Concrete Saws for Reliable and Efficient Cutting Solutions
Concrete saws are indispensable tools on construction sites — whether you’re cutting through concrete, masonry, or metal, you need equipment that delivers both power and precision. At Hilti, we provide an extensive range of high-performance concrete saws, designed specifically for professionals. From compact battery-powered cut-off saws to robust petrol-driven units, we have solutions that help you tackle the most demanding cutting tasks.
What Are Concrete Saws?
Concrete saws are specialised power tools used to cut, score, or shape hard materials such as concrete, stone, masonry, and metal. In professional construction environments, these saws are indispensable for creating openings in walls, trimming concrete slabs, and handling demolition tasks. With the right blade and engine technology, a concrete saw can also make precise cuts in asphalt and other hard materials, offering a versatile solution to a wide range of cutting requirements.

Each model is thoroughly tested to handle tough site conditions, and many are equipped with advanced technology features for improved operator safety and productivity.
Key Features of Hilti Concrete Saws:
- Advanced power options with petrol, electric, and battery-driven models.
- High cutting depth of up to 150 mm and suitable for a wide range of base materials, including concrete, brick, masonry, asphalt, steel, and mineral substrates.
- Ergonomic designs, with rear-handle and top-handle variants to suit different cutting positions and operator preferences.
- Ease of maintenance-features like an easy-to-clean air filter housing, blade brake systems, and accessible component layouts help keep downtime to a minimum.
Types of Concrete Saws Available at Hilti
Hilti offers a selection of concrete cutting solutions to meet the diverse needs of construction professionals. Below are some of our main product categories:
Battery-Powered Cut-Off Saws
Our cordless cut-off saws offer mobility and high performance, eliminating the need for fuel or power cords. Designed for both wet and dry cutting, these saws efficiently cut up to 120 mm in concrete or metal, making them ideal for tasks where portability is a priority.
Petrol Saws
Are you in need of maximum power for larger on-site jobs — especially outdoors? Hilti’s petrol saws deliver. With engine sizes up to 87 cc, you can cut through thick concrete or asphalt with blade diameters up to 400 mm. Advanced features like auto-choke ensure a quick start, while robust engineering keeps the saw running efficiently under heavy loads.
Electric Cutters
For enclosed or low-emission job sites, our electric cutters provide a powerful alternative to petrol models. Equipped with Smart Power technology, the motor adjusts power output to maintain consistent cutting speed, even under varying loads. These cutters are engineered for both wet and dry cutting, providing flexibility and reducing dust on site.
Slitting Tools (Wall Chasers)
Ideal for mechanical and electrical installations, Hilti’s slitting tools create clean, uniform channels in concrete, masonry, and brick. Designed for easy handling and optimal cutting depth, these are essential for service installations, allowing cables and pipes to be embedded seamlessly into walls and floors.

FAQs
How do Hilti concrete saws compare in performance and longevity?
Hilti concrete saws are designed for durability, precision, and professional-grade performance. While the upfront cost may be higher, their robust construction, reduced downtime, and extended lifespan contribute to long-term value—helping professionals work more efficiently and reliably over time.
Do Hilti’s petrol saws contribute more to environmental pollution?
Any petrol-powered tool emits exhaust, so battery- or electric-powered saws are typically cleaner. That said, Hilti designs its petrol saws to meet stringent emissions standards and offers electric and cordless alternatives for low-emission job sites.
Are Hilti saws suitable for both wet and dry cutting?
Yes. Many of our petrol, electric, and battery-powered models are designed for wet or dry cutting. Wet cutting can help manage dust and increase blade life, while dry cutting is more flexible and requires less site preparation.
What maintenance is required for petrol saws?
Regular checks on the air filter, spark plug, and fuel mixture are recommended. Hilti’s advanced designs, like auto-choke and easy-access filters, help simplify maintenance and reduce downtime.
Can I hire Hilti concrete saws in the UK?
Yes. Hilti offers flexible options — including tool hire and Fleet Management — to help you manage costs and equipment availability for large or short-term projects.
Battery cut-off saws
The performance and feel of petrol cut-off saws without the hassle
What if you could forget about fumes, noise and fuel-mix issues? And what if flooded engines and broken pull cords were a thing of the past?
When you use our cut-off saws on the Nuron platform together with blades that we've optimised for speed and run time, you can get the same work done as with 60cc and 70cc petrol cut-off saws – minus the hassle and extra costs.
Why choose Hilti battery cut-off saws?
Advanced safety features
Our 3D Active Torque Control (ATC) technology shuts the tool down in less than a second in case of kickback, or when the tool is dropped
Feel and performance of gas
Improved power distribution means you get the feel and performance as 60cc and 70cc petrol saws
More cuts per charge
Maximise your run time – with 2x2 B22-255 batteries the DSH 700-22 can cut as much concrete as with a full tank of petrol
Lower running costs
Get virtually maintenance-free tools with up to double the life of petrol cut-off saws. Plus you can say goodbye to fuel-related costs.
Safer cutting work
Protect your crews against kickback and exposure to dust
- Unique 3D Active Torque Control (ATC) stops unexpected tool kickback in < 1 second
- Extremely fast-acting blade brake: stops disc spinning < 4 seconds after trigger release
- Intuitive digital on/off switch: press twice to turn tool off. After 60 seconds the tool automatically shuts down.
- Cut dust exposure to allowed limits with our DWP 15-22 battery water pump when outdoors – or indoors where allowed. Or cut dust exposure by up to 50% with our dedicated DSH-DRS dust removal system (DRS).
- Vibration lower than <2.5m/s2: Active Vibration Technology (AVR) as standard
Power meets flexibility with the DSH 600-22
More manoeuvrability for jobs from paving work to metal cutting
The DSH 600-22 gives you the power you need for quicker cuts up to 120mm using a 300mm blade – all in a tool built light enough for comfortable handing in any direction.
Doing jobs where tool weight is critical? Use 2x2 B 22-170 Nuron batteries. Need more run time? Use 2x2 B 22-255 Nuron batteries to cut as much concrete as with a full tank of petrol.
Hit the ground running with the DSH 700-22
Petrol-like performance for jobs from cutting concrete slabs to metal deck
For heavier duty jobs choose the DSH 700-22 battery cut-off saw. The DSH 700-22 comes with a rear handle for extra comfort during floor-focused tasks. And when you pair the tool with our specially designed blades you'll get performance similar to a 70cc petrol-cut off saw.
Blades built for your cut-off saw
Diamond blades and cutting discs optimised for battery tools
The SPX Universal A diamond blade has been specially developed by Hilti for optimal cutting speed and cuts per charge when cutting concrete and masonry. With a 300 mm diameter and a thinner blade core, it uses less power during cutting so you can work longer between recharges.
For best performance when cutting metal, use our durable and powerful SPX metal cutting disc.
Cut concrete...and tool costs
Get lower running costs and a longer lifespan for your cut-off saw
No one likes to spend extra money. Here's how using our battery cut-off saws can help you save on tool costs:
- Elimination of costs associated with fuel, including purchase, storage and transport
- Almost no maintenance costs because battery-cut off saws have fewer wearable parts than petrol saws
- Up to double the tool lifespan thanks to a brushless electric motor
Save on CO2 emissions with battery cut-off saws
The same cutting power as our petrol saws in a more sustainable tool
Our DSH 600-22 battery cut off saw and DSH 600-X petrol cut-off saw have almost the same CO2 footprint at time of purchase. But after just 33 hours of use, the DSH 600-22 comes out ahead.* And the annual saving in CO2 emissions for the DSH 600-22 is over one tonne a year, making battery cut off saws the more sustainable choice.
* Based on use of 4 B255-batteries and 2 C8-22 230V chargers for 6 hours a week and 2.4 tank refills per hour for the DSH 600-X
