The modernisation of houses and apartments often requires old plumbing and sanitary installations to be replaced completely, work that produces a lot of dust and puts high strain on muscles. All too often there is little space to work conveniently and additional effort is required to get the job done, particularly in less accessible corners. The Hilti TE 60 combi hammer is specially designed for use in the plumbing and heating systems installation trades. It has been ergonomically shaped so effectively and specifically for these trades that it is easy to handle without causing user fatigue. Its grip is positioned close to the tool’s point of balance and features an optimised cross section, a design that aims to ensure maximum working comfort. The combihammer is compact and rests well in the hand. In addition to its consistent as well as emotionally appealing language of form, the tool’s design concept also merges all important functions for this kind of work. Together with the chisel, the dust removal module and the vacuum cleaner, the combihammer forms a complete and well-thought-out system for use in the plumbing and heating systems installation trades. Additional safety is achieved by equipping the combihammer with an active torque control, an electronic system that decouples the motor instantly in the event of the drill bit getting stuck.
Statement by the Jury
With its compact shape and ergonomic design, the TE 60 combihammer ensures effective work. All elements of this system are integrated consistently into the Hilti product line – they convey professionalism and distinction.
