In October 2023, Hilti's new FX3-A wireless stud weld locking tool greatly reduced welding time. Compared with previous existing products, the tool can handle larger loads and thinner substrates, is 75% faster than traditional welding methods, and is a fully portable automation tool without power cords. This fastening method is also safer than traditional welding because it protects the user from heat and gas. Since it produces almost no sparks and splashing smoke, and does not require surface treatment by an angle grinder, it has more significant advantages from a health and safety point of view.
