My mate just bought the Titan and we’ve been using it to demolish a lean-to. We’ve both been impressed with it for the price, doesnt seem to miss a beat, and it came recommended by a tradesman he’d had in who claims to use them all day every day for a few years then replaces after the motor goes. Should be fine for DIYer

Nothing wrong with cheap drills, either of those would be fine for DIY.
The choice depends on what you’re going to be using it for.
If you’re mostly putting in plugs/fixings a 2kg drill is what you need, the extra weight of the ‘breaker’ rotary drill will be a total pain.
If you need to cut channels or do some heavier demolition get the bigger one.Check that whichever drill you get has 3 functions; drill, hammer drill, hammer.

I have the Titan one. Through my limited use it seems pretty good, came with a spare pair of brushes and an SDS to straight shank adapter which is useful. It is very substantial though
My thinking was that I'll use my combi drill for most stuff so the weight of the SDS will only be an occasional thing where it's required.
Any thoughts on the cheapest functional SDS?
Deciding on renting vs buying.
