Hilti has at least one new Nuron 22V cordless rotary hammer on the way.
They provided details on several new or recent rotary hammers – two with SDS-Plus chucks and one SDS-Max.
This is all the information, details, and images that Hilti provided us with. If you have any questions, maybe Hilti’s influencer partners, who attended an exclusive event and have reviews up on social media, can help.

Hilti TE 8-22 Cordless Rotary Hammer
Here’s what Hilti shared:
- Strongest Hilti power class rotary hammer for concrete and rebar
- Fastest rotary hammer in the Hilti power class, with lowest vibration level
- Up to 30% faster drilling speed
- The best power-to-weight ratio in its class
The new Hilti TE 8-22 cordless rotary hammer (SDS Plus) is shown with an on-board vacuum system (TE DRS-22), which they say provides stronger suction power and a bigger collection box than their current DRS.
Hilti TE 30-22 Cordless Rotary Hammer
Features for the Hilti TE 30-22 cordless SDS-Plus rotary hammer include:
- Faster drilling in concrete and rebar, with lowest vibration in its class
- The lowest vibration in its class
- Up to 30% higher performance
- Superior performance-to-weight ratio compared to predecessor
Hilti TE 70-22 Cordless Rotary Hammer
The Hilti TE 80-22 SDS-Max rotary hammer features:
- Highest performing rotary hammer in its class
- Highest work-per-charge compared to industry average
- Same performance as a power tool in the same class
Our Pick for Cordless Rotary Hammers: Milwaukee M18 FUEL
Milwaukee has a huge selection of high performance M18 FUEL cordless rotary hammers – and also M12 FUEL. They’re our go-to recommendation for professional and commercial-use rotary hammers.
Their SDS Plus and Max rotary hammers pair well with M18 tabless cell FORGE 8Ah and 12Ah batteries.

Also See: Bosch 18V SDS MAX
Bosch’s cordless rotary hammers are also worth considering. Shown here is their 18V Profactor SDS-Max (1-7/8″) model, with brushless motor, 9.3 ft-lbs of impact energy, and an anti-vibration system.
Bosch is well known for high-performance rotary hammers and breaker tools, and the GBH18V-45CK27 should hold true to that reputation.
It’s kitted with Core18V 12Ah batteries and a turbo charger.

Once again, while Hilti USA has provided ToolGuyd with minimal information, additional information is available on the Hilti Germany website, at least for the TE 30-22. There are other Nuron powered rotary hammers , but the TE 8-22 and TE 70-22 did not appear in my searches. Perhaps they have different model numbers for the European market?

I searched for more and found different tools than shown (for the TE 30-22), and nothing at all for the others.
Maybe some of Hilti’s TikTok influencers have some more info, but I was only given what was made available to the media – and it was of course much appreciated.

So the dust collection bit is still an addon? Or is it integrated?
Stuart
Hilti didn’t say and I don’t have a way to find out.
They also listed this TE DRS-22 dust box, and it looks identical to the one attached to the TE 8-22, and so I assume that’s what it is. Maybe the TE 8-22 rotary hammer has its own dust collection attachment, but I don’t think so.
Hilti people check in on ToolGuyd content regularly – maybe someone there can chime in.

I know a (very) few larger general contractors that still support Hilti mostly because of their (once?) much vaunted sales rep’s personal tool delivery and exchange efforts.
But how would, say, Home Depot ever begin to provide anything similar?
