Cordless Tools
Hilti North America, a global leader providing innovative tools, technology, software, and services to the commercial construction industry announced today that in 2023 more than 30 new cordless tools will be added to its already robust portfolio of more than 70 existing Nuron battery-powered tools. And, at the upcoming World of Concrete in Las Vegas, customers will have the opportunity to get hands-on with more than a dozen of these new Nuron tools.
DSH 700-22 Rear handle cordless cut-off saw
With a multitude of tools that span across a variety of trades, Hilti extends solutions for applications in formwork, pipe hanging and metal cutting. The latest Nuron innovations make a compelling argument for flipping tool cribs to fully cordless, leaving the hassle of fumes and generators behind with the DSH 700-22 Rear handle cordless cut-off saw, the NCV 10-22 Ultimate concrete vibrator, the NCV 4-22 Pencil concrete vibrator; and the SB 6-22 Wide mouth cordless band saw.
The DSH 700-22 virtually eliminates the need for gas powered cut-off saws on the job. The NCV 10-22 improves safety to concrete placement applications through removing the fuel and fumes associated with traditional gas-powered backpack concrete vibrators. The NCV 4-22 helps enable operators to vibrate concrete in the hardest to reach parts of the concrete pour with its narrow head and more than enough power to finish the job. The SB 6-22’s wide mouth band saw has a deep cutting capacity of 5″ and a two-handed cutting experience for optimal safety.
“Transitioning from gas or corded to the Nuron all-on-one cordless platform with Hilti reduces tool crib complexity, without compromising on performance,” said Mike McGowan, Region Head and CEO of Hilti North America. “And Nuron continues to enable businesses to make informed decisions using real-time jobsite data obtained from its cloud-connected, intelligent cordless tools and batteries.”
SB 6-22 Wide mouth cordless band saw
Nuron tools help improve productivity with versatile 22V Li-ion batteries delivering optimum power-to-weight ratio for most drilling, driving, and cutting jobs. Nuron’s new electronics provide insights on battery and tool use and empowering proactive tool crib optimization. Nuron provides upgraded durability and cordless battery performance monitoring with a built-in battery health tester, sealed electronics, shock absorbers and reinforced housing to better protect against the toughest jobsite conditions.
Hilti diamond and carbide blades and drill bits are designed specifically for Hilti Nuron cordless tools to increase system performance or extend the life of the power tool accessories. When Nuron tools and accessories are combined, they enable jobsites to work faster, harder, and more efficiently to stay on schedule and budget.

Milwaukee’s determination to improve user experiences is exemplified by their continued commitment to provide productive layout solutions. Built for focused leveling applications, the M12™ Green 360° Single Plane Laser is the newest addition to their laser lineup. Focused on delivering users a solution with more power, visibility, and easier set-up, the Single Plane Laser aims to improve jobsite efficiency.
“After the success of our first M12™ lasers, we knew there was an opportunity for additional innovative solutions in this space. Competitive alkaline-powered lasers don’t have the runtime and visibility users need to get the job done,” said Kenan McCutcheon, Product Manager for Milwaukee Tool. “Leveraging our advanced M12™ battery technology, we are able to provide users the most reliable and powerful lasers for a best-in-class experience.”
The M12™ Green 360° Single Plane Laser provides all-day run-time and best visibility* in its class. Utilizing an M12™ REDLITHIUM™ XC 4.0 Battery, users can get 30+ hours of continuous run-time, and the brightest* green laser offers users superior visibility with up to a 250’ diameter. The laser is fitted with a tether-ready lanyard loop to help eliminate drops, and the amplified rare earth magnets provide a secure hold, ensuring it won’t slide on steel studs and allowing users to set up anywhere. The Single Plane Laser is impact rated for drops up to 1m and the IP54 rating helps protect it from harsh jobsite conditions.
The new M12™ Green 360° Single Plane Laser joins the M12™ Cordless System, the largest sub-compact system on the market, focused on delivering industry-leading durability and power in the tightest spaces. Currently, the M12™ System is made up of more than 100 solutions.
