One of the very first power tools I bought was a hilti te5 drill almost 20 years ago. To this day it still gets used never missed a beat. When I first got hilti it was expensive for the time made in Germany or lecinstien now the stuff made in China isn't the same I feel. I had an 65mm circular saw which was quite good for site work but had to go in usually every 2 years to get the shaft rebuilt eventually it was uneconomical to repair so I bought a new one and was just disappointed in complete step backwards I had a single rail and could use it any angel and not cut the rail. Went to use it on the new saw at a beval and rail get cut into so a big step backwards. So got rid of it. Then discovered mafell and haven't looked back

Hilti without a shred of doubt make the very best SDS & Max hammer bits. Their CX range of littluns has quad cutters, unlike the rest, even in sizes as small as 5mm (maybe even smaller), which makes them drill much, much faster. Used professionally, where time is money, they're probably about 50% faster than the rest. Their main downside (there's always summat: nothing's perfect) is a propensity to twist the cutter head off in these small diameters when you strike hard reo or aggregate off centre. I've never, ever actually worn a CX bit out. They break instead in the smaller sizes I use.
The bigger ones are much more robust, long lasting, accurate & jam-free. The same might also be said for their "Max" bits too. Don't know, it the similarity of head design aids that conclusion. Having said that the best from Bosch, Kango et al are pretty damn good too in the larger sizes. I suspect ther may be some form of technology sharing between manufacturers: generally Hawera for the Swiss-made bits.
Whatever. In smaller sizes, Hilti's quad cutter bits are simply superior. I guess in bigger sizes it tends to even out more.

anyone know how to connect the hilti barrel, which has a female thread about 1+1/4 to the cross pin adaptor that has a male 1/2 inch thread. Cant locate the correct hilti part
