Well you got me there; I did wonder on their name too; but relied on a
link listing them as a US Corp; just onshore I guess... Their US name is
nearly exclusively associated with ramset products here though.

I wasn't aware they made things like that, as I've only seen their electric
(and I think some pneumatic stuff?) stuff. But then I'm not in the
construction trade myself.
I any case a Hilti is a ****-off big power tool of some sort.

May depend on the trade, we always associated Hilti with hammer drills.
SImilarly Milwaukee is associated with both hammer and regular rotary
drills. We always associated Hilti with Switzerland.
