We are continuing our coverage of the lineup of 2024 Hilti Nuron power tools and equipment. Today we review the Hilti Nuron Concrete Vibrator. This is a premier concrete vibrator for the commercial construction industry, designed to release air bubbles and excess moisture from poured concrete. Hilti is also a leader in the concrete industry. These two things make me very excited about this new tool in terms of quality and performance.
Let’s dive in and see what this Hilti Nuron Concrete Vibrator offers the professional construction industry.

We Review the Hilti Concrete Vibrator
This is a cordless pencil concrete vibrator ideal for small pours and is one of the latest additions to the Hilti Nuron platform. Hilti promises that the Nuron platform offers more power, innovative safety features, and cloud-based tool data and communication services than previous Hilti products and raises the bar for power tools everywhere.
Just like any other Nuron tool, Hilti focused on developing a stronger and safer concrete vibrator.
Power
The brushless motor allows this tool to produce up to 15,000 vibrations per minute (VPM). The long-lasting Hilti Nuron battery ensures this tool performs robustly throughout the duration of the job.
Enhanced Safety
This is a “low noise, low vibration” concrete vibrator. This improves worker safety in a couple of ways. First, reducing noise is a significant step for improving worker safety because it allows workers to be more aware of their environments.
In addition to being low vibration, this tool is a lightweight and compact tool. The tool itself plus the 4 ft. whip attachment weighs under eight pounds. The tool is easy to grip and handle for easy to use and control.
Value of Hilti Concrete Vibrator
We compared the Hilti Concrete Vibrator’s price and performance to other pencil concrete vibrators.
Milwaukee and DeWALT have similar tools. The Milwaukee model is priced between $399 on Amazon (third-party seller) to $492 from Grainger. Its price is on par or above the Hilti model, but only provides 12,500 VPM. DeWALT has a concrete vibrator that is more powerful than the Milwaukee one and produces 14,000 VPM. It is originally priced $714.87 from Grainger, but on a flash sale for $370.
These are the two most comparable concrete vibrators and both underperform when compared to the Hilti. While you could find these for less than the Hilti between flash sales and third-party sellers, they are both originally priced higher. I also have concerns that the DeWALT model is getting phased out. Maybe a better model is on the way, or maybe the current model is underperforming. I can’t say for sure, but something to be wary of when items are priced almost 50% off.
Where to Buy Hilti Concrete Vibrator
This tool is listed for $409 for the bare-tool and can be ordered on the Hilti site.
Final Thoughts
The Hilti Concrete Vibrator is fantastic for small-pour concrete jobs. When you consider its performance and it’s competitively priced with its top competitors. This tool is great for anyone in the concrete or construction industry.
