Hilti Nuron 22V Plunge Saw Performance Review
As I mentioned, Hilti’s emphasis is better precision, enhanced safety, and unmatched speed (6,000 RPM, no load) and runtime for this new Hilti Nuron Plunge Saw. Hilti is also one of the top manufacturers of professional power tools in the world. So there is a little extra pressure to live up to that standard. Let’s see how this plunge saw measures up.
Precision
Precision blade depth (1mm incremental) and bevel adjustment (up to 47°) provides accurate cuts. The ergonomic grips, guide rails, and a powder-coated shoe create less resistance and allow for more control when cutting, and contribute to better performance overall.
Safety Features
One of the main features designed for safety is the “high dust rate capture”. This can be accomplished by utilizing the Hilti Dust Bag accessory, or the saw can be attached to their Compact Wet & Dry Vacuum for optimal dust capture. The blade is fully concealed when the saw is idle, and there is a retractable dust shield window to reduce material spray during use.
Speed & Battery Life
The improved speed comes from two things: the perfectly paired Hilti Universal Wood Blade, and the Hilti Nuron 22V battery. A superior blade made for a specific saw drains the battery less than a subpar blade that struggles to cut as efficiently. This pairing leads to less wear on the battery for better runtime.
Then, the Hilti Nuron 22V battery is simply one of the best batteries on the market. On top of the improved heat management and faster recharge times of previous models, they also have built-in shock absorber and internal battery monitoring.
These batteries are built to sustain less damage for a longer life, and a user can check a battery’s performance and remove damaged or underperforming products.
Accessories
While not exactly part of the release itself, we do want to mention the variety of accessories that are compatible with this Hilti Nuron 22V Plunge Saw.
Hilti offers a guide rail and parallel guide rail for straight and even cuts. There are also three Hilti circular saw blades (#2389952, #2389956, #2361744) to cut wood, abrasive material, and more. Last, there is a Hilti Dust Bag attachment to further improve dust collection while cutting. Hilti shows 13 accessories for this saw in their listing.
Value of Hilti Nuron 22V Plunge Saw
The Hilti Nuron 22V Plunge Saw can be bought directly from Hilti starting at $579 for the bare-tool. Yes, there are cheaper plunge saws on the market, and many of those are great options for the everyday DIYer or even a small independent contractor. However, this is a professional plunge saw largely meant for the commercial or industrial construction industry. It’s made to outperform most saws you can get off the shelf from your local hardware store.
Makita, Milwaukee, and DeWALT are other familiar brands with brushless, cordless, track saws. You can get full kits (battery, case, track, etc.) for around the price of the Hilti bare-tool. However you’ll sacrifice at least a few thousand RPM’s. And none of these match the safety features, power, and runtime of the Hilti Nuron 22V Plunge Saw. The Hilti Nuron line also offers data technology and repair services that the competition doesn’t. Yes, you will likely pay more for a Hilti tool, but there is a lot of value added to that price tag.
The Hilti Nuron 22V Plunge Saw can be purchased directly from Hilti.
Final Thoughts
Hilti continues to live up to its reputation of providing stronger, faster, and safer power tools and equipment for professionals. The Hilti Nuron 22V Plunge Saw is no different. The tool provides that superior performance that Hilti promises while improving working safety.
