davidk Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Picked one of those up not too long ago to get the tiles up in preparation for our extension, impressed me (doesnt take much) and made short work of it and got them up relatively cleanly.

Onoff Posted August 21, 2020 Author Share Posted August 21, 2020 (edited) Suitably impressed with this Titan in that it cored over 600mm in concrete at 65mm dia. However...no reverse function which is a bit crazy not to have imo. Also it didn't come with a spare set of brushes. Also the front grip is a metal band type that grips rather than locking into notches. You really need that tight as the drill is a potential wrist buster!

The first time I jammed a bit and the clutch operated, I thought I had stripped the gearbox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProDave Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 My Titan SDS died on me on a job this morning. It had drilled several holes then it was just dead. not the brushes. A quick on site diagnosis found it was the trigger switch. It was a 2 pole switch and one pole has given up. Quick patch and it lives another day now working with a single pole switch. I wonder what the chances of finding a new switch are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Erbauor jigsaw did the same, no spares anywhere so I “grafted” another switch from a broken tool into it with araldite and it lives another day (there is wisdom in not throwing anything away ?).

ProDave Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Yes I do have two old broken electric drill on the "parts doner" pile, so I suspect with some adaptation one of their switches will do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
