Hilti TE 6-22

The TE 6-22 is a 22V brushless cordless SDS-plus rotary hammer on Hilti's Nuron platform, drilling to 22 mm in concrete.

It is a light hammer with modest hitting power. Its 2.1 J of impact energy is low for the class — the 78 rotary hammers in the catalogue that publish a figure run to a median of 3.3 J — and its 22 mm concrete capacity sits under the 26 mm median of the 97 that publish one. What it gives back is weight: 2.9 kg bare, against a 3.45 kg median across 176 hammers.

Hilti's own range is wide enough that the TE 6-22 is one of sixteen rotary hammers the catalogue holds under the brand, so the neighbouring TE models are the obvious comparison before settling on this one.

Compiled from Hilti’s published figures and the 9 specifications this catalogue holds for the TE 6-22. Not a hands-on test.
