HILTI TE30-C HAMMER DRILL

Hilti TE 30-C Hammer Drill: The Heavy-Duty Combihammer with Active Vibration Reduction

The Hilti TE 30-C Hammer Drill is a professional-grade, corded electric rotary hammer engineered for challenging drilling and chiseling applications in concrete, masonry, and natural stone. Combining impressive power with Hilti's cutting-edge Active Vibration Reduction (AVR) technology, the TE 30-C offers exceptional productivity and enhanced user comfort, making it a preferred choice for tradespeople tackling demanding tasks.

Features

• Three-Mode Versatility for Diverse Applications: The TE 30-C offers three distinct operating modes, making it an incredibly versatile tool:
  • Hammer Drilling: For rapid and efficient drilling of anchor holes and through-holes in concrete, masonry, and natural stone.
  • Rotary-Only Drilling: The hammering mechanism is disengaged for precise drilling in wood, metal, and plastics (requires an optional quick-release chuck adapter).
  • Chiseling: For light to medium chiseling, corrective work on concrete, removing render, or stripping wall tiles, offering strong breaking power in a compact package.
• High Impact Energy & Fast Drilling Speed: Delivers a powerful single impact energy of 3.6 Joules (J) (some sources cite 3.8 J). With a full hammering frequency of 4080 - 4500 impacts per minute (ipm) and a no-load rotation speed of up to 1100 RPM, the TE 30-C ensures fast drilling progress, particularly in its optimal range.
• Optimized Drilling Range: Ideal for hammer drilling diameters from 10 mm to 20 mm, with a maximum capacity of up to 28 mm in concrete and masonry. It can also handle percussion core bits up to 90mm.
• Active Vibration Reduction (AVR): A standout feature that significantly reduces tool vibration transmitted to the operator's hands. The TE 30-C boasts very low vibration levels (typically around 9.3 m/s² for hammer drilling), which drastically reduces operator fatigue and extends permissible working times, helping to mitigate the risk of Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS) and increase daily productivity.
• Robust 850W / 1010W Motor: Powered by a strong electric motor (specifications vary, commonly 850W or 1010W input power), designed for durability and consistent performance under heavy loads and continuous operation.
• SDS Plus (TE-C) Chuck System: Features the standard TE-C (SDS Plus) chuck, providing fast, tool-free bit changes and secure locking of hammer drill bits. The option of quick-change chucks further enhances versatility.
• Mechanical Torque-Limiting Clutch: A crucial safety feature that disengages the drive if the drill bit jams, protecting both the operator from sudden kickback and the tool's motor from overload damage.
• Ergonomic Design: With a D-handle design, perfect balance, low weight (approx. 4.2 kg), and compact build, the TE 30-C is designed for superior working comfort, even during demanding or overhead applications.
• Depth Gauge & Reverse Function: Includes a mechanical depth gauge for precise drilling depth control, and a reverse function useful for removing stuck drill bits or driving/removing screws (with appropriate accessories).
• Optional Dust Removal System (DRS): Compatible with Hilti's TE DRS-D dust removal system. When connected to a suitable Hilti vacuum cleaner, this system enables virtually dust-free drilling, significantly improving job site air quality and compliance with health and safety regulations (e.g., OSHA 1926.1153 Table 1 compliant).

Applications

The Hilti TE 30-C Hammer Drill is an indispensable tool for a wide array of medium to heavy-duty applications:

• Heavy-Duty Concrete Drilling: Drilling anchor holes, through-holes, and rebar holes in concrete and masonry (diameter range 4-28 mm, optimal 10-20 mm).
• Corrective Chiseling: Light to medium chiseling tasks, such as removing render, making channel openings for pipes or conduits, and breaking out wall tiles from bathrooms and kitchens.
• Drilling in Wood and Metal: Using the optional quick-release chuck, it can drill holes in wood (up to 25mm) and metal (up to 13mm).
• Driving Anchor Screws: Efficiently driving anchor screws and concrete screw anchors.
• General Construction & Renovation: A versatile tool for various tasks in building construction, renovation, and interior finishing.
• Electrical & Mechanical Installations: Drilling for conduits, junction boxes, and pipework.
