Hilti ProKit Tool Box Expansion – Drawers, Vacuum, More

Hilti has shared their special influencer media kit with us – here’s a first look at their ProKit modular tool storage options and accessories.

Most notably, Hilti ProKit drawer tool boxes are included in the second wave.

Featured, pricing, and availability details were not provided.

Hilti ProKit Single Drawer Tool Box PKD 61-1 XL

Features include:

• Store and transport larger tools and materials with the single XL drawer
• Drawers can be used as a base

This is an “XL drawer with a single compartment.”

I wonder if the new Hilti ProKit drawers have any weather or dust resistance.

Hilti ProKit Triple Drawer Tool Box PKD 61-21 XL

Features for the 3-drawer tool box include:

• Store and transport smaller materials and hand tools with the three drawers
• Drawers can be used as a base

Are dividers included?

Do the drawers actively lock? What other ProKit drawer tool boxes can we expect in the future?

It looks like Hilti borrowed the locking retention design from Ridgid (see New Ridgid Pro Gear Drawers Tool Box – Teaser).

Hilti ProKit Half Width Tool Box PKC 18-H

Here’s what Hilti shared about the ProKit half-width tool box:

• Autolatch – quickly access your tools while preventing spills
• One-handed operation: stack and unstack ProKit cases with only one hand
• Jobsite ready: Impact resistant and IP 65 rated
• Large 15 liter capacity with dividers

Hilti ProKitHalf Width Organizer PKO 8-H

A half-width organizer was expected. Featured include:

• Autolatch – quickly access your tools while preventing spills
• One-handed operation: stack and unstack ProKit cases with only one hand
• Jobsite ready: Impact resistant and IP 65 rated
• Fully customizable half-width organizer

Hilti ProKit Crate Tool Box PKC 37-O

Hilti says the new crate allows for quick access or storage of items that require ventilation.

Here are the features:

• One-handed operation: stack and unstack ProKit cases with only one hand
• 30 liter open crate capacity

Hilti ProKit Dolly PKR 4

The new ProKit dolly features 4 wheels.

Hilti specifies that this is for indoor transportation.

There’s no load rating.

I wish it had a foot brake for easy stacking and removal of ProKit tool boxes, similar to what Milwaukee came up with.

Hilti ProKit Cordless Vacuum VC 2-22 PK

The cordless vacuum can “fully integrate” in a ProKit tool box stack. I assume it’s powered by a Nuron 22V battery. Can it fit all of them, even the new ones?

Features include:

• Can be placed and used anywhere in the storage and transportation system
• Extendable hose & easy access accessories stored on the VC
• Manual filter cleaning lever and eco mode functionalities
• Comes with a flat wet/dry filter and electronic water cut-off, enabling straight-away usage without any adjustments or additional purchases

Suction power?

As it can handle wet pickup, is there a drain?

Size or length of the hose?

Dust collection capacity?

Hilti ProKit Cordless Dust Extractor VC 4X-22 PK

This one’s interesting – it’s a cordless dust extractor (Hilti’s words), but can also serve as a base for half-width ProKit tool boxes.

It looks a lot like a Milwaukee Packout prototype that I saw a few years ago at a Pipeline media event, except that one didn’t have a built-in vacuum.

Features include:

• Most powerful cordless compact dust extractor in its class
• Automatic filter cleaning for continuous suction performance
• Compact and versatile – can change mobility concept and tank capacity with modular tanks

While “most powerful in its class” sounds mighty, they don’t specify the suction power or performance level.

I don’t understand the “change mobility concept and tank capacity” part – is the rolling base separate and not a permanent part of the Hilti ProKit dust extractor?

Can the vacuums can be activated via Bluetooth or tool remotes?

This was all the information 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.
