Hilti has received six awards for recently launched products at the 2025 Pro Tool Innovation Awards (PTIA) in the USA, announced a statement. The international manufacturer and supplier in the construction and tool sector, which is headquartered in Schaan in Liechtenstein, is active in over 120 countries and participated in the annual PTIA competition through its North American headquarters in Plano in Texas.

Over 400 product solutions were submitted to the awards from more than 100 manufacturers, according to the statement. An expert jury then evaluated the entries, considering factors such as innovative features, performance, safety, and ergonomic aspects. “We are thrilled to see the level of innovation this year,” Clint DeBoer, General Manager of the PTIA, is quoted as saying.

Hilti received awards for products in different categories. The new DD 150-U-22 diamond core drill won in the concrete and masonry core drill category. It is cordless and equipped with an oscillating function for easier core removal from the drill. Winning Hilti products across other categories included the VC 5 construction vacuum, the PR 400-22 rotary laser, the DSH 700-X petrol cut-off saw, the new KCCM Kwik Cast Connect anchor system, and a filter system for vacuum cleaners (VC-CB 20/40/150-X).
