Nah that's not the warranty .... that's the length of time they'll supply spares for .... after that .... you am ****ed

Best drill they ever made - IMHDO - TE17 .... got mine sat in its box, in need of new brushes .. looks as good as new un-usable

That's just sad bit wierd too.. I dont think they make much selling the drill itself.. aftermarket is what brings the money..

Makita are brilliant for spares as are Hitachi and Dewalt

It's the fact that they (Hilti) make the choice to withdraw support for equipment, that is well enough made, to far outlast their support program

That is outright a shitty practice.. and i dont even understand why
Guess Hiltis needs to be abused to death in 10 year intervals then I know we do..

That they do some of my colleagues has a tendency to run things over tho. Solves many a problem

[Mattir]

I guess the Hilti product developers have seen enough abuse to design for use and not only for brochures.

There was a reference to brushes on the first page, so I thought you guys may find my local 'brushes shop' amusing.
All the brushes on the left, right and rear have copper braid molded into them while foreground are solid blanks.
The shinny parts dead center are mechanical pump seals.



Oh ... having trouble attaching a jpg
