Hilti Hammer Drill TE76 (2014)

Engineers Martin(1915-1997) and his brother Eugene(1911-194) founded Hilti Maschinenbau OHG in Sichuan, Liechtenstein. The first hammer drill introduced by Hilti, the TE17, was made in 1967, it was the first electro-pneumatic hammer drill and included a safety clutch, its hammering mechanism transformed concrete drilling and has been evolving since then into the most comprehensive series of tools, creating one of the best series of hammer drills to this day, the TE series.

The Hilti hammer drill TE76 has a very distinct look, the body of the drill is red, with a black drill tip and handle. It also has an attached handle towards the front under it for extra leverage and support. It comes with a black knob on the body of it and the plug-in cable is attatched at the bottom. It has the name HILTI written in a bold font on the outside of it and also has the words (TE76. ATC) written under the name. It comes in Hilti's trademark red box.

• The TE 76-ATC falls into the electrical protection class I, which is grounded, according to Hilti USA. Equipped with a mechanical torque-limiting clutch and a lockable control switch in chiseling mode, this rotary hammer possesses infinite variable speed with electronic regulation that is independent of load. The selector switch allows for options for either full power or half power. The TE 76-ATC is also equipped with a grip and side handle with vibration absorption, a side handle able to pivot and a service indicator with a light signal. The gearing and hammering mechanism requires oil lubrication. The TE 76-ATC has drilling and chiseling modes along with a quick-change chuck and 24-way chisel-position adjustment.
