Hilti warranty for power tools
The short version
Hilti covers power tools in full for 2 years, then keeps parts with manufacturing defects covered to 20 years. That full coverage is the same as most of the 45 brands we compared, which typically cover 2 years in full. You don't need to register to get this coverage.
From Hilti's published warranty, checked October 2026.
