Notes

Hilti's TE 6-22 Nuron SDS-Plus rotary hammer is designed for frequent anchor holes and light chipping. A "service" light or performance drop can be caused by worn internal seals, depleted grease, or a chuck/bit-retention issue; those are often serviceable, especially for pros already using Hilti support.

Repair tends to be the right call when the tool hasn't lost impact energy permanently and the cost stays well below the threshold. Replace (or consider a newer platform) when the tool has chronic seal leaks, repeated overheating/shutdown, or major internal wear (piston/striker damage) that drives labor and parts costs up.

Price used is a typical tool-only retail price for the TE 6-22 class; kits with batteries and chargers are higher.
