Why are Hilti tools so expensive ? I was browsing for tools on Amazon and ran across Hilti tools, Rotary hammer drill almost 5 grand, 450.00 for a cordless hammer drill, 480.00 for a sawzall . Ive used major brand tools with no problems, and they last a reasonable amount of time, Im not sure if I can buy any of their tools at that price, even if they are guaranteed for life.
