Titan multi-tool

[djbobbins]

Anyone got experience of a Titan multi-tool, the TTK587GDO one that Screwfix sell for £170?

 

I have got some “lovely” (not) overhanging leylandii from next door’s garden which I want to trim and no appetite to do it with normal hedge trimmers whilst standing on a ladder. I also have some weedy / waste ground area (only 50m2 or so) that I want to be able to keep on top of when Spring comes.

 

I get that the multi-tool probably isn’t going to do as good a job as a dedicated brush cutter and separate pole pruner / long reach hedge cutter, but I’m tempted as a practical compromise - unless someone tells me they’ve used one and they’re a PoS??

 

My thoughts on Titan as a brand are relatively positive based on the electric chainsaw I’ve got, but I don’t have experience of their petrol stuff...

I was in need of a new petrol strimmer. Looked at this one and bought it. All works as it should. Not as good as a dedicated long reach saw or hedge trimmer but for the price can’t fault it.

That’s kind of what I expected / hoped for, thanks

Had a titan 2 stroke hedge trimmer a while ago and worked OK just didn't have the grunt of a more well known brand's or the longevity. But for smaller gardens or one off jobs it was fine

One  other difference is cheap ones don't seem to have any anti vibe

I have a lot of Titan tools and generally happy. I bought the same multi tool a few years ago. Only lasted 2 seasons. Pole fastenings went. Now have a stihl.
So not knocking the brand, just the poles
