HILTI TE2 HAMMER DRILL

Hilti TE 2 Hammer Drill: Compact Power & Precision for Everyday Drilling

The Hilti TE 2 is a professional-grade, corded electric rotary hammer drill known for its excellent performance-to-weight ratio and user-friendly design. Engineered for reliability and efficiency, this SDS Plus (TE-C) combihammer provides two operating modes (hammer drilling and rotary-only drilling), making it a versatile tool for a broad spectrum of light to medium-duty drilling applications.

Features

• Dual-Mode Operation: The TE 2 offers two distinct modes, easily switchable via a selector:
  • Hammer Drilling: For efficient drilling into concrete, masonry, and natural stone, delivering powerful impacts to penetrate tough materials.
  • Rotary-Only Drilling: For precise drilling in wood, metal, plastics, and tile without hammering action, often using an optional quick-release chuck adapter for cylindrical shank drill bits.
• Optimal Hammer Drilling Range: Designed for an optimum hammer drilling range of 4 mm to 12 mm, with a maximum capacity of up to 22 mm in concrete and masonry. This makes it ideal for common anchor hole sizes and general penetrations.
• Impressive Single Impact Energy: Delivers a single impact energy of 1.8 Joules (J), providing sufficient power for rapid drilling progress in its intended applications.
• High Full Hammering Frequency: Boasts a full hammering frequency of 4600 impacts per minute (ipm), ensuring fast material removal.
• Sturdy 650W Motor: Equipped with a robust 650-watt motor with a high load rating, designed for maximum reliability and durability even under continuous use.
• Lightweight & Compact Design: Weighing approximately 2.7 kg (according to EPTA-Procedure 01/2003), the TE 2 is a lightweight tool that reduces user fatigue during extended periods of use, especially when working overhead or in awkward positions. Its slim handle further enhances ergonomics.
• SDS Plus (TE-C) Chuck System: Features the standard TE-C (SDS Plus) chuck, allowing for quick, tool-free bit changes and secure locking of hammer drill bits.
• Variable Speed Switch with Reverse Function: An electronic variable speed switch provides precise control over drilling speed, which is crucial for accurate hole starting and drilling into different materials. The reverse function is useful for removing stuck drill bits and for driving/removing screws (with an optional bit holder).
• 360° Adjustable Side Handle: The side handle can be easily adjusted 360 degrees, offering flexibility for user preference and enabling comfortable operation in tight spaces.
• Mechanical Torque-Limiting Clutch: Includes a safety clutch that disengages the drive if the drill bit jams, protecting both the operator from kickback and the tool from overload damage.
• Mechanical Depth Gauge: Comes with a mechanical depth gauge for consistent drilling depth, essential for anchor installations.

Applications

The Hilti TE 2 Hammer Drill is an indispensable tool for:

• Everyday Hammer Drilling: Creating anchor holes and through holes in concrete, masonry, and natural stone for a wide range of fixings.
• Electrical Installations: Drilling holes for conduit, junction boxes, and wiring in walls and ceilings.
• Plumbing Installations: Drilling small to medium-sized holes for pipes and fixings.
• Interior Finishing: Ideal for tasks like installing partition walls, suspended ceilings, and light fixtures.
• Metal Fabrication: Occasional drilling in solid metal (Ø 3-13 mm) and sheet metal (up to Ø 20 mm) using an optional chuck adapter.
• Woodworking: Drilling in wood and plastics using an optional chuck adapter (e.g., 4-20 mm dia. wood drill bits).
• Screw Driving: Driving screws using an optional bit holder.
