First of all big respect to you and Ray for doing this job in that fashion. It really looks like you either need tons of Batteries and chargers to get such heavy duty jobs done or go corded/ Fueled.

I think that job would have finished me off! The battery issue you guys had reminded me of my gripe with a certain Makita 36v lawnmower that I purchased. I spend more time charging than mowing and it's been in for repair 3 times under warranty so far as it kept overheating. Scott's comment about the early days of battery tools seems to apply here as well. In a few years I'm sure the battery powered mowers will be awesome!

I recently grabbed the cut off saw with 4 batteries and 2 chargers for a basement remodel. I cut about 60 linear feet with 4 fully charged batteries. It did the job and half the hassle.

@sematagi9291 Год назад

great episode, I find using the pointed chisel heads more effective when breaking up concrete, less resistance than the flat heads... mind you, its still hard work.

Drilling a hole and then using a flat head or pointed chisel works even better.

@timwillmot4941 Год назад

This is why I like the Hikoki system as if you are doing a big job like this you can plug your battery tools in with the AC adapter and use them all day but if your out on the farm or just need to do a small task you can just whip out a battery. You only need the one tool. also there is a 21 Amp battery back pack made for the garden equipment that is awesome for this kind of thing. or you can hook it over your dropwsaw stand and it will last you days. They do have a bigish breaker but no concrete saw yet. I'm keen to see the new tracksaw in action can you ask Gaston to get his hands on one from Accent and do a review?

@garethbarnes2628 Год назад

Well the concrete broke before you Guys did! Great job both. Hilti could do with adding a cord option to those tools, like Dewalt did with their 12" slider.

@gordonclark7632 Год назад

Well, the first thing i did was go outside and look everywhere for some tools and realized that I was the tool expecting to find some. Other than that, I think that this exciting episode showed that there is still plenty of things that a powered tool can do better. One thing that I thought of was the cost efficiency of using a battery powered tool for the job where the cost of all the batteries needed and then the cost of the charges and finally the cost of the electricity to charge them could exceed the cost of just using (or hiring) a specific tool from a hire depot?

@garycook9167 Год назад

Scott, there is a liquid you can buy and you mix it with water and pour it into drilled holes. You cap off the holes and the liquid expands, even cracking concrete. It's a start, at least!

As much as I like the idea of having me battery to suit all tools I think larger/high demand tools really need a specialised battery. You made the correct point of needing 4 chargers and 6 batteries to be able to run the tools constantly. It just seems that you need to spend as much on batteries and chargers as you do on the skin.

Great video Scott, I myself removed a set of stairs exactly the same as your ones using a similar method using a powered Hilti breaker and a petrol Stihl concrete saw and boy it was still hard work! After watching this I think if you had a powered breaker and a petrol concrete saw it would have made a huge difference but glad you showed a true representation of where the cordless tools are at right now and your right one day, they will improve to the point of being on par or better than the powered versions. But at the end of the day, I said the same thing too.. next time I'm getting a bloody digger!

@ImConstantlyDrunk Год назад

The batteries will take longer to go from 80-100 than they do 20-80, so the best practice is to keep them in the middle of their chemistry sweet spot by battery swapping to recharge up to that 80% again, and using them without fully charging.

@hw2508 Год назад

Its better to use them from 80% to 20% than from 100 to 0. Saves time at the charger and is better over the lifespan of the battery. However, I think most people always charge to 100% and run it as long as possible. And I would include myself in this group. It is not easy to change old habits.

@jonathonalsop2120 Год назад

Batteries should have a mode button to switch from 100%-0% and 80%-20% and default to the latter, while always leaving a buffer that can't be accessed. I'm sure many companies do have big buffers but it's not standardized.

@HotForgeChaos Год назад

Sometimes they want to be run right down though, I found my Milwaukee batteries are a bit happier once they've been run right down and charged right back up every now and then

@RFC3514 3 месяца назад

If this was sponsored by Hilti, I'm surprised they didn't send them the fastest charger (the C 8-22) instead of the middle one (the C 6-22).

@LazyCrazyGuy Год назад

Speaking on Milwaukee but I'm sure this applies to the majority of tools including Hilti. The Supercharger can charge a 12ah battery in about 60 min but if you read the manual you'll notice it says that when the green light goes steady it means it's charged at 80% and ready to use. If you understand fast chargers and lithium ion technology. You'll know that they prefer to stay charged between 40% and 70%. Keeping them within these parameters gives the battery it's full potential of lifespan. Now I know this isn't ideal and especially when you need to get work done but hear me out. Fast chargers usually charge from 1% to about 50% at the fast rate at which point it slows down to a normal rate. When the battery reaches about 80% - 90% it will slow down to a slow charge rate. Which means if you can just use a timer and set it up for half the time or less you have less down time as the second half of battery charge slows down significantly and that is where all the wasted time is. If I were you I would just charge to 70% - 80% and use it up instead of waiting for it to charge fully at the very slow rate and decreasing battery lifespan as it doesn't like being fully charged anyways.

Oh I agree Scott, its insane how much rubble comes out of a small set of stairs. I broke up a set of 2 landing stairs a third of the size of what you had which wasn't completely concrete filled and it still filled a 1.5x2.4 trailer and knocking on the limit of what my poor old suffering Hiace could tow. But those big high draw tools probably aren't at the stage where they can replace 240v or petrol just yet, maybe with the exception of Milwaukee MX Fuel but I haven't used those monstrosities yet. I would definitely have hired a big Makita-Dolmar petrol concrete chainsaw for that big of a full pour job, a 24 inch bar would have taken that cut nice and deep and then it would have been super easy to break it out with the Hilti breaker pick

@perrymaxwell4488 Год назад

As a person who has had to chip enormous quantities of concrete by handheld battery, air, and chorded tool, my advice would be to skip the cutting on the stairs. People also like to drill multiple swiss cheese holes with a rotary bit too. It's all taking away from your time to chip and doesn't offer a net gain in time. You have 3 open sides for the concrete to chip away from the original mass which is ideal. For the slab, I'm sure that concrete didn't like cracking when you slammed it with the sledge, so multiple scores were probably necessary to help it along. However in newer concrete, once you have a section (channel) removed end to end, cracking with the hammer is way faster than chipping or scoring when it's less than a 6" slab. Also, and I understand there are probably constraints as to what was available to you having borrowed that set up, but a chipping bit with more of a point and less of a chisel would increase your productivity due to less surface area being driven into the concrete. Especially against that old stuff I'm sure that bit was nubby by the end of that project. One upside to charging the batteries is that it gives the bit time to rest and not overheat and snap. Obviously more productive to have multiple bits to swap in and out like a SAW gunners barrel. I had a few endless days of using bushing bits to remove an epoxy coating form a concrete slab, and I would snap multiple bits a day. Luckily I wasn't paying for them😂

@christopherinteriors6521 Год назад

I do highly rate Hilti. Hilti and Mafell are in such another class though that even most Festool owners wouldn't buy them. They are far too specialist for most people. Personally I don't think certain tools need to be battery tools, especially those which are hooked up via a hose anyway for dust collection or water.

@Tyler1169 Год назад

always felt like the push from tool manufacturers to put their whole catalogue to cordless is more so they can market "largest battery platform on the market!!! we even made a cordless coffee mug check mate dewalt!" despite the practicality and how pointless having some of these tool on battery are. like look at the mafell jig saw, thing is the best jig saw you can get your hands on and is only corded.

@scottmenhennet9933 Год назад

Eventually small combustion engines will be banned for import and manufacture at least in Western countries trying to reach net zero emissions, so manufacturers know they have to go in this direction for situations where access to AC power isn't available. They've gotta start some time.. Milwaukee MX FUEL range 72v battery tools are probably much more up to this job, and Makita's 40vx2 demolition saw If the fastest production car in the world can be a Tesla battery powered sedan, then eventually they will get heavy duty portable tools right too. Other companies already do battery ride on mowers and electric tractors.

@RFC3514 3 месяца назад

They can, but for tools with a high power draw you need a pretty big adapter, that would make the tool significantly heavier. The alternative would be to have an _external_ power adapter (outputting 22 volts), but then you'd need a really beefy cord, because the current needs to go up (since it's only 22 volts instead of 230). Phones and cameras draw a very small fraction of the power that these tools do.

Those stairs were really well made, a bit of a shame getting rid of them.

I use to be a huge Hilti fan, I still use the TE6 -22 V everyday. Hilti gets 10/10 for their chisel designs, I can''t fault them. I still have one of their flat hand chiesels, which is also used on a dialy basis. the HIlti vacuum is stil lthe best for chasing. Cant say I would buy another Hilti product for 2 reason the rpices structure in our part of the world makes it out of reach for the little guy and secondly the fact that the tools only carry a 5 year warranty. I know you going to say its 20 years. Every single hilti product I own is no longer supported by Hilti. they dont even accept them for services and I have a bunch of Hilti products. It a good thing they use to make such a good quality product, I still own and use the old TE 55 ;) How many Te 55 do you still see on the job site.

I feel like 20+ AH batteries are gonna be way more common in a few years. 25min on that jackhammer isn't much.

@dhammer5645 Год назад

I rented a quick cut to cut 7 20"×20" holes in 6" thick concrete. The rental company gave me a cordless Hilti with 4 batteries. I had to wait to charge 2 more batteries to finish all the cuts. It's just not quite there for a lot of cutting, more for quick one-off jobs.

Bloody Jesus! Well done guys!

@coreyevans1979 Год назад

Yeah. That’s what I felt like 25 years ago with makita’s cabinet drill. The only right angle drill available, with nicad batteries. Those were the days of using a shiny silver plug in black and decker drill that would take your arm off if it got hung up. My dad still has one. You gotta be like ice cube and put your ass into it.

@RFC3514 3 месяца назад

That looked like a job for a diamond wire saw like the ones they use in quarries. Two cuts and you're (practically) done. Of course, then you have the problem of moving a massive block of concrete, but maybe you could use it as a pedestal for a statue.

@daylen577 Год назад

I'm all for cordless tools, but it seems to me like concrete hammers and saws aren't really the right target yet. Those are endurance tools that also still need a lot of power. If we ever get to the point where they can do maybe an hour on a charge that'd be great, until then I'd probably use a corded version instead

@scottmenhennet9933 Год назад

Milwaukee has MX Fuel 72v range and Makita does 80v tools, I have the makita 80v rotary hammer drill and although the concrete I was cutting wasn't anywhere as much as this, it was pretty capable to use as a jackhammer

@daylen577 Год назад

@@scottmenhennet9933 I never said they're not capable, it's just that the batteries don't last an entire day. Swapping batteries once or twice during the day would still be fine, but when you're doing an entire day of demo work you want your batteries to last at least as long as they need to charge back to full..

@sniperfi4532 Год назад

@@scottmenhennet9933yeah I think they’re better off having two seperate battery platforms rather than trying to use the same platform for everything. Dual battery systems are ok but you really need dual chargers and 4 batteries to really make it worth it.

@RFC3514 3 месяца назад

What would be the advantage of going for one hour on a charge? You'd just need heavier batteries (or more of them). Surely you can take a 10-second break every 25 minutes to swap the batteries. Of course, a corded tool would be even lighter, so it's still preferable whenever possible.

@brynyard Год назад

Ah, a "new" battery system, aka a new and unique way to package 18650 cells so that they can only be used on specific tools. Just what the world needed :P

@rhinocivilservices Год назад

Good idea to keep a lithex fire extinguisher nearby with that amount of high capacity batteries stored indoors.

@sparx2391 Год назад

When I was looking for an 18v sds, I looked at all the big brands, inc, milwaukee, makita, dewalt, hilti etc, but the most powerful one I could find was the Bosch bi turbo 18v sds plus, 5.8 joules, use with either an 8 or 12 Ah battery to get full power, brilliant bit of kit, if I ever need a heavy breaker, I just hire one, but I think in your case, I'd go for a digger and dumper. Hope ray will become a regular on the channel.

@antonyrigby7738 Год назад

Hi Scott. Love this series on your house renovations. I’m currently renovating our home at the minute and you’ve given me loads of tips to take away and put into practice. Could you recommend a good framing nail gun as Makita doesn’t seem to have one in their range of cordless tools unless of course, I've just not noticed lol. Many thank’s and a big shout out from Northern Ireland

@ippolitius Год назад

When taking up a concrete driveway or pathway that's not reinforced with wire or rebar I've made quick work with a floor jack and 5lb sledg. If you dig just enough so you get the jack under enough to give it a slight lift then hit concrete with the sledg and you get nice square pieces if you place the jack right.

@ArthurDentZaphodBeeb Год назад

Those steps were a perfect place for expanding demolition grout - just drill some slightly angled holes about every foot, mix up the expanding grout, load the holes. Come back in the morning and that concrete would have been cracked to bits.

@chrisg2779 Год назад

Having removed some concrete stairs from the 60s I felt the pain. Used a corded jackhammer. Man was that a lot of work. I have another set at the front of my house that I’ve been putting off for about 5 years now. Should prob hire a digger…
