Major difference? Go with the titan?

Titan is a beast

[u/benjm88 → u/windtrees7791]

I have the titan, it is a beast. Heavy, almost indestructible, not a precise tool but great for tearing down walls and core drilling

[u/Pukit → u/windtrees7791]

Absolutely. My Titan is 20years old. Never misses a beat when I need it. I had a builder in to do an extension and got him to drop a chimney for me, only after one floor he had gone through his four dewalt batteries on his battery sds and asked if I had one.

He did the rest with my old beast of a Titan and decided to get one in for his van.

[u/cre8urusername]

Get the Titan, and start lifting weights because that thing is heavy af

[u/BoxAlternative9024]

I cut the England to France section of the channel tunnel with mine and it’s still going strong. 💪

[u/DrakeManley]

Had the Titan one for more than 5 years, it's used heavily on a variety of tasks and I would never swap it.

My colleague doesn't rate my SDS. over the last 5 years he has bought and destroyed at least 4 other SDS drills and I'm still on the same one.

It will probably outlast me.

[u/StunningAppeal1274]

Yup Titan. Will come with some warranty and Screwfix won’t quibble. They are good. Great for breaking. Try and do the same with some Online company.

[u/Backdoor__Burglar]

Titan.

[u/thebritishgoblin]

Titans are great, cored a flue through a flint wall with no problem. (Bar the nightmare sparks and red hot flint)

[u/Pyriel → u/thebritishgoblin]

Similar, cut a 110mm core through a 6" concrete block to fit a vent fan.

Wasn't fast, but it didn't struggle in the slightest.

[u/thebritishgoblin → u/Pyriel]

Oh yeah mine wasn’t fast by no means, and the clutch kicking in still makes my arsehole twitch but it’s not an effort.

[u/narbss]

Titan. Bare in mind, I’d only really use it for demo work and really heavy duty drilling that doesn’t really care about hole size accuracy. Don’t use it for a 6mm hole to hang a shelf basically.

They are very heavy, and very loud. Make sure you use hearing protection.

[u/danblez]

I love getting the titan out when all else has failed, muttering under my breath “right you fucking bastard”. Not failed me yet.

[u/EnormousMycoprotein]

If the titan breaks, Screwfix will replace the titan on the spot and without quibble.Seems unlikely that "tool force" will do the same.

I've got the titan SDS drill and it's an absolute beast.

[u/siguel_manchez → u/EnormousMycoprotein]

Screwfix really are top notch when it comes to returns like this. I've never had an issue and I've bought thousands from them over the years with my house renovation.

[u/EnormousMycoprotein → u/siguel_manchez]

I only realised just how good Screwfix were when I tried to take something back to Selco!

[u/nil-pholan]

Love my Titan. It's a tank. I'd take it over any 'prosumer' brand any day of the week.

[u/BrokenNotFractured]

Titan is solid! Have been using it for multiple projects. Really like the speed adjust when using the hammer setting.

[u/ethanxp2]

I've got the titan and it's awesome. Used it with a chisel to smash up a concrete slab and it did very well. I did have a proper road breaker too, but two people made faster work!

[u/Vivid_Way_1125]

The titan is actually a pretty good and heavily built tool. I've got one and think it's great, if not a little heavy.

[u/lordllaregub]

Have you checked out their refurbs? I have one and it appeared pretty new https://www.screwfix.com/p/refurb-titan-ttb571sds-7-7kg-electric-sds-max-drill-230-240v/682hy

Get some lithium grease with whatever one you choose, for the gearbox and the chuck.

[u/Ynoxz]

What do you want the drill for? I’ve got the Titan (although only paid about 70 quid for it). It’s too heavy for most stuff - I use it primarily as a breaker. Got a smaller Bosch SDS I use for drilling holes.

But out of these 2, Titan for me.

[u/Sgt_Sillybollocks]

I bought the titan as an emergency replacement as my previous SDS shit the bed in the middle of a job. It's a beast. Managed to drill a hole through space and time with it.

Seriously though. It's a decent bit of kit.

[u/SpartanG188]

Titan are good. Also Screwfix customer service is good.

[u/rly_weird_guy]

The cheaper titan one is great too

[u/hakko1999]

I have the Titan one, is decent enough

[u/Ornery-Vanilla-7410]

That titan drill goes through stone like butter

[u/max22Unique799]

Titan had mine for years and will tackle anything

[u/Sufficient_Cat9205]

I've also got the titan, still going after years of abuse.

[u/buildingatrap]

I have that Titan SDS and it's been great.

[u/Eye-on-Springfield]

You can get the Draper one at Toolstation if you're worried about warranties

[u/ChrisN133]

I’ve got the titan proper workhorse and it did break so took back to Screwfix and swapped no issues at all

[u/Kim-Jong-Long-Dong]

Honestly titan. Used mine as a breaker and sds, works great and they hold up well overtime. Also screwfix doesn't care about them, they're so cheap to make it's easier for them to just exchange them no questions asked than quibble.

[u/Forceptz]

My very DIY competent friend and colleague swears by Titan. I have a few bits and they're good.

[u/PintOfGuinness]

The titan hammer mode stopped working after 2 uses for me. Common issue in reviews, 2 year warranty though

[u/Shoes__Buttback]

Titan. I have the one down from that, the 3.27kg SDS, and it can drill, chase, core walls, and even break concrete paths at a push. The one you've pictured should handle anything you can throw at it until the heat death of the universe.

[u/bobbybal_f]

Titan. Whenever nothing works, my titan does. It's just crazy heavy

[u/Startinezzz]

You'll never go wrong with Titan. Built for heavy site work

[u/Earth_to_Sabbath]

I bought that, kicks ass. Just make sure you read the instructions on how to install bits

[u/dwair]

I have a Titan grinder and it's cheap, nasty and a bit scary to use.

I borrowed a Titan breaker and it was phenomenal at breaking up 12" reinforced concrete. It went through it like a hot knife through butter.

I think for the price Titan will do the job but they do lack any finesse (also the cables could do with being a meter longer)

[u/fester]

Titan. As good as any other and far cheaper. I was just using mine today to drill engineering brick, absolute beast of a drill. I've abused it in all sorts of manners over the years and it's still going strong. The accessory set is pretty decent as well, I've never had to buy another masonry bit.

[u/morgano]

A family friend has lent us that Titan as I only had a cordless SDS. It’s been a beast. I’ve opened up 5 fireplaces in our house - full of bricks, each one many hours of hammering and that thing hasn’t overheated or failed the entire time. Covered in dust no issues.

[u/ultrafunkmiester]

Also good point about corded tools. If you work on site all day then yay cordless. If you work at home get corded tools, I've some 20+ years old and I pull them out do thier thing and the next time I need a buscuit jointer, electric plane/sanser/grinder I know it will just work. Battery tools won't. A few tools are useful battery, drill diver, impact etc but most rarely used tools for a diy person, get corded.

[u/SarunasBabonas]

Not impressed with titan. They are made for screwfix only so cannot get any spares if it breaks down after the 2 year warranty. Mine packed up just outside of it and srewfix pretty much told me to bin it.

Wouldnt buy again just for that reason.

[u/_SoupDragon → u/SarunasBabonas]

what did you but to replace it?

[u/SarunasBabonas → u/_SoupDragon]

Norhing yet, its only happened in the last few weeks so havent needed an sds yet. I was looking at dewalts as a replacement because the rest of my kit is dewalt but of course they are much much pricier.

[u/AlligatorHater22]

I have the Titan, heavy bit of kit - may need to consider some smaller bits but it will punch holes through wall/brick/stone no worries.

[u/IndelibleIguana]

Titan stuff is really good.
