Ave please don't worry about the splatter as i wiped it off this end 🤪

Thanks for never changing. One of only a handful of KZfaqrs left who hasn’t completely changed his content and delivery due to success and changes in KZfaq’s policies and algorithms. Thank you for being real, for being the content creator I love to learn from. Keep up the amazing work as always and just be you. We love you just as you are, don’t change.

I like how Hilti doesn't even mark the tool as brush-less. Basically saying, It's a Hilti you don't need to worry about it.

"I'm a hell of a grinder." I didn't know you used dating apps.

" I may not be much of a welder, but I'm a hell of a grinder !" - AvE. Never a dull moment when it comes to AvE vocabulary and descriptions ! 😜😄

I work for these guys. The detached pinion is indeed a design choice. One of the big selling points of these grinders is the "active torque control", basically a safety feature that shuts it off should it bind on something. They work for a bit after they do bind but the thing eventually strips.

It would be so fun to run around NYC stealing bikes with that thing.

Fun fact: Hilti is headquartered in Lichtenstein, the only major company in one of the smallest "countries" of Europe with not more than 40.000 people.

All my jobs only require 2 beers. The first and the last those ones in the middle don’t count.

Damn, I read the title as "Hilti COFFEE Grinder". I got so excited for a second.

When you're workin one-handed in the dark that soft start is so helpful, stops you giving yesself a premature nose job

"It's bigger when you get it into your hand" lol...I'll have to remember that one.

“A Grinder and paint, makes me the welder I ain’t!” And my own... “Do your best and caulk the rest”

I'd be happy to take that grinder for a spin! I work in a mattress store, so my employer probably won't be happy about it...

"Doing some grindin' and paintin'...y'know...typical welder stuff." Good to know I've been doing it right all these years.

You can’t beat a Hilti. The old man bought a TE-17 rotary hammer drill back in the late 70s maybe 1980, and that thing has shifted more masonry than Chinese Great Wall worker. Still works. I do remember going without Christmas presents one year, this was probably the cause.

We went through two Milwaukee cordless grinders 4 1/2 inch in one year. Used them every day at full capacity ( misc metals trade). Bearing went on one and the other seized solid. We then bought the Hilti grinder same capacity and it's going on nearly three years now and we beat it up every day as well. Loved your video, was surprised to see how well built the Hilti grinder is.

Yeh! 22 is 2 more than 18. 😂

Farmer's nut rounder, called an agricultural lathe over here.

I got that same grinder, a hammer drill and driver plus 3 batteries and a charger - $100 out of the local pawn shop because the lowest price on their sticker for everything was $200. It was on a "closeout" table with a "up to 50% off" sign on it and a yellow closeout sticker on the price tag. When the store manager confirmed the $100 price, I had to hold back the love explosion facial expression and just quickly ran to the register to swipe my card.

Loved the Neil Young reference. "A kinder, gentler machine gun hand" Definitely a maple leafer...

The soft start is an EU directive to improve worker ergonomics. 8 hours of stopping and starting it makes a big difference for us not so strong in the wrists.

Excellent. Hilti tools are now in my sights as something to consider. Thanks for all the information and the humor, AvE. You rock, as always.

Man, a cordless grinder is one of my favorite tools. Like you said it will never replace a corded jobby, but you can walk out to the parking lot and do some actual REAL work. Even some of the nicest battery powered ones only give maybe an hour of hard work, but an hour of hard work on an angle grinder is a LOT of work.

As an autistic viewer I appreciate the hell out of you lowering the volume when grinding/cutting and so on

That front shaft arrangement being hollow and the motor shaft going so far up in is because the one bearing there is not just the pinion bearing, but also the front motor bearing. She’s pulling double duty on ya.

"Like ya do yer reyint." AvE, that was some dang convincing Murican.

I'll pass that around the chain gang like that picture of Johnny's wife, keep it real warm with all the work we're seeing lately.

Love your plan to let a craftsman work the tool! I worked in commercial steel stud and drywall for a while and know the Hilti quality is best by far!

I work for a company where we use three of those angle grinders almost daily, they're heave duty stuff, we even cut concrete with those, been working flawlessly for the past 3 years. No broken parts yet, even that locking tab you said would most likely break are still intact.

Soft start also helps reduce shock loading to the discs, helps reduce the old OSHA vidjo look

Hello, your videos have been a great help for me lately, thanks for all your work!

As a dirty dead tree carcass sculptor with some Festool products, the dust collection is second to none. And while I can’t speak to the skookumness I have been happy and dust collection is a priority.

I'd like to try that out but I'm in the uk, and that's a left hand drive. Not impossible but makes overtaking tricky. Keep up the great work big man.

When debating on either makita or dewalt, and after watching some of your videos. I went with makita. You have the best teardown vids I've found on das interwebs. Keep it up.

Had that grinder for bout 4 years. Still working. Upgraded to the new one with the big battery. Bad ass. Get the tool- les collet thing. Love it.

Take apart the festool domino tool and tell us why it’s like $1500!

The slow start probably helps with that key thing Makes the edges stay sharp and not roll over as quickly

I'm old and crusty. I don't really understand this youtube comment stuff. I simply wish to say thank you for making this type of content accessible to us simpletons.

So glad you are fighting the good "beg the question" fight. We are few but we are (a little too) proud.

1:26 Filthy wood elf? That's me! I'm a vintage wormdrive Skilsaw man, myself. after 30 years it still shows up to work everyday despite knowing it'll probably get a hot lunch. ;-)

I had the whole set but someone else liked it more then i did

I use a Bosch 18V-60C cordless drill everyday at work and I love the thing! I smile everytime i look at it.

This guy is has an awesome sense of humor and is very knowledgeable. Not a combination always easy to come by.

AvE's bed time stories help me sleep

"Theres no accounting for some filthy wood elves taste" 😂😂

Good to know that there is engineering out there that's still well done. Price point will be different, but a good starting point.

I love that he added the bit about the Hilti company rep showing up in a "red shirt and a pony tail" because that has been my entire experience in 15 years with Hilti. I'm not saying it is a bad thing, but it is THE commercial sales 'model'.

You can tell by looking at my name I'm not much of a welder myself, I've put many a hard hrs on a grinder or three. Also a bit of a scumbag if I do say so myself.

"In heavy industry, the surefire way to let the smoke out of an electric motor is to over grease it..." Unless it's a steel mill, in which case you pack everything as right full of calcium sulphonate grease as she'll suffer to purge (and keep out) the water and scale...

Oh sweet, that beer you had is the only type I’ve tried that I’ve been able to care about so far; everything else I have to wait a year between cans so I forget whether I tried it yet

Love this video.... can't wait for you to review their new line of product.

On behalf of the wood elf community, I believe I could give this a proper hot supper and dust ingress test by way of tree carcass carving.

“It’s been value enginerded into complete chintzyness” love it

That snap action is one of your best forays into the scritchy world of ASMR. I'd pay for that content.

The adjectives this man uses are the best

Ave I’m a pipeliner (welder) in West Texas and I’ll have my dull beaver feed that thing a hot supper. He can break anything.

Before Home Depot switched to Hilti, they were/are still carrying Bosch and Makita for the rentals. All my cordless are Bosch, other than a couple niche tools from Milfukie.

I have had a week long borrow of one of those grinders, absolutely fantastic machine, I don't want to give it back.

I have a HILTI DCG125-S corded grinder and it’s a freaking beast! It starts off slow like that but also has a feature they call “smart power” where the grinder automatically increases power if it starts bogging down.

Awesome video. 👍 I've been using my Hilti cordless tool's in the industrial sense for around 6 years now and I must say they are second to none, and I've used them all. I did manage to finally break the upper casing on my grinder thow- I guess they should have given instructions on how to throw it at the boss man with a bit more finesse.😡

Also: why not start a 2nd channel "BOLTR 2 : Tales from the healing bench". I'm sure it will be demonetized because of some cursing, but might be a blast for the admirers of the long-form video!

You have the most entertaining, educational videos AVE!!

I have OCD when it comes to my electrical componentry! 😂😂😂 i have to have my resisters, caps, leds, diodes and chips all perfectly sorted Etc! Lmao I have an O.C.A. obssesive compulsive addiction to componentry! Collecting, scrapping, building, Ect! I have since childhood! My favourite snack is bits and bites! Chips! Cap n crunch serial! I took all day friday to inventory on my thinkpad all my components! Lmao! Labour of love! I love all you,re videos! I learn alot from them to! So thank you AvE! 😎👍🏻👍🏻

I'll gladly put it though its Paces. I Use grinders daily pretty hard in an industrial weld-fab shop.

18 + 2 = 22.. It's just science!

I like to watch this before I go to bed. Interesting but also soothing

A man of taste. The orange Walter abrasives are the best

11:35 Two big *Japanese, low-ESR* capacitors, that is... Double-skookum right there!

I'm curious how well this would last in our waterjet shop.. We've been using "team red" for some time now, and it looks like 2yrs is about all they'll suffer in our hydraulic fluid and garnet filled shop. One of our fab guys is excellent with a grinder, the other doesn't wear any eye protection when he welds.. so figure before long we'll have a 2nd guy pretty handy with a grinder once he's gone blind and can't aim the metal hotsnot gun worth a diddly.

owned one for years now ~ Great tool

I cannot get over your mad vocabulary and command of the canadianish language 👌 absolute legend 😂

Young welder neighbor just told me that the newest DeWalt grinders have a delayed start. Burning them out left and right in the pipelines.

Hay Ave. I could put that tool though he'll and back for you. I work in heavy industry at a maching shop thats over 110 + years old that does all the repairs for all of the coal mines in the northern part of the States. We even do repair field jobs for over 6 large coal mines in Canada. We got guys that weld the heavy chain links that connects the big coal buckets on the dragline. Repairing where they wear. We go throw grinders like there is no tomorrow. We now are testing some of the newer brushless 110ac drills that are out there. I've seen guys push grinders so hard that there is more smoke coming out of the grinder than the smoke that comes off from stick welding. We got big welders pushing 1300 Amps burning 1/8wire putting on 1000's of pounds of steel on sheaves for the dragline. Its pretty impressive. Be glad to put some work that there tool of yours.

My Tap chart T shart arrived this morning! Cheered me right up! Fanks Uncle B

Didn't expect the slow start disapproval, just got done with the Kitchen Aid vid where you learned us to love the warm up.

The timing will be fine, to reverse a 3-phase motor, you must swap any two wires, when you do a 120 or 240 degree rotation you are effectively doing 2 or 4 swaps, which will cancel out, and result in the motor going the same direction anyway (any even number of swaps will cancel out). Thanks for the video, now i just need an excuse to buy this tool.

Good feature aligning the cutting wheel and the trigger finger together

Whenever I take stuff apart to “looksee” or maybe repair a bit; I always find that the tool blesses me with a couple extra screws afterwards. Isn’t that so nice if them🤣🤪 Cheers👊🏼

This is why I am going getting my self a hilti angle grinder this week. Payday has arrived

Send it to me Ave, i work above the arctic circle here in Alaska, it wont last too long here i'm sure

“I’ll just squint” 😂 I’m the heavy equipment and fleet mechanic for a concrete block company and I’ve been looking to get a new Makita grinder for work. Unless the yellow default I got is supposed to sound like a car crash while hitting the kachunk kachunck

I spy the DeWalt cordless die grinder. I really enjoy using it for what I need it for. Look forward to a review!

I'm using hilti tools provided by the company I work for and they are good to the last juice drop, very heavy and you start feeling it as the day goes... Very well built for sure

"11 herbs and spices" 😂😂😂

Standard unit of measure for time in the empire of dirt: beers

I work building residential and commercial pools..... between grinding steel, concrete and woods. We would sure give her a good testing!!! Either way, thanks for giving me someone to enjoy watching on KZfaq and keep the great content coming!!

High-dollar research, and right out of the pocket. That's why BOLTR is the only comprehensive review source. There's only one guy in one place on the planet who will check it out and show you what you need to know.

Remember the good old days when hilti meant shooting nails into concrete and nothing else....

Gotta hand it to Hilti. Well, two hands for one of these beasts.

We got this grinder with the te 4 22a for work two years ago (electricians). Very dirty enviroment (iron formery, lots of Metal and quarz dust) and manages it like a charm. No problem with the gear locker

Hilti has always provided a top notch tool ,,, especially their ramset guns, unbeatable,,,,,

"I'll just squint". It was at this point a fine pilsner exited my nasal cavity at high velocity...

Haha, my wife calls it my tool infatuation and she has excepted that I will own the quality tool.

Another good one from my favorite crazy canuck.

16:49 Coliformally coated :) As always - brilliant, sir!

Sometimes when you play with the dingus end, you get overspray.

IT feels weird seeing something made properly After seeing so much crap from China

Ave, I love your work! I remove and install ATM's for a living. On an average uninstall 4- 1" Hilti anchors have to be cut and that really tests a grinders stamina. I'd enjoy testing it for you! Thanks. BK

I like that it cranks up slow It prevents you from rushing and slicing your hand off
