Demolition of walls with powered breakers is a back-breaking job. Those things are silly heavy that even trained athletes will wear out. That’s not to mention the risk of back injury is very real. This is where the Hilti EXO-T22 Wearable Construction Tool Balancer comes in.
Looking like a backpack but working like a superhero sidekick, the EXO-T22 helps take the weight of heavy tools—up to 37.5 pounds (17 kg)—and magically suspends them in what feels like zero gravity. It shifts the load down to your hips and the ground, so your upper body doesn’t have to cry uncle after every wall.
Powered by Hilti’s Nuron battery platform, it uses adaptive software to keep everything balanced and smooth. It’s great for over-shoulder drilling, chipping, or straight-up going to war with walls. The device itself weighs 17.1 pounds (7.8 kg), comes with a belt size of 70.9 inches (180 cm), and folds up nicely when not in use.
So yeah, if you want to feel like you’re breaking walls in low Earth orbit, you can grab one now for US$1,999. It’s cheaper than blowing out your back and moving into an ergonomic recliner for the rest of your life.
