for big ‘cordless’ gear like this they should use large battery packs on a short umbilical cable - should be cheaper and have far more capacity. You don’t need it to be totally ‘cordless’
Yes I understand it runs on two batteries. What I mean is that you don't need a second charger because you will not empty the two batteries in the saw before you can charge two spare batteries on one charger, you just have to switch to batteries that need charging. And yes the machine is expensive but so is petrol and I have to agree with Roger that a two stroke engine takes a whole lot more maintenance than electric. And new lungs are also not cheap, when you have to do a renovation and need use petrol in a closed space petrol is terrible. At the company I work we work with Hilti and Hilti is not the greatest. Their cordless circle saw suck big time and they don't even have a planer and multitool which is annoying but overal the rest of the tools a pretty good and I never worked with a brand whose batteries last forever until they're dead. This concrete saw still needs to prove itself but so does the 40 volt range Makita
I dont know really.I fail to believe these are a subsitute for any two stroke because the power must drop off as the batterys drain and you hope the others have charged up.I can see the advantage for small chainsaws because you havnt got to pull them to start up a tree which is brilliant.Also that concrete slab you were cutting still looked very fresh and not 50 years old and hard as granite?I am not sold overall from experience of cutting concrete.Also the blade width being so thin is going to deflect against a piece of stone aggregate in concrete and shatter never mind re bar you didnt expect?Just my primeval knuckel dragging opinion.
It takes two batteries, keep another two on charge. How much will four 24v batteries cost? My Makita drill batteries are £50 each si they'll be silly money.
Yes very good but I’m from polsky land I can’t afford £15,000 pounds !! English worker scratch balls drink tea, i do for half priced with hammer and chisel
One cursory look at the Trustpilot reviews of this company tell me all I need to know. Shame really because like you say they did have a great reputation.

You can also get a vacuum adapter for places you can't use water. A vacuum is not as good as water but still better than nothing
I am impressed by the power!

Let’s hope the neuron batteries aren’t as bad as the standard HILTI batteries. Most of my new HILTI tool’s broke within days of buying them.
The batteries for this one to run it as he said are £250 each. You will also need two chargers as they don't sell a double.
They charge quicker than you'll empty it so one will be enough just have to switch turns ;)

2 batteries and a charger £1700 = divorce
@@rz3877 you cannot run it on just one battery, it needs the two

How many petrol driven machines could you buy for the cost of that Rog?
Bought two hilti anglegrinders,swithes started to go wrong..also disc clamp nuts badly sized.
can you do a video on comparison between say the makita 40V concrete saw and ths hilti
I wouldn't mind seeing that. I wonder if tools & stuff has already done it.
Has anyone got plans to buy this after watching...?.1700💰 + vat...u having a laugh Roger 😂😂😂

My account says ....... Saw, Charger, x4 Batteries 2307.00 plus the dreaded!!! 🤪
The batteries needed to run that thing with any great efficiency are £250 each you will also need two chargers as they don't do a double🔋
How Hilti made something like this and how did you find that??!!
How much is the blade we ask?
3:48 that's what she said
Not even I picked up on that.. well done sir.👏

Over priced chinese made... Hilti name isn't what it used to be. Paying for their historic reputation only
Made in Poland if memory serves me right.

Literally pointless is skill builder just an advertising channel now pushing battery powered nonsense
Check out our last hundred videos and tell us we are just an advertising channel. Our ratio of paid content is very low.

Not sure it competes with a 300 dollar holzforma stihl clone in terms of price.
