In the fast-paced world of electrical contracting, efficiency and precision are not just desired—they’re essential. From navigating complex installations to tackling demanding deadlines, electrical contractors face a myriad of challenges on the jobsite every day. In this high-stakes environment, having the right tools can make all the difference between success and setback.

Amidst these challenges, Hilti’s portfolio of cordless saws empowers users to tackle tasks with elevated efficacy. Powered by Nuron, this new generation of innovative tools provides elevated performance, smart safety features and jobsite efficiencies through a single, higher-performing battery platform for all Hilti cordless tools. In contrast, most other manufacturers require the use of a specific, more cost-intensive battery to operate larger cordless tools.

Now, contractors can use the same set of higher-performing interchangeable 22V Nuron batteries to execute light to heavy-duty jobs—from screwdriving to concrete cutting—eliminating the need for various battery types and sizes.

Enhanced cost control without compromise

The portability and convenience of the Nuron platform not only offers more flexibility on the jobsite, but can also help to minimize upfront expenses. With Nuron, electricians no longer have to spend time locating or managing multiple power sources and can complete tasks with less interruption thanks to the batteries’ premier performance.

And with Hilti's Tool Fleet Management program, contractors can utilize Equipment-as-a-Service (EaaS) to outsource their tool crib management needs. This innovative solution consolidates all equipment-related tasks — from orders and maintenance to repairs and exchanges — into one monthly payment. Additionally, Fleet Management goes beyond industry standards by providing an all-encompassing customer experience. Valuable offerings such as loaner tools during repairs and complimentary exchanges for batteries and chargers provide further support to help keep jobsites on schedule and on budget.

Pairing streamlined battery platform with Fleet Management services makes it easy for electrical contractors to swap tools based on the current and upcoming needs of their jobs. For example, the malleable blades of Hilti’s SR 4-22 One-handed reciprocating saw make it ideal for flexible cutting applications while its sister tool, the SR 6-22 Reciprocating saw, showcases greater cutting capacity for heavier-duty tasks.

 

With both options running on the Nuron battery platform, users don’t have to purchase all new batteries to experience the benefits of both tool bodies. In addition, Fleet Management customers can swap between the two as needed to keep their tool crib optimized. This added flexibility means contractors don’t have to choose between investing in the compact, single-handed operation of the SR 4-22 and the upgraded power of the SR 6-22. Instead, they can access both based on the needs of their scheduled projects.

Furthermore, with Nuron’s consolidated battery platform, jobsite managers can utilize a range of data-driven services such as tool usage tracking and proactive maintenance alerts to ensure their tool crib is optimized for current projects and operating as effectively as possible. In an industry where time is a critical asset, universal batteries can also help mitigate project setbacks caused by loss and theft. When tool cribs require a variety of power sources, work hours spent trying to locate equipment and replacing what’s missing can quickly eat away at projected profit margins.

 

Cutting-edge, not cutting corners

 

In addition to operations upgrades, the inception of Nuron brought added safety features and innovative performance enhancements. The AG 6D-22 Cordless angle grinder boasts the power of a 14–to 15-amp corded grinder and is equipped with safety features exclusive to Hilti. Touch-activated SensTech gives the dead-man’s switch an ergonomic upgrade by swapping the industry-standard mechanical paddle for built-in sensors – allowing for increased maneuverability and comfort to combat operator fatigue. 

Additionally, 3D Active Torque Control (ATC) helps protect workers from kickback in any direction by automatically shutting off if the tool detects it has slipped, dropped or jammed. Available as a 5- or 6-inch grinder, the Nuron-powered AG 6D-22 provides more cuts per charge, allowing contractors to complete deburring, finishing and cutting tasks with less interruption.

 

Designed with electrical use-cases in mind

While Hilti’s portfolio of Nuron-powered saws can be utilized in various trades and applications, there is one tool in particular that stands out for electrical contractors. The SC 4MR-22 Cordless circular saw was specifically designed by electricians, for electricians. Throughout the development process, electrical workers in North America were consulted on the SC 4MR’s design, with their feedback seen as the driving force for the tool’s final configuration. 

The compact metal circular saw cuts straight and clean to simplify conduit and pipe installation, practically eliminating the need to debur threaded rods after application and, in turn, saving contractors valuable time to help keep projects on schedule. Weighing under five pounds, the SC 4MR-22 is light enough for overhead spot cutting, yet powerful enough to handle more demanding tasks with ease.

Right-bladed for safety, the SC 4MR-22’s thoughtful design keeps shards away from the body to further the tool’s ease-of-use while minimizing risk. Its combination of industry-leading features helps to address the unique needs of the electrical industry and offers a solution to some of the most common pain points faced by contractors in the field.

Best-in-class meets battery-powered

Band saws are often a staple tool in an electrical contractor’s fleet. Like other saws on the Nuron platform, the compact SB 4-22 Portable band saw cuts cold, clean and straight, but, further elevates the user experience with quieter cutting and a versatile blade system that can increase cutting speed and preserve battery life while outperforming comparable options on the market.

The near elimination of sparks, debris and noise make the SB 4-22 usable virtually anywhere, including occupied buildings or sensitive environments like hospitals. Its lightweight design includes an LED light for increased accuracy when cutting rods, strut and channel in tight spaces.

For deeper cuts and increased durability, electricians can look to the SB 6-22 Deep cut band saw. Its 5-inch mouth is twice the size of the SB 4-22's, making it the preferred band saw for heavier applications such as cutting EMT, conduit and steel pipe. Although the SB 6-22 is equipped with metal housing and provides better shock absorption, it’s still considerably lightweight at eight pounds. And, for added safety, contractors can choose between a dual or single trigger design based on their personal comfort and control preferences.
