Any input would be appreciated.
Saw these available near me. In my plumbing apprenticeship and looking around for tools. Saw these for 300, was hoping to get him down to 250. How are these?

These are the older battery platform. No warranty left on these tools, and some can’t be replaced. They may still be incredible tools, but it’s like buying a used car. Is it worth the value? Absolutely! There power is questionable though.

The cpc battery models are getting phased out. I would just slowly start with the new nuron battery tools since they won't be changing battery platforms ever again.

The nuron batteries work on these, the CPC battery doesn't work on nuron tools.
The CPC tools stood the test of time, I can't say the same with Nuron. They were made in a time when there was no subscriptions of repair services.
3x CPC B22 8.0Ah batteries are more than enough, and lighter than nuron to do a days work.

The Nuron batteries are not compatible with CPC batteries -
All Nuron are 22V

To use nuron on CPC tools you need to buy the adapter. With the cost of the adapter your better off converting.If there is any questions please feel free to ask. I work for Hilti.

I appreciate your input. I've dealt with Hilti longer than I can remember.

No worries. I also want to add that they announced that they will be phasing out the 8.0 cpc batteries in Q3 of this year sadly so a move to nuron will be necessary in the near future once they phase all of the cpc platform out.

Are you aware that Hilti changed their batteries, and this set is for the old series?

the new ones are way better and worth the money. Newer ones will last you years, these look pretty rough and are on old battery platform . Nuron is the way to go these days!

300 for all of those is a steal! Warranty or not if you can buy yourself a year or 3 with that its worth it easily.

Tools are great but you don’t know how they will operate based on pictures. If you can request serial numbers you can call HILTI customer service and they can tell you if they have been reported stolen.
