What makes Nuron different is that it goes beyond just powering the tool. It offers real-time tool tracking, diagnostics, and fleet management—and the best part? You don’t have to do anything extra. Just pop the battery on the tool, and all that data is transmitted when it charges. No extra modules, no app juggling—it just works. (We break it all down in more detail in our full Nuron battery article—definitely worth checking out.)
This close-up gives you a good look at the control layout, and Hilti nailed the design here. You’ve got the power button right at the bottom, a responsive trigger just under the handle, cruise control on the left side, and a turbo button up top. Everything is right where your thumb and fingers naturally land, making it super easy to operate without shifting your grip or fumbling around.
The handle is exactly what you want in a jobsite tool—contoured, comfortable, and built to fit any hand size. The rubber overmold provides excellent grip, even if your hands are sweaty or dirty. It’s also roomy enough to operate with gloves on, which is a big win for cold mornings or demo days.
One of the smarter design choices on the NBL 6-22 is the rear air intake. Instead of pulling air in from the side—like a lot of other blowers do—Hilti engineered this one to draw air in from the back. That means it’s not trying to suck your shirt in or stick to your side while you’re working. It’s a small detail, but if you’ve ever fought with a blower clinging to your clothes, you’ll appreciate this immediately.
There is a quick release button so you can disconnect the blower tube for storage or transport. There is also a spot where you can connect a shoulder strap if you will be using this for extended periods of time.
This slideshow highlights one of the best features of the Hilti NBL 6-22—the adjustable blower tube. With a quick twist of the red locking sleeve, you can extend or shorten the tube depending on what you’re working on. Keep it tight for close-up control or extend it out to reach farther without bending over. It’s incredibly easy to adjust on the fly, and it really adds to the versatility of the tool.
Pair that with the performance—460 CFM of air volume at 119 MPH—and you’ve got a blower that doesn’t just look good on paper. It moves serious air and gives you the flexibility to control it exactly how you need it.
At the end of the blower tube, you’ll find a metal-reinforced tip, which is a smart touch for a tool built to live on the jobsite. This added protection helps prevent cracking, chipping, or wear when the tube inevitably bumps into concrete, steel, or other rough surfaces.
Hilti NBL 6-22 Cordless Blower Performance
We put the Hilti NBL 6-22 through a real-world test, and while blowing leaves might not sound impressive, it’s all about the type of leaves. These weren’t freshly fallen or dry leaves. These were wet, matted-down leaves that had been sitting under snow all winter, packed in and stuck to the grass. That kind of debris is usually a pain to move, even with some of the bigger blowers out there.
But the NBL 6-22 handled it with no problem. It had the power to lift and clear those soggy leaves off a concrete slab and grass without hesitation. If it can handle that, you can trust it to tackle dust, debris, plastic scraps, or whatever else your jobsite throws at it.
