Hilti NRC 6-22 Cordless Rebar Cutter Review

The NRC 6-22 also follows up on the Hilti Nuron promise to provide construction workers with safer tools.

Keep reading to dig into the details that make the Hilti NRC 6-22 Cordless Rebar Cutter an ideal rebar cutter for the commercial construction worker.

Cut Capacity

The Hilti NRC 6-22 was built to cut through #8/one in. thick rebar when paired with the Hilti X-cut rebar cold cutting blades. Not only does this rebar cutter have the strength to cut through industrial construction rebar, but the Hilti NRC 6-22 performed 122 cuts on #6 rebar on a single charge.

Enhanced Safety

1 of 2

Cermet tipped X-cut rebar blades create fewer sparks and reduce heat build-up which prevents injury and tool malfunction. The safety is further enhanced with a fully encased blade guard that protects the operator.

Faster Cuts, Longer Battery Life

X-cut rebar blades were developed to be extra thin with extra teeth. The combination results in a blade that drains less on the battery with more progressive cuts with every spin. Hilti claims it can cut through #8 rebar in about four seconds – we did it consistently in under ten seconds, which is still an exceptional time saver.

Where to Buy Hilti Rebar Cutter

The Hilti NRC 6-22 Cordless Rebar Cutter can be purchased directly from the Hilti site. The tool starts at $799 for the bare tool with the case. Buyers can also customize their kit to include a battery, charger, or Xcut rebar blades. Hilti also offers fleet discounts for buyers needing multiple rebar cutters.

Final Thoughts on Hilti Nuron NRC 6-22

I had the opportunity to use this rebar cutter on a few occasions, and it left a strong impression. The tool is well-balanced and capable of cutting very close to concrete, which is a big plus. What stood out most was how fast and effortlessly it cut through rebar.

As with any tool, it’s best to let it do the work, but we all have moments where we instinctively push a little harder to speed things up. Whether I let the tool work at its own pace or applied extra pressure, the performance was consistently smooth, with minimal vibration.

Hilti is known as one of the premier tool brands, and this cutter lives up to that reputation. From the moment you pick it up, it’s clear that it’s built for serious work and designed to last, just like other Hilti tools. In my opinion, this is the best rebar cutter on the market—hands down.

Time is money on any jobsite, and safety is invaluable. The Hilti NRC 6-22 Cordless Rebar Cutter sets itself apart from other rebar cutters on the market. Few models can handle #8 rebar, and its cold cutting and burr-free flush cuts save significant time. Its unmatched safety features—such as the fully enclosed blade guard and adjustable 3-position side handle—will help keep your jobsite injury free. At a bare tool price of $799 it’s more than competitively priced and it’s backed by Hilti’s industry-leading product warranty and Hilti Tool Service. With all these advantages, I think it would be hard to justify NOT upgrading to this rebar cutter.

SIMPSON dates back to 1961 when Jack Simpson, co-owner of an Australian industrial cleaning and painting business, made his first pressure washer to assist his crew on jobs. The technology was ahead of its time and Jack Simpson decided to make the shift to providing industry-leading cleaning equipment. Over 50 years later and the renown quality of SIMPSON Pressure Washers still stands.

The main reason why SIMPSON products and equipment have stood the test of time is largely due to the high-quality parts and construction. However, the original pressure washer was made by someone working in the cleaning industry. Jack Simpson understood what was other equipment was lacking and what would improve his and his crew experience.

Today, SIMPSON Pressure Washers standout due to their high-performance engines, high-quality construction, impressive water pressure, and durability that stands up to extended use.

Other key features of SIMPSON Pressure Washers are the innovative features and user-friendly designs.

Parts & Performance Review

I will state again, SIMPSON Pressure Washers and equipment overall earns its high reputation from the high-quality parts and construction. Here we are going to highlight the top components responsible for SIMPSON Pressure Washers performance and reliability.

CRX Engines

One of the standout features of Simpson pressure washers is the inclusion of the CRX engine, which significantly enhances their efficiency and reliability. The CRX engine is known for its powerful output to provide the robust performance needed to tackle even the most challenging cleaning tasks. Whether you’re cleaning driveways, patios, vehicles, or heavy machinery, the CRX engine delivers consistent, high-pressure water flow that ensures thorough and effective cleaning every time.

What sets the CRX engine apart is its advanced engineering and user-friendly design. It offers easy-start ignition, reduced vibration, and lower decibel output so the cleaning process is more comfortable and less strenuous.

This engine is built with precision and high-quality materials to ensure longevity and dependability, and is designed for fuel-efficiency. All of this works together to reduce costs to users long-term, and provides consumers an environmentally-friendly gas pressure washer option.

Overall, the CRX engine makes Simpson pressure washers an outstanding investment for anyone seeking top-tier performance and durability in their cleaning equipment.

The engine comes with a 5-year warranty.

AAA Pump

These pressure washers use AAA pumps which are some of the best on the market. Each pump has an adjustable unloader that responds to changes in water flow, and a thermal relief valve to prevent overheating.

These features allow users to have more control over the water flow and protect the pressure washer for better longevity.

The pump comes with a 5-year warranty.

Powder-coated Steel Frame

SIMPSON Pressure Washers are commercial-grade all the way down to the steel frame. Not only are these steel frames durable enough to withstand any setting, but they are also powder coated to be corrosion-resistant.

Accessories

These units come with a full range of nozzles, an ergonomic spray gun, and a high-pressure hose polyurethane hose that is non-marring and is three times more abrasion-resistant than rubber hoses.

Back to Guide

SIMPSON Pressure Washers Value

One thing that surprises me about SIMPSON Pressure Washers is that they are absurdly fairly priced for the quality, performance, and warranty coverage.

The SIMPSON Pressure Washer models we reviewed today price on par, some even below, the DEWALT Pressure Washer equivalent. Also, once you factor in the longevity features it is clear that SIMPSON Pressure Washers are a worthwhile investment to professionals and homeowners.

Final Review of SIMPSON Pressure Washers

SIMPSON has been an industry-leader in pressure washer and cleaning equipment for over 50 years thanks to their high-quality and high-performing products. That is why they are able to offer long warranties on multiple parts.

At first impression pressure washers may seem like an occasional use tool. However, pressure washers have a variety of uses, such as pressure washing the siding on your house, your car, your deck or patio, or even removed flaked paint from surfaces. They help dirty and worn surfaces look like new, and pressure washers should be a staple for every garage and jobsite. But which one do you pick?

Why DEWALT?

How DEWALT Guarantees Pressure Washer Performance

There are three main components to every pressure washer that make or break its performance: the engine, pump, and accessories. Each of these components was prioritized when designing these DEWALT Pressure Washers.

Let’s take a closer look at each of these components.

DEWALT Engines

All three DEWALT Pressure Washers were made with a heavy-duty professional engine, even the more residential 3600 PSI model. This ensures the pressure washers have the power to meet the demands of the job, but the construction and durability is why DEWALT is able to provide a 3-year engine warranty.

On top of warranty protection, the engines are designed with built-in protection: the low oil shutdown feature prevents against user error, AKA someone “forgetting” to refill the oil.

One last great engine feature I appreciate is the easy start. Gas OPE is associated with exhausting and frustrating pull-to-start ignition. Not these! No fighting, just starting and getting to work.

Pump

The engine gives you power, now you need to move the water. This is where the pump comes in and these DEWALT Pressure Washers have a fully-integrated AAA industrial triplex plunger pump that gives users control over the desired pressure flow.

If you’re unfamiliar, these pumps are extremely heavy-duty and professional-grade pumps. They are tested and rated at over 500 hours and are some of the most efficient pumps on the market. Again, DEWALT provides a 5-year pump warranty for these quality pumps.

Accessories

Accessories provide versatility and control for different pressure washing situations.

Each of these DEWALT Pressure Washers comes with four to five different nozzle attachments. These give users even more control over the desired flow rate. Not an accessory, but a “feature”, the 3600 PSI model also has PowerBoost technology to give you more power on demand.

These hoses are non-marring and high-pressure, which is more abrasion-resistant than a rubber hose.

The spray gun and hoses are also thoughtfully designed to be more ergonomic. Pressure washing is fun, but it can be tiring. The ergonomic design allows you to work longer without getting exhausted. Ergonomic features like this are something I appreciate more and more each year.

Final Review on DEWALT Pressure Washers

Overall, these DEWALT Pressure Washers performed great during our tests with them. They are also a great addition to The Home Depot pressure washer inventory. As the biggest hardware store in the world this helps make high-quality pressure washers more accessible to both professionals and everyday consumers and homeowners.

On top of the performance, the warranty coverage is grade-A. So consumers can get these products with the confidence they will meet their needs, but also the security of their investment if something fails.

So, if you’re looking for a quality pressure washer that is easy to use and will work for years to come, look no further. Any of these DEWALT Pressure Washers would be a great addition to your garage or part of your lineup.

Features & Performance Review

Concrete grinders are pretty simple tools, and this Hilti Cordless Concrete Grinder is not the first cordless concrete grinder on the market. So, what makes this tool standout? Here are the features that stood out to us.

Fast & Efficient Concrete Grinding

Again, this is a six speed cordless concrete grinder that has a range of 3,000-8,000 RPM. The max RPM on this is impressive when compared to other grinders on the market.

The compatible diamond grinding tools for this tool are the SPX Turbo A Diamond Grinding Cup Wheel and the SPX Finishing Pad. The cut wheel is for tougher jobs while the finishing wheel provides a scratch-free finish. Either way, diamond is the best material for grinding and Hilti doesn’t even offer an inferior option.

Last, all of this is paired with the Hilti Nuron battery platform. You’re getting the long-lasting battery life and unyielding power performance. All three of these together allow the cordless concrete grinder to perform to the best of its ability to power through tough grinding jobs.

On top of this, the cordless design lets you get to work right away and no stopping because of cord limitations.

Safer Work Environment

A cordless concrete grinder frees your from the trip hazards and annoyances of a corded tool. Plus this Hilti Cordless Concrete Grinder has a vacuum connector that connects to the new Hilti Vacuum for dust-free grinding. This is better for your lungs and visibility. Plus, it just creates a more enjoyable work environment.

This tool can also sense if its slipped out of grasped and automatically shuts off.

Improved Comfort and Control

The Hilti Cordless Concrete Grinder was designed to be easy to control with help from the slimline grip and padded head.

Final Thoughts on Hilti Cordless Concrete Grinder

The Hilti Cordless Concrete Grinder starts at $499 for the bare tool when bought directly from Hilti. There are some kit and fleet discounts, but this grinder still prices higher than most competitors. However, Hilti is a leader in the concrete industry. A lot of these other grinders on the market are multiuse. Some people see these tools as “versatile”. However, you should see the Hilti Cordless Concrete Grinder as “specialty”, meaning everything about this tool has been made and tested for the industrial concrete industry. Those in this industry will find this tool provides them with exactly what they need day-to-day.

In 2014, Dan showed off the DECKED Truck Bed Storage Drawers that he installed on his Ford F150 to solve his truck bed storage crisis and it was a dream come true. Since then DECKED has evolved its lineup of truck bed storage options. Since storage is a common problem for most truck owners, we decided to step back and take a look at how the brand’s truck bed storage solution has evolved.

• About DECKED
• Products

Common Truck Storage Problems

Pickup trucks are great vehicles that offer owners a ton in terms of towing and horsepower, terrain capabilities, and allow you to move a variety of items and materials. However, the trade-off is less seating and less storage.

Whether your pickup is your work truck or your recreational vehicle, we all have unique storage needs. Not all of us need the traditional tonneau cover or tool box. How to access our storage items is another common problem truck owners deal with.

How DECKED Solves the Truck Bed Storage Crisis

The first DECKED Truck Bed Storage prototype was made out of plywood and modeled after a napkin drawing. The goal was to end the chaotic mess of tools and supplies found in the back of a pickup.

The solution?

A variety of heavy-duty drawers, trays and dividers that allow you to maximize the full length of your truck bed, but also allow you to easily access items whether they were located at the back or front of your truck bed.

DECKED Products

These are DECKED’s most popular truck bed storage options, plus a variety of accessories to enhance the products and further customize your truck bed storage.

DECKED Drawer Systems

The DECKED Drawer Systems is what the original prototype was based off of. This system includes two side-by-side heavy-duty drawers that span from the front of your truck bed to the back. These drawers give you convenient access to everything in your truck. Plus, today’s DECKED Drawers come with a variety or dividers and organizers to customize your storage.

Drawers are waterproof, dust-proof, and have a lifetime warranty. All products made in the USA.
• Includes: Drawers include a variety of organizing boxes, dividers, shallow and deep stash bins, and D-ring tie downs.
• Compatible Trucks & Vans: Short to mid-size truck beds made by Ford, Chevy, Ram, Toyota, GMC, Nissan, Jeep, and Sprinter Vans, plus a universal model option. Simplify the search with the “Find Your Vehicle” search on the DECKED website.

DECKED CargoGlide

10 years ago DECKED offered some sliding tray options. Those trays have evolved into DECKED CargoGlide sliding trays that offer 1,000-2,200 lbs. load capacity and you can choose between 70%-100% extension. CargoGlide works as its own truck bed storage option, or can be combined with DECKED Drawer Systems.

DECKED Full-Depth Truck Tool Box

DECKED invented its drawer system to add another option besides a cover or tool boxes. However, toolbox storage is still a great option for many pickup truck owners. So, DECKED decided to design the perfect toolbox that will never rust, get dinged, completely waterproofed (and idiot-proofed according to DECKED), plus secure.

• Product Name: DECKED Truck Tool Box

Hilti continues to bring new and innovative power tools to market. This includes the release the Hilti Nuron SM 60-22 Cordless Miter Saw. As a woodworker and DIY’er I was extremely excited to experiment with this professional-grade cordless miter saw. Aside from its top tier performance, it has a variety of features that I like because it makes the saw safer and more functional.

Keep reading for my complete thoughts and review, including how I think it stacks up in Hilti’s 2024 pipeline.

Hilti Nuron Cordless Miter Saw

1 of 6

• Model Name: Hilti Nuron SM 60-22 Cordless Miter Saw
• Model #: SM 60-22
• Features: 22V cordless miter saw with a 12 in. blade. This cordless miter saw has six variable speeds and a max of up to 4,300 RPM which makes you believe this is a corded saw. Equipped with a sturdy and easily adjustable stand, plus one key for all adjustments. Cordless miter saw features a dual-bevel with a 4 in. x 13-3/4 in. cross-cut capacity. The LED “shadow line” cut line indicator depicts the precise location and angle of your cut, and blade guard provides protection from saw blade. Save space with the forward-sliding rail, which also allows you to back your cordless miter saw for added versatility. Accessible front controls provide added safety. Saw includes dust bag for dust collection, or it can be hooked up to Hilti vacuum.
• Price: Kits start at $869, discount offers on fleet pricing.
• Where to Buy: Direct from Hilti.

Features & Performance Review

I’ll be honest, this Hilti cordless miter saw has so many features that I could just sit here and bore you as I review each one. The Hilti video above is a great summary of the features. But I am going to tell you about what features stood out to me.

22V Nuron Cordless Power

Miter saws are powerful and even as the power tool shifts to cordless, many miter saws are still corded. The Hilti Cordless Miter Saw runs of the Hilti 22V Nuron battery. If cutting 2×4’s Hilti estimates one charge should provide you with around 450 cuts.

Variable Speed Dial

The Hilti Cordless Miter Saw has a 6 speed variable speed dial that ranges from 2,000-4,300 RPM’s. This allows users to adjust speed for added control or when cutting different materials, such as aluminum.

Forward-sliding Rail

Miter saws are huge bulky machines. The most annoying thing about their design is that often the sliding rail slides back so you can’t place them flush up against a wall, which is frustrating because a lot of miter saws are corded as well. This makes it a nightmare to place them somewhere convenient.

The Hilti cordless miter saw has a “zero back” forward-sliding rail, which gives you a lot more freedom when placing the miter saw somewhere it can function. The convenience of this immediately stands out to me.

Heavy-Duty Construction with User-Friendly Design

As much as I enjoy this cordless miter saw just sitting in my garage, it is made to be taken from site to site. At 60 lbs. the miter saw is fairly lightweight, the stand itself is maybe 10 lbs., and the saw and stand together are designed to be easy to adjust, use and transport.

When something is designed to be lightweight, portable, and adjustable it’s common for the construction quality to take a hit. Not in this case. The stand is a heavy-duty powdered coated steel with welded construction. The miter saw has a similar high-quality construction despite being a more compact design. It’s going to hold-up to rough and heavy use.

Value

People have been comparing the Hilti Nuron Cordless Miter Saw to the Makita Cordless Miter Saw (XSL06PT-R). Many remark that it looks and functions similarly. However, there are a few key differences.

The Makita without the stand sells for around $590. Yes, this is a cheaper saw. However, it’s only a 10 in., the Hilti is 12 in. Hilti estimates about 450 cuts on a single charge while the Makita can only make 334 cuts and requires two Makita batteries. While Makita has a great cordless miter saw, it just doesn’t stand up to the performance or capacity of the Hilti Cordless Miter Saw.

Like most Hilti products, they are expensive. However, they have the power and construction quality that’s needed in the high-demand construction settings they are used for.

TIA Final Review: Hilti Nuron Cordless Miter Saw

The Hilti Cordless Miter Saw is an awesome saw. I know many people would say all miter saws are the same, but I thoroughly enjoyed using this one. As a Hilti product, I knew it was going to perform well, but the convenience and user-friendly design and adaptability to whatever I’m working on is that makes it stand out to me.

The Hilti Nuron SM 60-22 Cordless Miter Saw fits in perfectly with Hilti’s 2024 lineup of tools. We have done quite a few Hilti reviews this year and all of them have provided unique innovations. It makes me excited to see what tool releases Hilti is ending the year with, but even more excited to know what the brand hopes to bring in 2025.

TIA Review of Bosch Tools Releases

Bosch did a great job of addressing the top power tool concerns across all brands with this release.

The Turbo charger gets you back to work faster. The 15 minute recharge time is almost too fast. However, tradespersons can count on their batteries being ready to get back to work as soon as they are.

We are quite happy with the improvements the additional tools have made in terms of power, accuracy, and efficiency. However, Bosch also ensured that each tool had safety features. Some of these features are double-duty, such as the impact wrench’s auto slow down feature. It helps users maintain control but it also prevents damage and worker injury. The band saw and the planer both have easy, tool-free blade change, along with guards for added protection.

Bosch tools can price higher than comparable brands like Milwaukee, DEWALT, or Makita. However, the prices are comparable overall. Bosch also has exciting battery advancements coming up that may soon put their tool power ahead of competitors.

Overall, there is an impressive line-up of tools in this release that provide excellent power, accuracy, efficiency, and safety for users.

Hilti Nuron 22V Plunge Saw Performance Review

Hilti Nuron 22V Plunge Saw Performance Features

1 of 3

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.

Hazards of Lithium-Ion Batteries

Safety is paramount on any job site as well as our homes and home workshops. Yet it’s all too easy to overlook the necessary precautions when working on professional and home projects, this includes how we use and store our Lithium-Ion batteries.

Lithium-Ion batteries are widely used in most of our devices, including: smartphones, laptops, power tools, electric vehicles, and beyond. Unfortunately, the chemistry inside Lithium-Ion batteries is not completely stable. Physical damage from impact, overheating, or even manufacturer defects can cause these batteries to become dangerous.

The main hazard is that a damaged Lithium-Ion battery can short-circuit and catch fire or even combust and cause damage to the user and their surroundings.

Lithium-Ion batteries can be severely dangerous as the batteries contain flammable materials and toxic fumes. Battery fires can also be resistant to regular fire extinguishers, and can be harder to control and extinguish. With hazards so severe, here are a few things users can do to protect themselves from the dangers of Lithium-Ion batteries.

Lithium-Ion Battery Safety Measures

• Have dropped or impacted batteries professionally inspected and/or serviced before reuse.
• Stop using batteries that have become hot and wait to cool before reuse. Replace if they consistently reheat without auto shutdown.
• Return defective batteries.
• Store batteries in a temperature controlled area and avoid exposing batteries to extreme hot and cold temperatures.
• Use protective gloves and equipment when using tools with Lithium-Ion batteries.
• Invest in and make accessible fire extinguishing equipment specific to containing fires related to batteries.
• Store in a fire-protective storage container, such as Justrite Battery Charging Cabinet.

As we mentioned, Justrite Battery Charging Cabinet is one of the best options for protecting your batteries, your property, yourself, and the people around you from Lithium-Ion battery fires and hazards.

So, let’s take a closer look at this charging cabinet’s functions and features.

Justrite Features

The Justrite Battery Charging Cabinet features can be broken down into three main categories: general/functional, safety, and security. We’ll take a closer look at each of these to help you understand how this cabinet fits and works in your space.

General & Functional Features

1 of 2

The benchtop Justrite Battery Charging Cabinet measures 24-in H x 43-in W x18-in D and has an 8-receptable power strip attached in the back lower cabinet, and has a 2kWh TECR maximum total WATT capacity. We were able to fit eight different batteries and chargers between the two storage shelves and had room to spare. Each shelf has a 65 lbs. weight capacity.

On the outside, there is a single, 3-prong plug that will allow you to connect this cabinet to power. According to Justrite, “This product is intended to be plugged into a dedicated 120VAC/60Hz GFCI supply using a minimum 14 gauge cord.”

The cabinet is designed with piano hinges which are strong to ensure proper door alignment when the cabinet is closed and batteries are charging.

Despite its size, the cabinet has a simple box design with clean edges and even a flush mount handle. It can be placed against a wall for convenient installation and usage placement.

Fire Safety Features

The Justrite Lithium-Ion charging cabinet is designed to charge your batteries and protect you and your property in the event of a battery fire by keeping the fire contained. The battery fire safety features of this cabinet are a double-wall construction made of 18-guage, fire-resistant steel. And there is a 1-1/2″ air gap between the walls.

The power strip helps keep the fire and heat in the cabinet in case there is a problem with one or more batteries.

The manual-close doors feature baffled vents with a unique flame arrester pattern.

Charging batteries can generate a lot of heat. The Justrite Battery Charging Cabinet includes a built-in Axial fan to regulate the internal cabinet temperature. The fan is protected by sliding doors that close and obstruct the fan opening if the internal temperature exceeds 135° Fahrenheit. On the outside of the cabinet there is a heat-reactive label that turns black if the internal temperature reaches 120° Fahrenheit or above to alert you before opening.

Additional features include: grounding attachment, leveling feet, and a three-point stainless steel bullet latching system, which ensures a secure and reliable door closure while enhancing resistance to heat and corrosion.

Security Features

Value

The Justrite Lithium-Ion Battery Charging Cabinet is available from most retailers and Justrite for $2,950. This may be a lot of money for the everyday DIY’er, but for the professional tradesman or serious prosumer this is an invaluable fire safety product that can protect you and your workers from injury and even death, and prevents the financial loss and impact of devastating fire damage to your workspace. This charging cabinet is made in the USA (with US & imported parts), and is covered by a Justrite’s Limited Warranty “against defects in materials and workmanship for a period of ten years from date of purchase”.

While insurance should help with expenses in the event of a workplace fire, there is also associated profit loss from lost time and workspace due to disaster displacement. So, even though it’s not necessarily “fun” to invest in safety products, they are extremely valuable.

When it comes to construction, alignment is key for creating structurally sound and visually appealing spaces. Laser levels are crucial for ensuring this accuracy. However many on the market are not ideal for large commercial construction projects. The Hilti Nuron 22V 360° Laser Level (PM 50MG-22) provides construction workers with an industrial-grade laser level that addresses all the common drawbacks and sets new standards.

Today, we are taking a closer look at the Hilti Nuron 22V 360° Laser Level. Keep reading to learn what this laser level brings to the construction site.

Uses for Hilti Nuron 360° Laser Level

The Hilti Nuron 360° Laser Level is ideal for numerous applications, such as installing drywall, aligning pipes and cables, installing plumbing lines, leveling a suspended ceiling, and more. It’s also great for ensuring clean lines when installing tile on a wall. These purely visual applications don’t typically impact the structure itself, but they still reflect craftsmanship.

Back to Guide

Features Review

The common complaints of laser levels are that they drain batteries, the lines aren’t visible in certain types of light, and are easily breakable. Hilti did a great job of addressing each of these common complaints and then raised the bar so high that these are no longer a concern.

Let’s take a deep dive into each of Hilti laser level’s features.

Accuracy & Visibility

Hilti claims the Hilti Nuron 360° Laser Level can accurately cast three lines up to 262 ft. without a receiver and up to 427 ft. with a receiver. Hilti reported the accuracy of these lines as ±0.12 in. at 33 ft. This laser is incredibly accurate with a phenomenal range.

In addition to the accuracy and range is the visibility. Many lasers use a red light which isn’t always visible in all light throughout the day or in all construction settings. Some lasers are just weaker. Not the Hilti laser.

Hilti chose a neon green light. The color choice stands out against the various shades of light and is vibrant enough to be seen in an already bright setting.

Runtime

The Hilti laser runs off a Hilti Nuron 22V battery. This battery provides up to 15 hours of runtime. That’s enough runtime for most construction days. The Hilti might even have enough runtime for two work days.

Heavy-Duty Construction

Accidents happen on construction sites. A lot of surfaces are either steel or concrete and equipment can break when dropped on these surfaces. Steel, wood, and bricks are also common materials and can break products that are hit by these materials or get buried under them. The Hilti 22V Laser Level can stand up to this.

First, the Hilti Nuron 360° Laser Level has a heavy-duty housing that is drop-resistant. The durability is further reinforced by rubber dampers. The laser also has built-in temperature and humidity resistance so it can be used throughout the year in a variety of seasons and locations. It is IP 54 safety rated.

The laser level also comes with a wall mount and magnetic bracket for secure mounting while in use.

Performance Review

Yes, we played around with this laser level. One thing to note is that this is a fairly large in comparison. Some others are pocket-sized, not this one. This laser level is 5.5 in. long x 5 in. wide x 7 in. tall, and just under 5 lbs. But like we said, this is not an everyday DIY’er laser level. It’s cumbersome for that kind of use, but a doable size for a construction setting. If anything, the size makes it more noticeable and durable.

We checked out the laser with lights on and off. The lines were strong and visible in both settings. It was also easy to use and the lines and we found them to be accurate.

Hilti Nuron 22V Laser Level Value

Starting at $549 this Hilti laser level costs significantly more than most other models especially those found on Amazon. However, those models are generally made for smaller home projects. The Hilti Nuron 22V Laser Level is designed to cast strong, accurate lines up to 427 ft. away for up to 15 hours. You’ll be lucky to get three hours of runtime for a much smaller space with the common laser level.

The Hilti laser level is made for construction workers. Its accuracy, long runtime, and durability make it a worthwhile investment for professionals.

A lot of people regard Milwaukee Laser Levels as the best laser levels on the market. Various models range in price from around $250-$600. They are durable and have comparable runtimes, but their strongest laser levels only cast accurately up to 165 ft. and that’s just not enough for many industrial construction applications. Plus, the mounting kits are sold separately, which will make some Milwaukee laser levels cost more than the Hilti.

If large-scale construction projects make up the majority of your work, then the Hilti Nuron 22V 360° Laser Level is for you.

Back to Guide

Final Review

The Hilti Nuron 360° Laser Level (PM 50-MG22) is an incredibly accurate and high quality laser level for commercial construction projects. The price is right on par with its capabilities and well worth it if upgrading your laser level means improving your workday.
