With big fuck off ones for DIY I can't help but feel it's one of those specific job purchases.
Ie you have a whole house to renovate so you deliberate endlessly over buying a decent one. Or you have a single use scenario like breaking up a concrete slab so you just buy that cheap hench Titan one from Screwfix.

I had a Titan-equivalent from back in the days when they were £50.
Burnt it out trying to remove concrete footings of fence posts. They are only rated at 8J per impact.
The Draper is (now) 25J, which is my limited experience is beyond a cohesive threshold of site mixed concrete.Given CYOA's hourly rate, with a spade chisel or scutch set, he will save the cost of the Draper on this wall alone, let alone the pain of bone bruises from a hammer/bolster attempt.
I'm certain that ^ would be a talking point in the Golf Club bar.
If you weren't way down west you could borrow this from me:

I sometimes need to remove concrete footings from around fence posts.
Hot knife through butter/non-dairy spread comes to mind.
