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.

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.
