Hilti 460-IE

[Rigsby]

Theres a Hilti 460-IE for sale on ebay. The bloke who is selling it bought two for a curtain walling job. I bought one and this is the other. They retail for about £550. It is as new so if someone wants a virtual new 460-IE this is a bargain. Theres an example of using one of these on youtube, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwR9PeYuYZs.

[richardbrown]

[theblones]

[spunky]

What sit actually doing?

 

[richardbrown]

**** sake i just won it...... jesus

 

[spunky]

Get him to post it or get you're missus to tell him you're dead or something

 

[richardbrown]

Ill knock up a fake death cert and post it up

 

[Rigsby]

He lives in Manchester and delivered to me in Sheffield in person. A bit far for you though Mr Brown. Is it pick up only? See if he can drop it off at mine again and I will post it on for you.

 

[richardbrown]

thanks rigsby thats great. I just e mailed the fella to see if he'll post it me failing that i'll try your option and square you up.

thanks

 

[theblones]

the hilti fixings are about 30 quid more a box browno not including the caps do you know if its worth doing it this way.
i will have it off you if it is

 

[richardbrown]

[Chris W]

I take is this guys barred from the local post office for some reason then? :RpS_blink:

 

[Chris W]

ah... Manchester.... that explains it... :rolleyes)

 

[Rigsby]

The fixings are expensive if you buy them online. I am well in with the local Hilti rep and can get them a lot cheaper off him. There are some copies on the market as well somewhere. The tool was a bargain so I got it. I can always convert it to a standard gun if my DX450 gets nicked. To convert a standard DX460 to a -IE the head is £100 + vat. I was going to buy a head then hire the gun as and when but I got mine for £125 cash so a complete gun for £5 more than the head.

 

[spunky]

What does it do?

 

[richardbrown]

fu cked if I know ... what else can this thing do rigsby?

 

[spunky]

surely it doesn't fire them into the wall? Does it have to be pre drilled

 

[Chris W]

bet it wont touch anything harder than a thermalite...

 

[richardbrown]

i have seen these things fire fixings into steel girders so im sure it'll piss a concrete block

 

[spunky]

How much is it per fixing compared to drill and fix?

 

[spunky]

Err if you do drill and fix them

 

[mark ross]

This is a superb piece of kit, we have used ours for fixing eml to underside of steel lintels( use the converter for steel washers) for lime render key... fixing track to screeds and concrete soffits, timber studs to steel .... very fast and effecient. :RpS_thumbup:

 

[bodplasterer]

I presume its just the same as a hilti gun than knocks masonry nails into concrete I had a ticket years ago to use them on site we had em to put eml on but they do give you a kick if they are set on full especially if they are brand new i had one straight in the chest one day takes a while to get your breath back.

Heres the you tube clip again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwR9PeYuYZs You use the same caps as a Hilti gun. different colours for different backgrounds. No power needed just press in and pull the trigger.

It also depends on who's paying for the fixings. These would be great for a no-fines house, Drill bits don't last 2 minutes on the Wimpey no-fines.

Hilti come to site to give demo/safety talk, then issue a one year card.

 

[Rigsby]

Whats the 1 year card for?

 

[mark ross]

Sorry, senior moment, we have also have a Spit 700e and a Spit 700p, The onsite training was for the Spits, our guys received full ITW training on site and were issued with a 2 year certified user card.

This put in place for H&S and insurance reasons.
