Yeah, on the subject of Screwshit. They are worth watching!!😡😡
I ordered an item from them & paid by card, the item to be picked up the following day, from their Branch. So I took all my other items at the time & intended to go in the following day for the outstanding item.
Went in next door to Toolstation, they had the item in stock. So I purchased it there. Went back into SF & cancelled the item, but the guy told me ‘oh you’ll need to wait for a refund when the item arrives tomorrow, you’ll get a Text. Come back in with your Card & you’ll get a refund’. Fair enough I thought & I did get a Text the next day, but forgot & didn’t go in until today.
They were very not interested & though it was OK to hold onto my cash & just deducted the amount off my Titan drill order. Now, anyone could forget about it & these cunts have your money!!

yea dick I bought one of those and it served me well, so well that after much use and abuse it let me down after 18 months, It has a 2 year warrantee so I took it back and shitfix gave me a brand new replacement and I had that till retirement and gave it to plumberboy and as far as i know, its still working so,It was/is a good value tool, Now shitfix have gone into a new level of pissing me off, I went into a branch this week and the books have gone so now you need to go on a high techo screen and find what you need and, that is a ' bridge too far' for me,,,,FFS a 71 year old plumber can't cope with that

There’s a lot of guys no longer shopping at Screwshit because of these Tablets being introduced Tom. People just go to Toolstation, where they still have books👍👍
Thanks for your confirmation about the drill👍👍

can't praise those drill highly enough, the main use for mine was core drilling for boiler flue holes, there are not recommended by the manufacturer to do them but, they do and do them well,

When I replaced my dads bath with a full size shower tray in 2022, I used my Titan drill with a 45mm core bit to drill the hole through the wall for the waste. Great drill. Had mine for many years.

Used it yesterday for he first time. Great!! Whizzed through a 127mm hole. I’m a little disappointed with the SDS Chuck on it, some bits just don’t fit in it & others can be just pulled right out!! The Chuck was greased up etc. I’ve used lots of SDS Guns, but the Titan is a tight as a Nun’s cunt!!
Im considering taking it back, as it’s an issue I’ve never experienced!!
