  • Never owned cordless so can't say. But if you're South of the river, you can borrow my corded for free for as long as you need.

  • I was looking for a power comparison, ie watts. I don’t know much about impact drills but I assume you want a powerful one. The makita doesn’t seem to list wattage. They do both list “impact energy” - Makita: 2J, Titan: 8J.

    In short I’d buy the corded one unless I needed to use it in the middle of a field

  • The Titan with a higher impact energy will be far more useful for demo work.

  • How serious about the concrete?

    I have a Makita and rate it super highly for wood, brick, plasterboard, etc. Did over 70 holes a few months back into brick and the battery held up for the whole time and there were no issues with capability to drill into bricks of varying age and density.

    But concrete... I'd probably want to watch a few YouTube videos on how it performs before betting on it.

    In all other respects I love the cordless. I've done a good amount of work with the power out, and for me there have been more occasions with no power supply than occasions where the cordless felt challenged (that's currently zero for me, but I haven't drilled concrete yet).
