The large model weighs 2.4 kg, which is relatively light compared to other back- and arm-supported models.Like most tools, it does not use a battery or motor. Its practical and user-friendly design is specifically engineered to make carrying, adjusting, and cleaning as simple and quick as possible, suitable for most construction conditions. For added comfort, you can opt for a neck support that can be attached to provide additional relief during strenuous work at heights. The Hilti EXO S is priced at around 1,990 EUR.

Test for the Hilti Exo-S L- and
The Exo-S arm has performed very well in tests. Studies have shown that the Hilti Exo S has reduced:
31% of the muscle activity in the left arm in the corneal region;
25% of the muscle activity in the left arm in the area of the clavicle;
35% of muscle activity in the right arm, in the coracoid region.
There is also a 5% increase in the number of screws placed precisely thanks to the Hilti Exo-S arm. As a result, work time is also increased. During work, the Hilti Exo-S transfers the weight from the arms to the hips. This mechanism is effective thanks to an integrated cable system. The cables extend along the back before connecting to the harness around the waist. Thus, as soon as you raise your arms, the cables are automatically activated and distribute the weight, reducing the pressure on your shoulders and arms.During a one-day test, a significant reduction in perceived fatigue in the upper limbs (shoulders and arms) was observed at the end of the day. In summary, the Hilti Exo-S has proven its worth. Wearing this device significantly reduces fatigue, giving you the feeling of gaining extra strength and performing repetitive tasks without discomfort or fatigue. Is the right for you?
