This Hilti Demo Hammer Is Ridiculous 

Hilti tools are probably the best on the market. Only trouble is they are expensive. I bought a Hilti TE10 drill in 1987 and still have it today, good as new.

It never ceases to amaze me where you can find pipes and cables. You can take all the precautions you want but sometimes your number just comes up.

If anyone asks that chisel shaped hole was there before you started.

Most builders I know are half a job Harry's - they NEVER clean up after themselves. No wonder customers come to hate them. You are like a breath of fresh air. You do a job properly, wear the PPE, dust extraction and clean up. Perfection.

Nobody: My neighbors at 6AM: Hilti Te 744

I work at a foundation and structural repair company and when we're pressuring grouting under a slab we almost always avoid bathrooms to avoid pipes as much as possible. We use a bosch rotary hammer for demo and for drilling through slabs. Works great.

I'm biased as I work for Hilti in GB - glad you enjoyed it! To be fair, this tool is overkill for the job. The TE 800 was designed and primarily used for removing the top half of pile foundations to add more rebar and extend. You would have been better with something a bit lighter such as the TE500

Scott is back! You and Lo-Fi beats have been sadly missed - Great to see you. Feels like it brings the easing of our lockdown closer. Good job.

Had me laughing this Scott, simply because of how chilled you were about the pipe 😂 I enjoy watching your video for 2 reasons 1 because it's like being on site with one of the lads & 2 I always learn something. Cheers from the uk 🍻

love your videos, the are Just chill and your inproving things every time and i think that is satisfying af. also the fact you do those kind of cinematic shots is really dope dude hahahaha

Another great video looks like a nice little project to be working on at the moment with level 3 restrictions, saw you driving the other day on Remuera road you waved back to me, I knew I would bump into you one day! Thanks Scott Brown Carpentry!

i like your spray bucket technique! Will be adding that to my list of things. I've used just a hole in a water bottle on basement floors to sweep up before. That worked wonders!

You have brought a bazooka to a water pistol fight there mate.

Kiwi living in Denmark! Loving the videos, I've watched them all during quarantine, and love the fact your using a hilti tool I use them every day at my job here and I swear by them!

Well done Scott, you handled that emergency well, nothing worse than hitting a pipe or a wire ,in fairness to you it was in a very bad location youd never expect a pipe to be there. Great video thanks

Great to see you back on working. Greetings from Estonia 🤘🤘🤘🤘

When renovating my own house I hit an unexpected waterpipe too. To make it worse I hit it right at a 45° bend, which made fixing it more complicated. Pretty cool that the plummer could come by so quickly. Like the Hilti!

Hi Scott. Thanks for sharing. I once did a laundry room remodel. Where after we'd put up the gyprock, the client asked for one more outlet to be added into where a future cupboard would be. I believe we had to make 3-4 of 5" cupsaw holes to drag the wire (as it went around an inside corner). Never had i seen a wall section more loaded with plumbing and electrical. Two main drain stacks, with offshoot, and multiple hot and cold supplies right (2mm) behind the gyp. Every time i cut a hole, i narrowly missed something. While fixing the patching pieces for the holes i made an inexperienced decision and decided to fix plywood strips across the holes to secure my patches. It gives a more solid job bit given the busy state of what was behind, i should have opted for leaving the paper wide on the patching gyprock and sticking it with the mud. It was behind cabinets anyways. So, as im screwing on one of the plywood scabs, I felt a drain pipe right behind. I aim above to avoid it and set the screw. Screw goes into something but to my dismay it isn't the ply, it was a water line tucked right in behind the drain that i could feel because of that. I do know my own plumbing but it was still a pain because i had to undo a lot of drain pipe that was in proximity to do my sodder joint. It actually got worse after that. While doing that fix, we had to drain the lines. The Housekeeper reopened (because we'd shut then off after draining) a handheld shower fixture for the upstairs clawfoot tub, meaning to clean it and left it pointed towards the floor. She didn't realise it was on because the shutoff was still turned off. So when i put the water back on from the main shutoff in the basement i listened to it continue to run for a moment, and then beyond what it should have to fill any empty toilets. I shut it back off but the mess was already made. The previous installer had not closed the openings where the water lines passed through the tile floor for the clawfoot and all that water went into the newly finished kitchen below. What a day I tell you! We kept our cool. Opened all the pot light holes and mopped that ceiling space with sponges like nobodies business! Saved the ceiling and ther kitchen. Set a fan and vacuum to move air through the space and had only minor plaster and paint repairs. That being said, you should roll with a push-to-fit shutoff valve in your case. Open the shutoff, jam it on the broken/ cut end of a pipe and then close the valve. It could be a real lifesaver.

Clever how you got some constant water flowing from that pipe to help control the dust. ;)

Informative SBC. The concrete cutter looks like a heavy beast!😎

Worked for a company that only used hilti tools (Unless it was a tool that hilti didn't have) and those things never broke down even when the guys gave them severe poundings and me dropping a battery that skid at full speed down a roof and flew into the railing on the scaffolding. Barely even had a dent. I didn't really think much of them as I was an apprentice when working with them but after having worked different tools like Makita and DeWalt afterwards, had I dropped one of their hard-shell batteries down that roof they would've cracked into a million pieces. I feel the Hilti, is an investment. It costs you an arm and a leg when first buying it but then it lasts for a lifetime. Even if buying it as a home-gamer, would be overkill but I feel like if I bought one for my home use It would probably outlive me.

That Hilti hammer is a beast. I rented one last year when my medium Makita wasn't cutting it on a basement job I was doing. Hilti made me look sideways at my trusty Makita hammer.

Hilti pricing is not that bad if you want a fleet of tools that are guaranteed to be serviced & maintained. Try arguing with any other tool manufacturer over the phone to get something fixed in a short turnaround time. The point is that it's expensive because you're not just buying a tool, you're buying into the fleet & asset management system as well. This ain't yer tool deals section at Home Depot LMAO.

He didn't really use the Hilti, the concrete just jumped out of fear that might really use it.

I'm a flooring installer and I use those flexible buckets to they are awesome, specially for mixing our floor repair or leveling compounds.

I was on a viaduct job once and we bought in a bunch of TE-6a’s. somebody dropped one about 30-40 metres into a river at the bottom and it was in there a couple of days until the river went down enough to go and fish it out. Took the case off banged all the grit out, left it on a radiator overnight and it fired up no problem with a fresh battery. Awesome tools.

Hilti is tops for masonry buildings. I've cut grooves on old brickwork for new cables with one of them. Pure joy.

Love your videos so much Scott! Much love from Melbourne 🇦🇺🇦🇺 

I was just going to suggest that you learn to do emergency plumbing repairs, but then you said it yourself. Lol, you're awesome man.

Nice to see you back at work Scott.

Man, your really treating us well this week👍

As a homeowner, I've actually found that my 26 lb demo hammer (roughly equivalent to this one) has proven to be one of the more useful tools in my garage. I live in a place where the soil is pretty dense hardpan clay, so using my hammer with a space bit just makes digging super easy. I also had to remove half my concrete driveway, which was pretty thick and reinforced, and found that my little demo hammer did nearly as good a job as the jackhammer I rented, and with way less fatigue (26 lbs < 70 lbs, who knew). While some jobs can be handled with a variety of tools, some more efficient than others, the kinds of things a demo hammer can do generally don't have great alternatives.

as a DIY'er I find the right tool really makes the job much easier....that being said I am forever buying hand tools for "one off" jobs...

Man, i should learn how to keep calm like you. Because once I do a mistake during work i just freaks out.

Love this guys videos. Hes honest and true and love the way he keeps his mistakes in, we ALL make them

I love Hilti products! All the best from Norway :-)

Great video.... love sitting here in America and watching tips and tricks from New Zealand....

Good to see someone using a rotary hammer the way it's meant to be used. See lots of people on the internet reefing on it and even putting full body weight on it when chopping up a floor like you do here. For anyone that doesn't know: you want the weight of the hammer itself to smack against the chisel. When you put your weight onto it it essentially divides the power between hammering the floor and hammering you.

Hilti is the real deal! And if you're a pro... The service is great. At least it is here in NL. If you need them they will be there the same day mostly 😬

I've got the Makita one which is a 20lb impact VS the 15.5lb impact on the hilti. IT'S A LIFE SAVER. I demo'd an ensuite bathroom that had 2 inches of concrete behind floor to ceiling tile, on every wall and floor, plus 5 inch thick concrete shower pan. There was nearly 4000lbs of concrete and tile removed. I wouldnt have been able to do it without that tool!

Aye, always something happens eh? Sods law, expect the unexpected, and aye, learn some plumbing skills Scotty boy! Lovin' the vids, I've learnt loads fella, thank you from Scotland!

On the odd occasion where major concrete demolition is required I have hired jackhammers to do the job. Some time ago ALDI had a big jackhammer for $200. I picked one up just to have one at the ready. I am amazed at just how good it is for the price. If I was using one weekly I would get a quality brand, but for the couple of times a year I need it, the ALDI jackhammer is awesome.

Wait, the plumber came? Wow, this is diffrent from germany. "Imma come somewhere inbetween 5 am and 11 pm"

The smaller Hilti Rotary Hammer is amazing too. Way less heavy and perfect for jobs like this, as well as securing bottom plates to concrete.

Nice work Scott, keep it up! the Makita HR4013C 1100W 40mm SDS Max Rotary Hammer Is really good for light work. I was using there 16-40kg Hilti Jack hammer the other day it's a beast Went through the concrete like butter, will do Upto 300 mm thick concrete.

Now that was an exciting episode!

Ridiculous how that concrete pad just lifted like that - spent a week breaking up a concrete carport pad with a sledgehammer and could have done with that Hilti breaker!

Hilti makes the best commercial tools hands down!!

Dude, you handled that so well.

That tool looks like a beast!

Your videos are relaxing to watch

Greetings from Lockdown Hemel Hempstead All the Best Scott

I use that set up with he Hepavac to do over headchipping on Columns and on the core. Love them they making strong I chip 8 hours almost everyday then I do patch work or pour concrete

The hilti wsc85 circular saw is a dream if you ever need the 85mm cut depth, and I have a TE52 HAMMER OF GOD drill and a DD100 corer that are both about as old as you and simply refuse to die 👀 they were old before I got them! I'll replace them one day, maybe when I replace all my teeth for falsers, but probably not before!

I spent the first 3 years of my apprenticeship behind a hilti breaker most days. over the duration of that time i got to use a wide variety of models from the TE-1 through to the TE-3000. After a while, the firm allowed me to hang onto my preferred tools, a 20 year old TE-706 and a rusty old barrel wet vac. The secret to these awesome tools is weekly maintenance and warming it up before use. I'll let it warm up for 15 mins before before use. Really miss using Hilti tools, the new firm i work for use makita, which makes me feel like im hitting my head against the wall every time i use them.

I was just gonna ask, "Hey Scott, why is the timber you use so damn pink? What the hell is that?" Then I Googled "pink timber" and found your video from 2018 which answered exactly that question. Hahahha. I love your videos man. Happy to see you back at work! I'm a carpenter in Singapore and our work is currently still totally stalled. :(

From a demo perspective (which this chippy works in), the TE800 is a brilliant tool, just saying...it fits in well for floor and wall demo, where the 1000 & 1500 are too cumbersome (especially for o'head work)...and the TE60 for wall tiles and the like. HILTI are on to a winner with the TE800 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 I'd consider one Scotty if I were you 😁😁😁

We use the bigger Hilti jackhammer at work and that things a beast, hits twice as hard as the makita and weighs so much less

I have a Hilti Te-17, it is older than I am and still works awesome but is heavy compared to the newer hammer drills. I wonder how that stacks up to my big Hitachi and Makita SDS-MAX. The best deal I have ever gotten was at a yardsale, Hilti 2x23 inch SDS-MAX hammer drill bit still sealed in the tube for $10!

Hilti is nice, but a nice air-powered hammer blows those things away. It's the same jump btwn residential to commercial as it is commercial to public works. Fire up the tow-behind compressor, grab a hammer and a hose and start blasting away. Used to set up venturi air blowers to push all the dust out.

I have the bosch gsh 11e, i have a older type it hits with 20 joule. They even have a newer one that hits with 23 joule. The Hilti you have there is fast pace pound, going off on the sound and what i see i think the 21 joule is lab based under perfect circumstances. The Bosch pounds in a different pace its slower, what a beast.

Used a hilti te 800 avr to make space for some heavy af copper pipes. The thing went through concrete, specifically 10cm thickness, like nothing. The only thing is that they gave it to us without the handle, so my forearms were tired af after the whole deal, so make sure they have the handle for it before doing any heavy work with it.

I'm kind of an old guy, @1:30 I just remembered the Val Kilmer scene at "Top Secret" movie....OH geezuz....

Worst feeling ever that. I keep finding them with the multi tool. Keep up the hard work man 👍🏻

Hey Scott, what‘s you camera and mic setup? Anything good you could recommend for filming in workshops?

Literally have no idea who I just watched!? No introduction!? This video has clearly been uploaded to the wrong channel!?

I always bring in my Atlas Copco diesel 160 c.f.m compressor then link to A.p.t, Atlas-Copco, Sandvik and Ingersoll Rand hammers from my library. Electric its Makita and Atlas-Copco and recently just got a Bosch.

HI Scott great to see you back up and running! Where is Paerau! :-)

Got to use one of these yesterday. It is ridiculous.

It would be nice to see how well the vacuum works on that Hilti We saw you working with the vacuum, too bad we didn't see a short example of working without it, just to show the difference.

I got a Bauer one from harbor freight with a coupon for 160 and it’s great! Took a three story high concrete chimney down with it. It’s an sds max

thats funny bro.i said yes to doing a bathroom reno and expected my little kanga to jackhammer up some old solid 80 - 100mm screed and realized we were going nowhere fast.i shot off to get a bigger weapon from Sydney tools.ended up purchasing the hikoki 1400 watt demo jackhammer and breezed through it.the downfall is i haven't had to use it for over a year.the thing cost $1200 bucks at the time but at least i have it aey daaahaha

Great tool. Use the 500 and 1500 and both are beasts for the relevant work. Wouldn't go back to air tools now!

My Team love Hilti here in London.

The best set up for any a great building team - Hilti lazer, concrete remset gun and a concrete breaker. What are your thoughts?

Shark Bite caps are great to have on hand to quickly cap a pipe without soldering.

I've broke out 100's of concrete floors in bathrooms doing walk in showers. Always Check where stop tap is, gas meter and consumer unit. I've hit a few pipes over the years. gas and water. Not so bad when you know where to isolate. I'm a plumber so could fix myself.definitely worth learning basic plumbing skills and electrical.

That Hilti IS A MONSTROUS BEAST💪🏼, dang, that looks like a fun tool to give a go at, lol. The whole time your using it, I’m saying to myself....don’t hit a pipe, be careful cuz you can go thru a pipe like butter, & not realize it 🤦🏼‍♂️ Glad you got a plumber out there quickly, that’s a miracle p, is what that was😉 Thx for the vids, always enjoy them. Only thing I don’t like about ‘crete work, is the dust & cleanup; running the tools is the fun part of concrete work😃 Cheers✌🏼

It’s helpful to see you make mistakes and handle them well.

Hi Scott, good to spray the water and use a vacuum! What camera do you use to take the movie and record the voice? Thanks

It is refreshing to see someone using quality tools, not milwauke or dewalt like everyone else.

When reframing a room is it easier to just cut the previous frames at the nails between seams or prying the nails apart with a crowbar?

Hook up the hilly shop vac a few inches from the blade of the jack hammer. We did that alot to help cut down on dust and clogging up our respirators.

Hilti is good but very expensive here in the UK. I know a lot of tradesmen that actually lease tools from them and pay a monthly fee which is pretty cool if your starting out and don't have tools. We have some hilti tools,in particular the old nail gun with the cartridges,bloody powerful thing. Has to be at least 20 years old and still works great

nice job on the music too :)

At least is was a little trickle. Had a main get puncture on a commercial building. That was awesome. Looked like a geyser.

I hit my first pipe year before last... under a wobbly floorboard where I screwed down into an end corner, thinking it would be fine because what kind of plumber puts pipes under the corners... well that was a day down the drain.

All this great tools you can use for our European houses. In the USA, with their cartboard houses, you could use "Parkside" from LIDL. They`d do that too!

I can feel that man, hate doing concrete with tools that aren't meant for it. So I'm an Electrician right? And I used a corded Bosch Hammer Drill to clear out five trenches to lay PVC. About a foot width and each one ran roughly 25ft. Tell you what, that Hilti would have made my days a lot better. Keep it up bro, enjoy your content. 🤙

Ah, taking out the concrete for a more "Open Concept" -Randy Marsh

Hey Bro! Just curious what camera & lens you use!

i bought an old primary school to convert to live in and had a lot of demo. to do so i bought two spare and repair hilti 706 breakers from e-bay, and i sent them to hilti for a service repair for £165.00 each they fixed them and i had a 6 month warranty 5 months later one started making funny noises sent it back, and one new motor later got it back no bill, that was 8 years ago and they're still going strong, hilti has a well earned reputation but like everything else the older models will last longer than their modern tools

Hilti great product.....your doing a baby job to what can it really do.

4:30 I use the same basket for my laundry 😁

This is the perfect job for an ozito rotary hammer drill, $150nzd, the right price point for something you don't use every day and they just keep going(great with a scoop attachment for chasing walls/floors). You'll still want to hire a full size kango for the big jobs.

I’m a remodeling contractor in the USA. All residential is what we do and we have 5 Bosch rotary hammers not including breakers. We use them all the time.

How do you know when to stop using the hammer drill to not get into the sub floor

My 18v stuff is Makita, all my 12v stuff is Hilti....love them both!

Finally he's got some HILTI gear 😍

What's up brotha love your videos I'm currently doing trim carpentry myself I also have framing experience. I really enjoy your videos! It would be awesome to go to new Zealand and work with you!?
