Big hammer from Hilti

Hilti claims its new TE 40-AVR combi hammer is “the most powerful in the TE-C class with an extremely wide range of applications thanks to rapidly interchangeable chucks: TE-C Click chuck, 3-jaw key chuck and keyless quick-release-chuck.”

Further advantages, according to the Liechtenstein company, include 1000 W of power for drilling concrete, masonry and natural stone and active vibration reduction, making it less tiring to use. It also comes with Hilti's TPS electronic theft protection system.

In addition, Hilti has introduced its TE706-AVR breaker hammer for medium- to heavy-duty chiselling applications. It features a brushless motor, with no carbon brushes to change and therefore longer service intervals. The model, according to Hilti, is “the first medium-weight breaker with symmetrical design.”
