you missed my orriginal posts i have a lot of hilti i actually have the drill for regualr sds bits but 3/4 it the sds max bits.
any where from 200 to 300lb speakers. then the rigging points for chain hoists for trussing. this is after i have the crete tested. its a wee overkill but its my insurance and i like to be carefull when i fly shit over head.

Used a Hilti hammer drill to knock a 5 inch diameter hole through 14 inches of brick wall to run my dryer vent. That was fun.

Not half as much fun as having to move a rough-out PVC drain pipe over 2 inches from its installed position,... in a concrete slab. I had to make a two foot diameter hole in a 6 inch concrete slab just to move the PVC drain over 2 inches. The key was a brand new chisel bit.

Bought new:
Dewalt and crafstman drills
Delta chop saw
Craftsman circular saw
Craftsman belt and orbital sanders
The rest of the tools are a hodge podge I picked up at yard sales. Generally, tools that I only use once or twice a year if that. Scroll saw, band saw, dremel tool, and a few others.

Not sure what model drill you have but the sds max bit chuck handles bits up to 1 1/2", which Hilti sells. I have regular carbide bits for my TE35 up to 1" and dry core bits up to 3 1/2 ". What type of anchors are you using for the rod, just curious. I hang 8" schd. 40 fire sprinkler pipe with 1/2 atr and 1/2 hilti hdi's. By code that system MUST hold 5 times the weight of the water filled pipe plus 250 lbs. Roughly 4500lbs.

Our plumber used the Hilti to move the toilet drain 1.5 feet back, in a concrete slab. That was fun, especially considering the concrete is probably 50+ years old, so it's had a chance to get good and hard.

Amazing how long it takes for concrete to cure. They say some of the concrete in the Hoover Dam is actually still curing.
I saw a great show on the History Channel on that build. They actually ran pipes through the concrete to speed up the curing. If they hadn't, it would have taken an insane amount of time to partially cure.
I saw the dam a few years ago. It's simply amazing to think they designed something like that with no calculators or computers...just drafting boards and slide rules.

now if they where really smart they would have figured a way to use the heat from the curing process for some sort of energy gain.
