HILTI VS. DEWALT®

Hilti’s adhesive anchors provide high-performance on tough jobsites that the competition just can’t match

Take weather out of the equation

Hilti’s high-performance adhesive anchors offer faster cure times in temperatures as low as 14 degrees Fahrenheit (-10 degrees Celsius)and work times that allow crews to accomplish installation steps safely in temperatures up to 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees Celsius). Compared to DeWalt® , Hilti products provide unmatched performance that helps you stay productive in adverse conditions.

Options include:  

  • HIT-HY 200-A V3: faster cure times down to 14 degrees Fahrenheit (-10 degrees Celsius)
  • HIT-HY 200-R V3: slower cure times for more working time up to 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees Celsius)
  • HIT-RE 500 V3:  the fastest slow-cure epoxy on the market that performs in temperatures down to 23 degrees Fahrenheit (-5 degrees Celsius).

The new HIT-HY 200 V3 fast cure high-performance adhesive offers increased versatility, durability and ease of use—even in adverse conditions that would usually bring jobsites to a screeching halt. It maintains load capacity in demanding conditions like water-saturated concrete or diamond cored holes.*

HY 200 V3 is the only adhesive that can be paired with the torque-controlled HIT-Z rod, which makes manually cleaning the drilled hole unnecessary. These adhesive anchors can be used with threaded rods, internally threaded inserts and reinforcing bars in diameters ranging from ¼” to 1¼”. 

Set faster than the competition with SafeSet

In 2013, Hilti introduced SafeSet – a system that reduces or eliminates the removal of concrete dust and debris between the drilling and cleaning steps of installation. HY 200 could be used with a Hilti hollow drill bit and vacuum system for automatic hole cleaning, or with a HIT-Z torque-controlled rod and standard hammer drilling that requires zero hole cleaning.

Whether your concrete is wet or dry, SafeSet makes setting anchors faster, easier and safer. It’s the first system that does more than just drill and clean holes. It also includes smart dispensing of the adhesive, removing guesswork about proper dosages and when to discard.

Fewer dispensers = more productivity

Adhesive anchor cartridges come in a variety of sizes depending on the application. The competition usually requires a different dispenser for each product, but we’re here to help our customers work smarter. Our dispensers are designed to work with our core portfolio of six high-performance adhesives, so say goodbye to searching the jobsite for the right equipment and simply switch out adhesives and nozzles to keep on working.

More efficient than ever

When you combine HY 200 V3 with the next generation SafeSet system, the result is a faster, easier and safer anchor installation workflow. With all-weather performance you can count on, easy installation and a single connected tool platform, the difference between Hilti and DeWalt®  is clear.
