Hilti have open days on wed and thursday,I believe they are selling ex demo stuff first come first served according to their ad.

 

[rocker]

Where abouts?

 

[pennywise]

All Hilti centers according to this

Hilti Online - Hilti Centre Open Days

 

[rocker]

Hmmm very eeentaresting. Free bag over 300 bucks.

 

[pennywise]

personal favorite spend over £600 and get a £100 voucher thats only redeemable on the day

 

[UNG]

Have always thought Hilti products were over rated and over priced

 

[pennywise]

It's Bosch but red, with a much better warranty

 

[rocker]

It's Bosch but red

Surely that's not all there is to it??

Have only had the pleasure at ELEX show - lush stuff but a little pricey for my blood at the moment. Maybe in a yer or so (or on Wednesday if they're selling off ex display stuff)

 

[pennywise]

I would say all their cordless stuff is on par with the Bosch stuff probably made in the same factory , when it comes to diamond drilling and cutting it's a different kettle of fish. Their whole company ethos is based around customer service, a genuine no quibbles policy, which is indicated in the price. They are aiming at the larger industrial and commercial markets were money is no object and fast efficient service is key to less downtime on tools and labour. So for a small company it is alot of money as discounts are few and far between apart from at the ELEX show which had some blinding deals if you ask the right guy on the stand

its like SnapOn for constriction Untill some lightfingered sod decides it would look better in their van If its heavily discounted it would be a bargin n a nice Fathersday pressy from the kidz

 

[pennywise]

1-3 months old 5% discount 3-6 months 10% 6-12 and older 20% off. Hardly worth getting out of bed for well maybe I might sneak along

 

[pennywise]

Well I was very good and only came away with a drill bit, well maybe a pack of them

 

[Aza]

I wasnt so good!
Picked up a TE 7-A with two 3.9ah batteries for £396

 

[pennywise]

%$"£*&^!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:d:d:d

 

[Aza]

Ex demo tool, but pretty clean really, and of course you still get the 2 year warranty.
That was from the Medway branch.

Was going in for a TE 6 but the TE 7 was only £6 more

 

[pennywise]

Your arms might regret it amazing tool though

 

[Aza]

Yeah that was my main concern...but I thought if I dont go for it, I would only regret it later down the line

 

[pennywise]

True I wanted an ex demo SDS max today but they didn't have one

 

[Aza]

Did you ask them in the centre?
I think the drill I got was actually from another centre as they were messing around trying to their computer system to accept the sale. Maybe they have one around somewhere.

 

[pennywise]

Think they had one in glasgow but it was only a month old, not really worth it would only save 5% think I'll get a better deal at the ELEX show

 

[Aza]

Yeah may as well get a new one with that discount

 

[pennywise]

Did you get any SDS bits thrown in they really do make a big difference with vibration and speed, I didn't believe it at first.

 

[Aza]

Nah I just got some grease, and the free bag, its a giant of a thing!

I have a pack of bits that came with my TE 2-M, they do seem to work well, only used small ones so far though.

 

[pennywise]

The larger bits get a "bit" more pricey think they quoted me today £66 plus the vat for a 20mm 540mm bit. It is huge I've got the little TE-7C for doing all my chiseling so didn't need the extra clout It was more like a body bag than a tool bag

 

[mogga]

I want one of the shiney new Hilti demonstration transits and a bright red fleece thats where part of your £400 went lol
