Titan 2nd Fix Nail Gun Review: Affordable and Effective?

Review of Screwfix TITAN TTB517STP 32MM SECOND FIX ELECTRIC NAIL GUN / STAPLER 240V

[@sharonmc5192]

I have one of these and agreed with what you say. I would love a fancier NG but bought this purely due to budget constraints. Thanks for the review

[@TheDiligentDIYer1759]

Thanks for watching!

[@philhario3640]

Very nice thorough review. One point worth making is that some people have taken to removing the rubber and safety, which allows for much better shooting in awkward places. However I agree with you that in skirting, you can do quite a bit of damage on curved areas.

[@TheDiligentDIYer1759]

Yes good point. Thanks for watching!

[@tureq85]

great review, clearly explained this is a budget nail gun mostly suited to DIY jobs!

Bought a used Clarke Bandit compressor with pinner/stapler,and very pleased with it.

[@TheDiligentDIYer1759]

Glad to hear it, thanks for watching!

Thank you helped a lot 👌

[@TheDiligentDIYer1759]

Glad it helped!

[@ak2010utube]

Thanks for the review. It seems ita a bit bobbins 😃really as the nails are either proud or damge the surface

[@TheDiligentDIYer1759]

Depends on your budget really. Thanks for watching!

Would not recommend this model. Get the TTB516NAL if you are after a nailgun. this has a wide hammer for the staples so I found when nailing something it would leave a 3-4mm mark. Not ideal. the 516 hammer should only be as wide as the nail head

[@TheDiligentDIYer1759]

Yes good point, thanks for watching!

[@Humobdbdnsksksksk]

Could this be used to pin 15mm wooden panels onto a plasterboard wall? It’s been glued but just for extra grip

[@TheDiligentDIYer1759]

Yes combined with the glue it should be sufficient. Thanks for watching!

[@johnrutherford4042]

Even tho its got 32mm on it it won't fire them ive got one had it for a few years and still does not fire the 32mm

[@TheDiligentDIYer1759]

Personally I’ve not had an issue. Thanks for watching!

[@Brick_dont_hit_back]

Will this be good for timber clading where you need to get to this groves?

[@TheDiligentDIYer1759]

Not sure if you’d get the head of the gun into the grove very easily

[@Vlad_Pa]

I need a nailer for skirting board to a wall , what could u recommend?

[@TheDiligentDIYer1759]

Depends on the thickness of the board and what you’re going into. The dewalt second fix is most versatile though.

[@FaizAli-wg4zo]

You recommend dewalt nail gun, which model?

[@FaizAli-wg4zo]

Or what would you recommend for around £100

[@TheDiligentDIYer1759]

Dewalt second fix, only one version they do. For £100 best going for the titan I’d say

[@canisferus]

I avoid everything that is corded. The only corded tool I do recommend is metabo chaser.

[@TheDiligentDIYer1759]

Thanks for watching!

[@lanegary78]

Will it go into wood into concrete wall?

[@TheDiligentDIYer1759]

Probably not, it might hold the wood on there long enough for adhesive to go off though. Thanks for watching!

[@sammycool77]

10 months on and its now £55.99

[@TheDiligentDIYer1759]

That’s a huge increase! Not sure it’s worth that amount. Thanks for watching!

[@sammycool77]

Indeed. I went straight over after seeing your video thinking ill get one at that price lol@@TheDiligentDIYer1759

[@irishRocker1]

@@TheDiligentDIYer1759 I see a TTB961NAL on screwfix now for cheaper. Is this one going out of production or something? I can't find any info on the release date to see if that 961 is a newer version

[@robstarmer1957]

Can i put 32mm in as show you can but say on box a 25mm

[@TheDiligentDIYer1759]

Yeah i don’t know why the box says differently. Thanks for watching!

[@fiacgaffney4741]

Will it put in 50 mm nails in to block

[@TheDiligentDIYer1759]

Not a chance unfortunately, thanks for watching!

[@albertfartstein]

Does any body know if you can use regular staples in them the ones you get in them cheap hand staplers Thanks

[@TheDiligentDIYer1759]

I think regular staples would jam it as they are too thin, you need the gauge designed for the gun. Thanks for watching!

[@wackadakka3134]

no , they are a different shape

[@frank1672]

It looks naff to me!

[@TheDiligentDIYer1759]

Thanks for watching

[@TheOffroader7458]

I brought one, you get what you pay for. Not very good
