Damn I love that tool!
Only use it on rare occassions….but when I need it, I can’t imagine being without it.
Best part…..it was a “gift” from a buddy. Doing some work on his house, which he had just purchased from his parents. Was tossing a bunch of the “crap” that his father had left in the garage and basement. Asked me if I had any use for the Hilti.
What tool do you own that doesn’t get much use but is indespencible?

Is that the bit that slips over the rod, and with drill on hammer only, it sinks the rod as fast as you can walk down the ladder? I bought that bit for a Hilti.
I think CAP has something that hooks up to a Milwaukee Hole Hog. He buys screw points for the rods and screws them in. It will also reverse them out, and all from waist high level and both feet on the ground.

oh yeah, I had a spare chisel tip so I had welded one up and it's works great.... a lot lighter than the big 90# jackhammer too......

A dictionary? Ok sorry, couldn't resist.
Um, My Lion copy Miter Trimmer. Fast quiet, and dead nuts accurate.
Ditto
My 14" gas cut-off saw and my PLS 2e.
Hili fx 450. Use steel studs in the basement and used to use tapcons or strikers. Hilti, boom done! Also a buddy cast off tool.
Also my dick!
Have a good day

I'd say that more often than not the tool I need thats not always on the truck is my Bosch Power Planer.
I dont use it enough to earn it a space in the regular tool load (not enough room) and its the tool i'm always wishin i'd brung with me.
You need a van. No more "crap, I don't have that tool with me today."Lignum est bonum.
My Powers Trak Fast gun. Works great for nailing into concrete or masonary. It's cordless like the Paslode framers.
My drywall stilts, I use them every chance I get. Soffit and fascia, framing, anything overhead that takes alot of ladder work. I can reach close to 12' with them on.
Router, I use it for cutting out RO's when framing. Or pattern work. I make up a piece and copy it with a flush bit. The other day I had to replace curved fascia on some eyebrow dormers, I took off the old pieces, screwed them to the new Koma and routed them out. Perfect pieces everytime and no measuring.

I have an extended chevy van. Doesnt matter how well I stock it, there's always something left at home.
Better get another one then, and an apprentice to follow you around...Lignum est bonum.
