BOLTR: Hilti Hammer Drill Part B
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 มิ.ย. 2015
- Bored of Lame Tool Reviews? In this nerdly-teardown, we'll review the electrical components of Hilti's TE-6 Cordless 36V li-ion rotary hammer. We'll share a few laughs and then attempt to re-assemble and test. The usual fuckery ensues. If it all works out; we'll determine if the high price and good reputation of the Hilti Brand is well earned.
Part A of Hilti BOLTR: • BOLTR: Does HILTI hold...
Stefan Gotteswinter makes cool stuff! • Making a set of chuck ...
We all know these vids run on love, but my good looks don't buy near as much HPHT as they used to. If you enjoy the vid and want to help, please consider tossing a few bucks into the hat!

Errata: Kip is 1000 lbs not psi. (Woopsie, gave the metric fanboys more ammo). Thanks Grady!
Switch is not a simple on/off, so likely doesn't have to be as chunky. Thanks Mike! - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
"...put a hundred people in the room, there's got to be at least twenty of them are those that are total...fucking idiots,"
Hahahahahaha!!!
I must have a higher standard, I would have guessed closer to 45...
+badlandskid More, when you want them to understand you... (I opt for 85)
+irritablearchitect I'd be willing to bet it's more like 2 out of 10. Twenty out of a hundred seems a bit too high.
+Dave M hahaha.
+irritablearchitect round here you could at least double that.
I learned absolutely nothing I can use elsewhere in my world. But I was thoroughly entertained.
Speaking as a lad in my early 30s, the advice that AvE gives at around the 18:00 mark is one of those things that is so incredibly true that many young people, probably including myself as a young person, just wouldn't believe. Young-me would've presumed it is more complicated than this, and anyone who says this sort of thing to me is doing the whole Mr. Rogers 'you are special' thing (no disrespect to Mr. R intended). But with experience, I've found it's sublimely wise and very accurate. It doesn't matter what you study, or what you've done so far. If you repeatedly show sufficient zeal, someone will give you a shot. And if you take the opportunity to demonstrate that you can either make or save your overlords some very real money, greater than your income, and if you keep at that model, you get to write your own ticket. The only minor trick on top of all that is that sometimes you need to learn to advocate for yourself, and show the right people why you really are such an asset.
That or you can just become TH-cam famous. I'm pretty sure that's super-easy.
20 out of 100. So true. Think of who you are sharing the road with while driving. Scary.
As you like Hilti, you might like a little tale of a Hilti rep who was out late one night in his rep-mobile when he ran into a deer. Being a kind and considerate type he stopped to check the animal and found it badly injured, and as I said he was a kind sort, so he wanted to despatch the creature humanely. Being a rep he had his nail gun in the car and thinking it would work just fine as a vet's bolt gun, he fired a nail into the poor creatures skull. Naturally it killed the deer but it also nailed the head to the road! Probably apocryphal, but i still smile at the story, but then I'm known to be a bit weird.
Chris Stephens My old boss had a favourite pre-mobile-era story about coming across two young ladies who had hit a wombat with their car, they were hysterical and sobbing, turns out they wanted to put the poor creature out of its misery and had been trying to dispatch it with a jack handle to the noggin for half an hour. It took so long they had to take turns and then have a rest. He got them on their way, determined that there wasn't anything substantially wrong with the wombat (these stupid animals may as well be 90% bone) and has been telling the story for 25 years.
I want so badly for this story to be true...
if you put something back together and you see extra screws laying around that just means you made it better then the factory guys lol
You just remindet me that the laptop im writing this with is missing 2 screws.
I had a helper once who had a few screws loose.
Goes faster too.
LOL!!!
Doesnt help when my co-workers will chuck an extra bolt or two on my bench when I'm on smoko
I used exactly that model on a daily basis for ~2 years, this and all other Hilti machines that I used and heard of (Vaccum Cleaner, drills, saws, etc) are the de-facto standard for performance, reliability and serviceability. You have a 30 year old Hilti SDS drill? You can even send them back to the factory for service and repair, and they behave like brandnew after that! Also their Drillbits and other stuff they have... You _can't_ get something better than Hilti.
Robin Cerny Amen to that. 15 years ago I bought my one and only Hilti. 10 year old, back then, TE 10 corded hammer drill. Still as good as new after 25 years of use and abuse.. Fukin' love it.
Thanks for the plug. I hope the little tip in the hat helps a bit, at least to get a sixpack Guiness ;)
I got a bit scarred when you hacksawed away on the batterie...
Keep your wig on the head!
If it has speed control on the switch, it acts as a soft-start so the switch isn't breaking high currents so doesn't need to be as chunky as if it was a simple on/off.
I was actually gonna mention this. Being a frequent user of this exact drill for years, I prefer this trigger. It gives me ultimate control over my speed. It doesn't grab anywhere. I can slide that baby exactly where I need it instantly.
***** Ultimately I prefer a trigger that starts with a soft slide and ends in a nice ka-chunk at 100% just to take a little load of my finger.
Dodobyer I agree, totally depends on the tool. saws, grinders, etc I prefer a good chachunk but with drills I like to have as much control as possible.
***** I know what you mean and I feel the same, but I'm afraid this could be seen as yet another symptom of (imaginary) "Old Man Bias"...
I totally lost it at the 20% TFI employment mark. Wife wanted to know if I was choking.
w0mbles oh was that suppose to be funny ?? well I guess the truth can be funny now and then
Actually, I agree..... we probably have 20% we are either too lazy to work, can’t read, can’t pass a drug test or you wouldn’t want because they are confused about which bathroom to use.
Probably my favourite sds cordless drill I've ever owned
I like your choice of “profanity”.
I haven't heard the term Chooche in decades.
Excellent Engineering observations!!!!
Love it. Really!
17:55 "attitude while you're working" "If you're the dude who gets it done" "there is so much opportunity"
"All these old fuckers retiring" Northern Ontario here, not a single person under the age of dead is retiring here >.
HolzMichel Oh, absolutely. I'm totally aware of that,t he problem is a lack of governmental support, and that's what's got me and basically everyone trying to get into the trades fucked, and it's causing a cascading effect, the old guys are getting plain and simply too old to work, but they can't be fired because of the unions, businesses are hurting, thus, they have to cut corners, since they have to cut corners, our infrastructure is failing, which is costing more in upkeep, depriving local governments of funds required for growth, or even basic maintenance of other things like municipal roads.
New buildings aren't being built, old infrastructure is unable to support the people who require it, leading to worse living conditions, a disgruntled populace and more poverty, which in turn makes it harder for the old guys to retire. People are suing the city for damages caused by the failing infrastructure, further exacerbating the problem and driving the economy further and further down. Not only is it now spiraling, it's picking up the pace. As much as it sucks to say, the old guys need to be pushed out so some fresh meat can get back in and begin restoring things to working order. The government should offer support programs and increase spending in the public sector, because that's how you stimulate the fucking economy. Keep the old guys afloat on some sort of senior forced retirement benefit, I don't want to see them in the streets, nobody deserves that, but something has to change, they're suffering, causing everything else to suffer...
HolzMichel Oh, I know. I mean no disrespect to the elderly, it's just that they're physically incapable of doing certain things that they need to be doing in those jobs, they aren't well-suited to it. Honestly, it would be equally fine to move them into positions where their greater experience will make them more effective, and that is less physically demanding, allowing us young guys to come in and take care of the physical labor. Make more jobs that are more effective...
HolzMichel Nope, but where I live, they're all under the thumb of the unions, which are spectacularly shortsighted and make terrible decisions...
HolzMichel My area has a really bad attitude, and I live in Canada... The market around here is completely saturated, I live in a town of 50,000 and there are 9 or 10 metal shops, and similar numbers of other trade businesses, starting my own shop is a great way to burn money. Apprenticeships, official or unofficial are already entirely filled, because it's been a decade and less than 5% of the workforce has retired, we're piling up at the doors trying to get in. I just started a computer repair shop to get out of it altogether, and most of the people I went to college with are either homeless or working minimum wage somewhere outside of the trades...
I think a total of 6 out of my class of 40 actually got a job relevant to their field, and that's been the pattern across Northern Ontario. All the recruiters and teachers talk about how there's going to be a shortage of workers right around the corner, but it just never comes...
HolzMichel Yeah, short of strapping a backpack on and taking a walk, moving isn't an issue. No funds, no family to help with funds, friends are all in the same boat... Short of some random person approaching me on the street and handing out free money, I'm prettymuch stuck until I can grow my business enough to get out of this craphole... Basically, where I live, if you don't work in or with a mine, you have nothing, and you're stuck...
We use those push on electrical connections extensively in diesel-electric locomotives. They make up nearly 100% of all control wiring connections between the push-ons and their associated terminal boards. I had my reservations when I first started the job, but after being in the industry a few years now and seeing some of these choo choos come through that are older than I am with their original wiring still working, I gotta say that those connectors do their job.
I love watching these tool reviews. I learn so much new stuff everytime . Keep 'em coming.
saw untill you see the smoke and back a quarter stroke, lmfao
joe muncey haha, same as vicing the airgrinder vid. Turn until you hear it crack, then back up a quarter.
Worked as a scaffolder some yesrs ago, Hilti was the only machines that wouldn't die from making holes for the wall-fasteners...
An old boss wanted to save money, bought Bosch Pro's. All of them died the first day...
If I could afford it, all my tools would be Hilti!
Your knowledge of, well, EVERYTHING, amazes me. I aspire to be like you some day
dont understand a thing about the machines, but this is so fascinating, bingewatching your channel right now:D
and that intermission speech!
your intermissions remind me why I love working with metal and using my hands. 😉👍
"Leftover screws" - that was my nickname back in high school.
I'd like to see you do a BOLTR on one of those Dyson hand held vacuums. I can't stand that smug SOB in the commercials. Would love to see you tear em a new one.
lsdave Oh YES, I totally agree!! This would be awesome.
Yeah, throw in Kirby too.
+non yobussiness Kirby the Hilti of vacuums though not made by hilti.
@AvE, it's too soon to tell, but the advice given during the intermission may actually save my life. I'll check back in a year. Today is 9/4/20.
@@m4inline so far! Thanks for asking!
Surprise! That's the third set of brushes!
I still have the orignal te6a from 2005 .batteries recycled 3 times .
Fab drill .it did a lot of work .
Had 5 lads work for me .it was always the first to be pulled out of the van .
Even up untill 2015 i taught my name was can i borrow your hilti .
"What a Jackpot! Bootlegs and missed holes everywhere" u/g mining lingo I haven't heard in 10 years 🤣 reminds me of the good old days
Mister AvE, I just stumbled upon your channel and I congratulate you on your touch for presentation, your talent for comedy and your egoless share of craftmanship which makes me want to do my life over and actually learn the craft.
+1, well said
"I feel like a long tailed tomcat in a room fulla rockin chairs". After blowing beer through the nose laughing , I had to stop to write that down.
Love these vids. Just used a "proper" hammer drill for the first time and man what cool tool.
stream of consciousness, I like that in a teardown.
"Yeah its called conversation" - Norm
Ave,
Your broad perspective may be incomprehensible to some, but I assure you my polymath autodidactic comrade, your observations are not wasted!
My grandfather worked for NMB in Chatsworth California for many years and eventually retired from there in the early 90s. He used to take me there on Sundays when the whole place was shut down to do maintenance. I don't remember much about the company other then he said it was a very big company that build ball bearings for everything from skateboards to ship gyros. My grandfather was "THE" only guy that could fix and run every machine in the whole place and chose to stay in lead maintenance instead of going any higher in the company.
Great videos! I actually find myself learning something, whilst being entertained, as well. Old dogs can learn new tricks, I reckon.
Very entertaining and instructive as well, you are my technological hero!
3:40
"Plastics Expert"
or
"Plastic Sexpert"??
Yes Sir, love the work you choose and you will fly ahead of others who just grind the day away. It's more about attitude than schooling. Thanks for the GREAT channel eh. Ü
The goddam smartest shop teacher I ever had. Thanks. Much enjoyment is had from your analyses.
15 minutes before 20 minutes before coffee break. You must have "worked" in Greenland before. 3 o'clock coffee break starts at 15 to 20 minutes before 20 to 25 minutes before coffee break. Love it.
I love the "deep-six" barrel. Keep up the good work.
That’s ironic I live in Lincoln Nebraska. You mentioned us by mistake in this video. 👍🏻 Keep up the great videos! - John
You are informative and extremely funny. Thank you for the knowledge and entertainment.
every time i see these videos i think "BOLTR" is some brand name for the tool your going to review, maybe that should be your brand name if you sell high quality flash lights haha.
Rinoa Super-Genius
flash or flesh lights ? :p
*****
?
Rinoa Super-Genius
just google Fleshlight ;) You will thank me later...
*****
i know what that is, but what relevance does it have to this conversation?
Quote from what you said:"maybe that should be your brand name if you sell high quality flash lights haha."
And I added: "flash or fleshlights?".
As a joke.
It seems you are a bit slow.
You'd be great a great guy to do a apprenticeship with! We would have had a right laugh!
Love your vids, take care.

Hey! If those brushes were graphite I'll bet that black "filming" stuff was probably rich in GRAPHENE! Graphene LOVES filming on metal substrates!
My car gets forty rods to the hogshead and that's the way I likes it.
I have used Hilti and would love to get my hands on a rotary hammer and a good drill.
Love your witticisms. Is that the proper term? "Always time to do it right the second time."
28:25 raised pinkie. Such a class act!
3:56 The two faces on the red piece !
Pretty cool I've got the corded hilti rotary hammer I'd say it's at least 7 yrs old got it used and it still runs like a top
I really appreciate your reviews. anyone can go but a tool and tell you if it's gonna work for your application but you go deep into the materials and show the good and bad of every manufacturer with no bias bull shit like the other people on the internet.
The world is your oyster. I love it. I saw the world on the company dime. Work, get it done. don't be the squeaky wheel, enjoy the ride. Attitude is everything!!
Watching for a few hours and seen 30 new subs come in, nice.
I've got the same drill used daily but not as good as my corded TE15. TE15 is slower but bought in 1991. Love your videos. I'm the 200 lb gorilla behind the tool lol
Just a google look at NMB... Founded in Tokyo in 1951, NMB (Nippon Miniature Bearings) started with the development and manufacture of miniature ball bearings. Over the following years, the product range was continuously extended. In nine different countries, the concern now manufactures miniature ball bearings, ventilators and blowers (air-movers), computer keyboards, stepper and geared motors, hifi loudspeakers and disk drives and today is one of the biggest manufacturers of industrial components.
The manufacturing process known as the “vertical integration manufacturing system” has its essential feature in the fact that almost all individual parts for an NMB Minebea finished product are manufactured internally.
The manufacturing depth on the one hand, and on the other the development and construction of assembly lines, machines, tools and devices for manufacturing processes together guarantee an optimum standard of quality for all our products.
As a leading components manufacturer, today NMB Minebea is active globally - in Japan, Mexico, Brazil, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, the USA, China and in Europe.
The NMB Minebea ball bearings group offers technical support in Germany, in Langen (Hess) and Villingen. Thus the group is represented in Central Europe and in close proximity to its customers. There are further technology centres in England, Japan, Singapore, Thailand and the USA.
Yes Hilti = nice stuff. And Hilti should for the price. My el cheapo rotary hammer was $42 delivered to the front door(came with 3 bits too) and has drilled several hundred holes. I wouldn't use mine like the Hilti's from work though. Great video !
This is one of the funniest videos I have seen on TH-cam from anyone in quite a while.... Not sure what that says about you or me...
I could be wrong but I think that is a roto hammer. When I was an electrician I used both, hammer drills were a pain in the ass and roto hammers kicked ass, in any case thanks for the video!!
I second you on the statement you made on being " the dude who gets it done". my family is well fed and my employment is an adventure every frikin day. I've got certifications in nearly every weird and obscure portion of plumbing , all played for by my employers
side note to guys younger than myself, guys , on paper I'm a plumber. in practice ,I work on hydrogen , oxygen , nitrogen , vacuum , wag lines, fuel supply systems, back flow prevention, r.o. systems, steam systems, air systems.......
point is , its rare that I grab a plunger. it was up to me how my career was going to trudge forward.
When you say "just get out there" do you mean to go out and just start filling ut applications or is there something else I can do to help get a job in a maintenance mechanical field? I'm currently going to school for that but just curious if maybe there was something else that could help me land my dream job? Keep up the good work! I wonder when manufactures will stop cutting corners for fear of being exposed by AvE!?
I like that when you said you had verbal dyslexia that was good
Its a variable speed switch right? It will be just fine! I've used the same TE6 Hilti hammer for almost 10 years and have yet to break it. We only run corded models because those bats start to suck ass when shes 20 below outside.
2:25 ohhhh man here we go with the 606160 AL
I went go get more of the brake clean with the marble, so dad can start shaking the can... asked about muffler fluid was told its on back order because of mercury shortage.
I love when you speak deutsch!
You have a funny and lovely accent, greetings form Austria (Love your Technisches Museum Wien Video) :D
Son of a Diddley. Pretty full of the brain pixies of knowledge. Thanks. Like your videos. Learn a lot
I would like to see the internal difference between Bosch Professional and ordinary domestic bosch drills or hammer drills. I suspect it's mostly marketing but it would be really interesting to see the truth. The bosh professional tools used to be very popular here in sweden when there wasnt much choice other than hilti which isnt really a choice if your in the market for something the price of a bosch. When I was working in tool rentals we had Flex and Duss hammer drills and chisel hammers, I would look into those before buying hiltis. (Hiltis just get stolen and are heavy as lead and pig iron)
UL stands for Underwriters Laboratory. It's where they do run time testing and make sure the thing won't burn your house down.
Out of curiosity, did you notice any writing on those 26650 batteries? Did they happen to say Sony on them(or SE US26650)? Actually curious as you can sometimes buy replacement batteries for cheaper than the individual cost of the cells. Would have to look into it if those are green sony's.
That thing is built like a tank, it sure puts it into perspective vs your typical mass market stuff like DeWalt, etc. How long did it take to reassemble?
Considering those softer brushes, do you think it's possible the HILTI is designed with future serviceability as a real priority?
excuse my ignorance, but when comparing that nylon connecting rod to an aluminium or other metallic one, how does the surface hardness of its bushing surface compare to the metal ones?
As a joiner I can fully understand the giddiness shown when replacing the old blade in your exacto knife/stanley knife.
First video i saw out of curiousity, and i though the first 3 min (great! another pointless video with endless sarcasm), but i was amazed at the amount of knowledge i gained in a single video, pretty interesting channel and i love it ,,,the video btw is the dewalt grinder tearapart
i personally would love to see a DIY booster pack video.
Man 30 mins in, im dying lauging... Just woke up the fam at midnight, thanks bud...
Long tailed tomcat in a room full of rocking chairs
Love it
>kilo-inches
Yup, best channel on TH-cam.
i love these reviews :D
Ok so I'm new to the wide and vast world, but I have used hilti tools when I worked in the asbestos industry and for a floor scrapper you simply can not beat them. How ever when it comes to their use of metals in the scrapers it is interesting to me because after all it's only floor tile but yet we destroy blades like crazy. Why is that? And is there a way to prevent such thing from happing
"Dirty as an old muffler bearing." Haha. Love your show man. As an aspiring automotive apprentice, I really appreciate you taking the time to take stuff apart and learn us about it. Thanks for the pep talk intermission too.
PS: Why all the hate for Metric??
Was told years ago from a talented mechanic that screws or others parts left over are PLO'S. Yep parts left over. Great vid
Not sure if anyone has pointed this out, but the CE-logo stands for "Conformité Européenne" and nothing else. See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CE_marking. On many things you buy on aliexpress et al, they put a _very_ similar logo that may or may not mean "China Export" or something. The Chinese version usually has the letters much closer together...
Hey! Not sure if this has been pointed out, but the audio on this vijayo has, on my laptop(Mac, 2019 which I use for audio recording) has a strange, minute oscillation. Probably not enough for many folks to notice, but since I listen many times while working on stuff, and only look up (too much) when I need the visual, I thought you were getting choked up about something (you know how your voice wiggles when too much emotion takes control) but just barely.
Damn, that looked like a granite/quartz rock too, super hard.
I was born in and later on lived in the Uniontown, Pennsylvania. That's where George C. Marshall, who the "Marshall Plan" was named after, was from.
Nice one of a kind cheese in a slice ending
+AvE what the heck is the cost in Canada pesos for a new battery pack on that bad ass drill? I'm guessing $300-400
Nice vid, thanks. You know these days there are all sorts of carbons out there - some from the refinery coker drums. I'm told that the "needle carbon" grade is the most sought after grade and that the other stuff is amorphous and not valued for electron flow purposes. I wonder if the resistance per length is the same across versus longways - that could be a way to differentiate carbons (the crystalline stuff would have lower ohms/cm along the axis of the carbon crystal) The cheaper stuff would be same in both directions (no crystal orientation) Just at thought, something check-able with an ohm meter - keep a chooching.
***** Just wondering out loud - I "know" some things about lots of raw materials - your vids teach me where this stuff ends up and why.
In my experience with crimps there are two competing factors. Firstly if done correctly a crimp onto stranded wire will produce a good compression weld without stressing the wire if the crimpers are set up correctly and the metal fatigue factor is way less than in a soldered joint. However if you over compress this induces stress in the wire before any movement and will make the wire break way more quickly. That's why aerospace/defense companies calibrate the crimpers monthly or the ones I have worked for have.
I like the Hilti hammer drills better than Makita right up until I need a warranty problem fixed. Usually I never had/have any issues with Hilti tools crapping out early, but times change and I finally had to try to get a Hilti or two replaced. The Makita stuff takes a dump far more often but I can get them replaced pretty easily. The BJTs are to float charge & essentially match the charging rate and amount to each battery. It's kind of like charging a bank of lead acid batteries on a sail boat, only the charger can't cost $1000.
UL stands for Underwriters Laboratory. It's where they do tests to make sure the thing won't burn down your house.
nice one ! what about looking into a Festool or Mafell ? I am too precious about them to do it myself ! :)
Been watching the videos for a long time, but am still a relative new guy to the world of power tools and electrical engineering. What exactly do the brushes do? Do they contact those commutator bars? Do they create opposing magnetic fields, creating a weak spin by "pressing" against the commutator bars in opposite directions, making it easier to avoid a heavy in-rush current, as the motor will need to apply less torque to an already-spinning (even if weakly spinning) shaft versus having to begin the spin from a dead stop in the initial spin-up? Or do the brushes just apply electricity to the armature via contact with the commutator bars?
Thanks! =)
The brushes are just an easy way to pass current threw the commutator bars. Since the motor is spinning, you cant fix the connections to the motor..
nice that you enjoyed our country and our coins aswell, cheers from switzerland
You took the dilithium crystals out of the containment field....
dang you. I just got that song tang by bob and tom out of my head last week and now I am singing it in my head. lol. it's a funny song if you never heard it. I do enjoy your videos. :)
Don't worry about wearing out your sponge, it's the thermal shock on your soldering iron tip that you need to worry about, that's why people use wire wool to clean the tip - makes the tips last a lot longer
My sds has a grease cavity. I shoot it with 50 strokes from a grease gun and after an hour of drilling, the cavity is empty. Where does it go and how come I don't see new drills with cavities?
