not about good or bad tools, its about running huge construction businesses efficiently and without people burning wages while dicking around missing equipment or consumables.
@@gplusgplus2286 Even as an Austrian Hilti stands for crazy, expensive prices. Amazing tools but the prices make you cry.

300, I didn't actually know how much they charge. I assumed it would be around 30 or 40 euro. 300 is crazy. It takes 5 seconds to reset the service light with the hilti tool.

Yeah, I don't think I'd like the idea of being held hostage by a computer chip that HAS to be reset by the manufacturer!!! It doesn't matter how awesome a machine is, if it can only be turned back on again by the manufacturer they can charge whatever they want or you can't have your tool working again. I thought there was a law against that ....... competition commission or something. i.e. how can you have a fair price if it can only be done by one company? 🤔
Dean, please please pelase stop pampering to the Americans with things like C-Clip when it's a circlip and snug for hand tight. Yes, I know they call them snap rings but C-Clip is just as bad
It's all about scaming more money out you guys so any company that does this like hilti then you guys that use those tools just black list those companies there scaming hard working people
