i meant 240v and 110v cables at the same time dont want to go mad really only want it for one job ive got comeing up got to take down a shed got a hilti 905 but think that might be a bit big for that

dont mind spending a fair bit for a good tool though

Believe it or not, my mate bring bought the screwfix one 5 years ago, and its not only been faultless, but it has more power than my other mates kango

we have 2 of these but a lot of our work is breaking out masonry

that titan one seems more powerful but i am sure the extra 5kg would work against you if off the floor
the titan looks a good buy for your type of work michael

Usually im the first the slag off any cheap tools but a client of mine has a titan breaker and it was pretty good, not refined, not light and it will shake out your fillings but... It does the job time and again and only recently started spitting its brushes. He probably used it once a week for a year or so. It,ll last another few months them get thrown away. Ideal for a part time breaker

+1 for the cheap titan (although mine is badged as rockworth) busted out shed base's, ic chambers, coal bunker floors, concrete drive, footings. paid Â£120 for mine.
Soon as I have done the garage floor it will go on flee bay and i'll probably get Â£20-50 back.

think i might just use a big hammer

screwfix one looks good but its about the same as the hilti ive got think it might be a bit big to take down a wall ....

if you are looking for longevity the makita last well
current one is 2 years old,the last one lasted 5 years till someone kangoed the cord

when it comes to tools for a professional its pay cheap pay twice if not more, yeah they are disposable etc, i have a bq double mitre chop saw thats still going strong 10 years on, its great for simple jobs but its angels aren't true and its limited but it was Â£500 cheaper than our big bosch and a lot easier to move around, but when you earn your crust from them you need to know they are going to work day in day out and work 7 days a week for a week say. but if its just for the occasional use then get a cheap one, no point spunking a grand on a hilti to use it twice a year.

Worked for a pair of do as you likeys today, they had a small titan new out of the box, broke it after and hour... :rock:

As giles said There is always something to be said for buying quality once.

still on the look out for a decent one at a decent price though
