South hams hunter 8,923 Posted February 10, 2022 Report Share Posted February 10, 2022 Hilti power tools are good, was using the FILs kit the weekend while making a gate and seems very good. Most of his kit is dewalt 18 or 54v but he's slowly moving it to Hilti. Said the hilti skillsaw wasn't a patch on his dewalt 54 though so that went back Quote Link to post Share on other sites
