MAXTEC points and chisels for Hilti TE-S breakers
Hilti TE-S breakers are among the most widely used heavy duty demolition machines on UK construction sites. This MAXTEC range covers the three chisel and point profiles that handle the majority of breaking, chasing, and surface removal tasks: a 22mm point for concentrated breaking and mortar raking, a 30mm narrow chisel for chasing and controlled demolition, and a 75mm wide spade chisel for tile stripping, screed removal, and broad surface work. All three are manufactured from hardened steel for extra strength and reduced breakage under the repeated impact loads of TE-S breaker operation, and all fit directly into any Hilti TE-S machine without adapters.
Why choose the MAXTEC points and chisels for Hilti TE-S breakers
-
Hilti TE-S compatible shank: The TE-S shank profile fits directly and securely into all Hilti TE-S breaker machines. Correct shank fit ensures full percussion energy transfer from the machine into the working end of the chisel, which is what makes the difference between efficient breaking and a tool that rattles and slips.
-
Hardened steel body: Each point and chisel is manufactured from hardened steel specified for the high-cycle impact loading of heavy duty breaking and chiselling. Hardened steel resists mushrooming at the shank end and deformation at the working tip, both of which shorten the service life of cheaper alternatives.
-
Three variants for three distinct tasks: The 22mm point concentrates percussion energy into a small contact area for breaking hard concrete and raking mortar joints. The 30mm narrow chisel suits chasing for pipe and cable runs and controlled demolition where a wider cut is needed. The 75mm wide spade chisel covers tile stripping, screed lifting, and broad surface removal where maximum coverage per blow matters.
-
500mm working length: At 500mm, all three variants provide the reach needed for floor and wall work without requiring the operative to work in an awkward position close to the surface.
-
For use in chisel mode only: These are designed for hammer drills and breakers set to rotary stop (chisel mode). Using them in rotary hammer mode will damage both the tool and the machine.

Who is this for?
Groundworkers, demolition operatives, refurbishment contractors, and first fix trades who use Hilti TE-S breaker machines for breaking, chasing, and surface removal tasks on site. Suited to any operative who needs a reliable, cost-effective alternative to genuine Hilti accessories for their TE-S machine.
Typical applications by variant
-
22mm Point (HTE-22/500P): Breaking hard concrete, raking mortar joints, penetrating dense masonry, and starting controlled demolition in confined areas
-
30mm Narrow Chisel (HTE-30/500C): Chasing walls and floors for pipe and cable runs, controlled concrete demolition, cutting expansion joints, and trimming concrete edges
-
75mm Wide Spade Chisel (HTE-75/500SC): Stripping floor and wall tiles, lifting screed, removing render, chipping adhesive residue, and broad surface demolition
How to use
-
Insert the TE-S shank into the Hilti breaker chuck and lock securely.
-
Set the machine to chisel mode (rotary stop). Never use these tools in rotary hammer mode.
-
Position the tip on the work surface and apply steady forward pressure. Let the machine do the work: excessive force reduces efficiency and accelerates tip wear.
-
Work in short controlled bursts on tile and glazing removal to avoid cracking adjacent material.
-
On chasing work, score the chase line first with a disc cutter before using the narrow chisel to remove material cleanly.
-
Withdraw regularly on deep breaking work to clear debris and maintain visibility of the work area.
Safety
Wear safety glasses, hearing protection, and an FFP2 dust mask at all times. Heavy duty breaking generates significant airborne concrete and masonry dust containing respirable crystalline silica, controlled under COSHH. Wear anti-vibration gloves for extended use: TE-S breakers generate high levels of hand-arm vibration. Check for embedded services before breaking into any wall or floor. Never use in rotary mode.
Maintenance
Inspect the working tip and shank after each session. A mushroomed or deformed shank must be replaced immediately: a damaged shank will not lock securely in the chuck and can eject under load. Inspect the working tip for cracking or significant rounding. Clean the shank of concrete dust before reinserting into the machine. Store upright or in a tool bag with tip protection.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the Hilti TE-S shank and which machines does it fit?
A: The TE-S is Hilti's proprietary shank format for their heavy duty breaker range. It fits all Hilti TE-S designated breaker machines including the TE 905, TE 1000, TE 1500, and other models in the TE-S series. These MAXTEC points and chisels are manufactured to the TE-S shank specification and fit directly into any of these machines without modification.
Q: Which variant do I need for chasing walls for cables and pipes?
A: The 30mm narrow chisel (HTE-30/500C) is the correct choice for chasing. The 30mm width produces a clean chase suitable for standard conduit and pipe sizes. For best results, score the chase line with a disc cutter first, then use the narrow chisel to remove the material between the scored lines.
Q: Which variant do I need for stripping floor tiles?
A: The 75mm wide spade chisel (HTE-75/500SC) is the correct choice for tile stripping. The wide blade covers more surface area per blow and gets under the tile bond more effectively than a narrow chisel. Work at a low angle to the floor surface and use short controlled bursts to avoid cracking the substrate.
Q: Can I use these on an SDS Plus or SDS Max machine?
A: No. The TE-S shank is specific to Hilti TE-S breaker machines and is not compatible with SDS Plus or SDS Max chucks. Using the wrong shank in any machine risks damage to both the tool and the chuck. Always confirm your machine's shank specification before ordering.
Q: Do I need to use the machine in a specific mode?
A: Yes. All three variants must be used in chisel mode only, which is the rotary stop setting on your Hilti breaker. This disengages the rotary mechanism and delivers pure percussion. Using these tools in rotary hammer mode will damage both the chisel and the machine chuck.
Q: How do I know when a chisel or point needs replacing?
A: Replace immediately if the shank shows mushrooming or deformation at the collar, as a damaged shank will not lock securely and can eject under load. Replace the working tip if it shows significant rounding, cracking, or if breaking efficiency has dropped noticeably. A blunt tip transfers less energy into the material and increases operator fatigue.
Q: Where can I order these and what are the delivery options?
A: All three variants are available at cmt.co.uk. CMT Group operates a fleet of over 100 vehicles covering 90% of the UK mainland with next working day delivery on orders placed by 7pm online. Trade accounts and EDGE portal ordering are available for procurement teams requiring agreed pricing and full order visibility.
