Hilti adds powerful, lightweight rotary hammer to its line

Hilti is expanding its SDS-max rotary hammer portfolio with the introduction of the Hilti TE 50-AVR SDS-max rotary hammer with chiseling. Designed to be powerful and lightweight, the Hilti TE 50-AVR delivers superior performance in multiple applications, including hammer drilling in concrete, masonry and stone. It can also make quick work of light- and medium-duty chiseling in masonry and concrete.

This new SDS-max rotary hammer features Active Vibration Reduction (AVR) that reduces vibrations by up to 2/3rd that of competitor models. This helps keep users comfortable and productive all day long. The TE 50-AVR also has a detachable cord, which helps to reduce cord damage and wear. This cord simply snaps out if too much tension is applied, and it can easily be reconnected for quick field replacement of damaged cords.

Weighing in at just 13.4 lb, the Hilti TE 50-AVR is the lightest SDS-max rotary hammer in Hilti's TE-Y class. While hammer drilling, the combihammer has an optimal hole diameter range of ½" up to 1-1/4" but can drill holes up to 1-9/16" in diameter. The TE 50-AVR can also handle percussion coring applications up to 3-1/4" diameter.

When the TE 50-AVR is outfitted with a Hilti TE-YD hollow drill bit and attached to the Hilti VC 20/40 vacuum, the user can virtually eliminate dust created during the drilling process and remove the need for subsequent hole cleaning when used with Hilti HIT-HY 200 or HIT-RE 500 V3 adhesive anchors. Without the Hilti SafeSet system, a vacuum with a HEPA filter would be required to collect airborne dust during hole cleaning in order to be compliant with Table 1 of the OSHA 1926.1153 silica standard. This Hilti SafeSet system (Hilti drill, hollow drill bit and Hilti vacuum) is Table 1 compliant with the OSHA 1926 standard.
