A couple of months ago, I purchased a Hilti NUN54-22, a cordless crimper and cutter. Originally, I wanted to go for a device from Klauke as I am using Klauke compression cable lugs for most of the time anyway. But they only offered their tool with either Bosch or Makita batteries. And I did not want to start to invest into a new battery platform.
So, for me it was going to be only a tool from either Hilti or Milwaukee (the only manufacturers for battery powered tools I have). When I looked closer at the Hilti device, I found striking similarity to one of the Klauke devices offered. And the accessories like crimping dies seemed to be pretty much -well- identical, as well.
So, I asked my local Hilti sales manager what this was all about. Officially, no answer. But inofficially, the Hilti tool seemed to be a Klauke clone.
Soon after the purchase, after I realised that Hilti themselves only offered crimping dies for compression cable lugs, this came in really handy when I needed a crimping die for pre-rounding wire: the RU2210.
This made the Hilti tool so much more versatile.
For reference, here is a list of all K22 accessories, that are compatible with the Hilti tool: https://www.klauke.com/de/de/serie-22.
Note: this is certainly not supported by either Hilti nor Klauke.
