DD 150-U Core Drill

The DD 150-U may not look very different from its predecessor, but the user interface is a game changer! It forges the ‘old’ and the ‘new’ into the best multifunctional coring tool on the market. The user interface directs the customer to use the tool as effectively as possible, including guiding them on the pressure required during coring and providing usage stats at the end.

The DD 150-U is not only designed for both handheld and rid-based coring, but it also has an incredible reach handling diameters from 8mm-162mm with ease. Perfect for dry drilling in masonry as well as wet drilling in steel-reinforced and unreinforced concrete for pipe penetrations, cable trays, ducts, setting large-diameter anchors and reinforcing bars.

Lastly, in January 2022, Hilti bought to market the DD 150 Cut Assist module (DD AF-CA L). Designed to connect to the DD 150-U and auto core whilst being used on rig. It takes the physical labour out of core drilling and automatically controls water flow through the DD-WMS 100 as well as identifying when the core is ‘through’ and retracts to a starting position.

The benefits of using this tool for your trade business

• Quick release BI chuck provides fast barrel exchanges and reduces downtime from barrels stuck on conventional threaded chucks.
  
  
• 360-degree adjustable side handles with integrated dust and water management functions allow dust mitigation and waterflow fine-tuning for optimal drilling performance.
  
  
• High motor performance and sturdy three-speed gearing for optimum drilling speed over a wide range of diamond core barrel diameters.
  
  
• Integrated trigger lock for improved user comfort during rig-mounted drilling.

• Bluetooth® connectivity to DD-WMS 100 water management system or DD AF-CA L Cut Assist auto feed unit.
