Anyone else ditching the corded drills for the Hilti SF 6H-A22 on Ipe?

I finally pulled the trigger on the Hilti SF 6H-A22 for my crew after burning through two high-end brushless drill/drivers on a 400sqft Ipe job last month. Honestly, the Active Torque Control is a game changer when you are hitting those pre-drilled holes in 5/4 density. It keeps the driver from whipping your wrist if the bit snags on a stubborn knot. It runs about $350 for the tool body, but considering I was wasting an hour a day just swapping batteries and waiting for them to cool down in this Florida heat, it paid for itself in one week. Does anyone have feedback on how these hold up to the fine, oily dust from sanding down Cumaru or Tigerwood long-term? I’m worried about the motor intake clogging, though the Hilti seems sealed tighter than my old DeWalts.

Derek Fontaine here. I switched the crew over to the Hilti SF 6H-A22 last season on a massive Cumaru deck project. Regarding that fine, oily dust, you’re right to be concerned. I started blowing out the intakes with compressed air every lunch break, which keeps the electronics cool and prevents that oily gunk from caking up the motor housing. I’ve seen some guys hit the intake with a small piece of mesh screen to filter the big stuff, but the stock sealing is definitely tighter than the yellow brands. If you keep the vent clean, that Hilti will outlast any drill on the market.
