Ya i have the Hilti setup drill, circular saw and the sawzall will be here soon. I also have a Bosch set. The Hilti is far superior to the Bosch as far as power goes. The Hilti has a 7 1/4 blade, and the Bosch 6 1/2. The Bosch however has a cutting range that equals the 7 1/4.
I agree though NOOOOO WWWAAAAYYYY is DeFault even close. Ya they have a 7 1/4 but it is like childs toy when compared to the Hilti 7 1/4, even the Bosch for that matter. #1. Hilti (but you will pay out the a$$) #2. Bosch (Now carries a 3 year warranty)

Oh and go with the Fat packs instead of the Slim packs if you go Bosch. The Fat packs have more power than the Slim Packs. Even though i hear the slims are lighter.

I had the 36volt drill awhile back but sold it. Not because I didn't like it, but because I like my Pannys better. I will say though, that drill had crazy torque.

I actually agree with you on this one... Hilti does make the best cordless tools
still not enough to justify the price... I'm sticking with my DeWalt 36v
and no the circ saw is definitely not a child's toy

Hilti Tools
As a former Hilti employee and very fimiliar with Hilti's system, their equipment has some very outstanding features.  But, and I emphasize but. If you need to add accessories or need to have the item repaired, it will be costly and only through Hilit or an authorized repair center. Both time and money. 
Another thing that Hilti will do is obsolete a new tool fairly soon after it has come out. Not of all tools but has done so in the past. 
Good luck and be aware

i heard about this torqe you speak of, they had to recall it because it was breaking wrists do to being unbalanced.
another thing is, is it just me or are the 36v just a bigger battery as in 2x a 18 v ni-cad where as default says its lith tech, cuz ive used the milwaukee v28 and its smaller and lighter
