Lightweight rotary hammer drill
Weighing less than 7 lbs., the TE 7 Rotary Hammer Drill has impressive power-to-weight ratio, low vibration, and it allows professionals to drill non-stop. It is ideal when the job calls for repetitive anchor hole drilling in concrete and masonry. The optional, self-contained dust removal system (Hilti TE DRS-M) clips onto the TE 7 and helps reduce the operator's exposure to dust.

Taper-Lock Splicing System
The Taper-Lock Splicing System eliminates the need for a torque wrench. The coupler self-aligns onto the taper-threaded rebar, allowing the system to be hand-tightened. To mechanically splice the system, the couplers utilize a proprietary, tapered thread on the rebar and mating couplers. The Taper-Lock Splicing System is a 160% specified yield system, which exceeds specified strengths of most building codes.
