  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 พ.ย. 2024
  • I been using this expensive Hilti and wanted to see how the build quality stacks up to Makita, Dewalt, Milwaukee grinders. Surprisingly it IS brushless and the drive mechanism is nothing like we've seen before. It's got a brushless motor and a chinsy little coupling arrangement.

    I work for these guys. The detached pinion is indeed a design choice. One of the big selling points of these grinders is the "active torque control", basically a safety feature that shuts it off should it bind on something. They work for a bit after they do bind but the thing eventually strips.

    We went through two Milwaukee cordless grinders 4 1/2 inch in one year. Used them every day at full capacity ( misc metals trade). Bearing went on one and the other seized solid. We then bought the Hilti grinder same capacity and it's going on nearly three years now and we beat it up every day as well.

Even some of the nicest battery powered ones only give maybe an hour of hard work, but an hour of hard work on an angle grinder is a LOT of work.

      When I checked the tags, it was in the system over 2 years. She comes out with all 3 batteries, puts them all into the tools and they fire right up. All the batteries held a charge over 2 years.
      I bought them a year maybe 18 months ago and over that timespan, have charged all 3 batteries each only one time.
      They were used pretty hard but they're fine, mostly cosmetic wear on it. I use the angle grinder pretty regularly for light stuff but have never fed it anything to get it hot.
      I've ran the hammer drill in some concrete once with the wrong bit and it was fine even though it got warm enough to the point of being concerned so we just let it cool off. I think that was the one battery drainer.

    7:20 Im pretty sure they have a fairly tight interference fit to secure that bearing. I also wouldn't be surprised if they put some sleeve locking compound on it. I took apart a small Eaton roots style blower for a rebuild that used that style of roller bearing to support the scroll shafts and even with the correct tool I could not extract them for the life of me.

    The timing will be fine, to reverse a 3-phase motor, you must swap any two wires, when you do a 120 or 240 degree rotation you are effectively doing 2 or 4 swaps, which will cancel out, and result in the motor going the same direction anyway (any even number of swaps will cancel out).

  • @fetalmistake5624

    I am a Metalworker and i used this grinder for a few years now and nothing broke so far. I think that weak point will actually not break because the thing is engineerded to stall farily easily. But since you are advised to not push to hard when cutting and grinding it actually teaches you quite a bit on how to grind properly and when to replace your grinding disc. Also I cut out a whole manhole cover once with this grinder and it managed it pretty easily if you dont push until it stalls too many times... only used up 2 batteries and 3 cutting discs. And it can get very hot if you just keep riding it hard.

    Hay Ave. I could put that tool though he'll and back for you. I work in heavy industry at a maching shop thats over 110 + years old that does all the repairs for all of the coal mines in the northern part of the States. We even do repair field jobs for over 6 large coal mines in Canada. We got guys that weld the heavy chain links that connects the big coal buckets on the dragline. Repairing where they wear. We go throw grinders like there is no tomorrow. We now are testing some of the newer brushless 110ac drills that are out there. I've seen guys push grinders so hard that there is more smoke coming out of the grinder than the smoke that comes off from stick welding. We got big welders pushing 1300 Amps burning 1/8wire putting on 1000's of pounds of steel on sheaves for the dragline. Its pretty impressive. Be glad to put some work that there tool of yours.

      billy morrish I used to do drainage and drain tile and used cordless grinders to cut pipe and hack cement foundations so the jackhammer can get bite at 90 degrees. I guarantee that is by far the worst abuse one of these things can take. My tool of choice used to be Makita 5” angle grinders and I would burn through three or four tools per year. I switched to Milwaukee and it took me two years to kill my first. These Hilti grinders didn’t exist at the time so I couldn’t say if this pig would last. (Mud, water, concrete dust and PVC shards are brutal, although metal dust is also savage.)

    I never thought I'd pay a subscription to a tool company, but believe me that hilti care or whatever its called where you live, where there's a monthly charge for it, is the absolute dogs balls. Often if we need a big tool just for 5 mins for a quick job we ask for a 'demo', and they quite happily bring a unit out knowing that you're just saving a hire fee, because it leads to warm fuzzy feelings and more tool and battery purchases ;) that even goes as far as a massive dd-350 coring setup, something that costs hundreds to hire or requires seperate contractors

    That partial battery engagement is an incredible idea if you have to fly with tools. Airlines do not let you fly with "SPARE" batteries. They will confiscate them from your checked baggage. If you want them to go with your checked bag, you have to keep the batteries IN THE TOOLS. So now, you have the same battery as before, but now you also have the possibility of the trigger on your tool getting pushed, possibly damaging your luggage or the tool itself. The alternative is to take your batteries and put them in your carry on, which for me is nothing more than a backpack for my laptop (Very little extra room). You also now have TSA questioning you as to why you have a pile of lithium batteries in your carry on.
    I've gotten to the point I will sometimes ship my batteries ahead of me to avoid this hassle. Well done Hilti for solving this. Great idea.
