Yeah, I did the same thing Tim and found nothing too...I could have sworn I saw them, but I am wondering if they are a knockoff or a watered down version or something. I can't see HD selling Titan brand. It's definitely not DIY type equipment. Anywho...maybe some other guys saw something.
Same here. My memory doesnt serve me well... on that note, it seems like I may have seen them at HD as well... sounds familiar... :001_huh:

Titan was bought by Wagner a year or two ago. Thats like when Ford bought Range Rover. HD has been selling the crap out of those little Wagner powershots for years, so my guess would be that Wagner threw together an HD spec Titan. That's a bummer. Probably has cheaper seals, bearings and filters (the stuff you can compromise on) but the same carcass and hose.

Yes
And they are de-spec'd
I'm not Mr. Spray, so I can't recall what exactly the difference is technically
But it is in the pumps
Like the "honda" engines in the Lawn Mowers at HD (de-spec'd crap engines from China w/honda label) NOT being the same engines in you greenskeeper's mower (they would laugh at you..ha ha ha), the pumps are (sorry if I mess this up) the "cheap diaphragm type", and not the type of pumps in the Titans at the Paint Store
Not even cheaper versions, but a different type all together
Basically, they are big cool-looking Wagner Wide Shots in real sprayer clothing

titan went incognito
that's a damn shame...I really hate the fact that Mr. HO is going to think he's the cats meow since he used the "same" machine I just did (so he thinks)
..yeah Tim, had the baby from 10p-1:30a last night to let the Mrs. get some good shuteye
normal bedtime before baby=10pm
normal bedtime after baby=whenever master Benjamin says

I agree...in reality though, the average homeowner isnt going to be able to figure out how to put the tip on a sprayer.
Another concern is that it cheapens our operation in their minds. When we come in with the real Titans, they think its the same $299 one they see at Depot and think its no big deal. Nothing is sacred anymore...

I bought one (titan form HD) well - it just quit on me and finally went down and got me a Graco Ultra 490 - awesome machine. The titans are cheap versions, I mean what are you going to get for $300-500? Cant wait for all my free Graco bucks tips and extention poles!
cheers

As usual my memory failed me.... All the HD's around here still carry Graco.

I saw the Home Depot Titan's for the first time today. I was happy to see that they didn't look the same as the real ones nor did they have the same model numbers.
For example, there were no 440's, 640's, etc. I think they were called 320, 420, etc. They were cheap looking and appropriately priced.

Ordered it from Spraymall.com--$75.00 rebate--Free shipping--It's a real Titan not a look alike knock off from HD--My cost--out the door $699.00 even. After researching airless units here and some there--I decided the Titan 440i was what I needed. Skid model=lowboy

True that! :thumbsup:
Why I bought the Titan
My X-7 Magnum sh_t the bed. Got all set up last week, primed the X-7 up, line was pressurized, gun and tip set for a nice day--yeah right--that sob started smoking--I mean literally smoking. I can't figure out why the breaker never tripped at the main box, but it didn't.
The motor is fried on the x-7--now to be honest, it went through a flood and was buried under 5 feet of water in 2006. Somehow, I got it back to life and it gave me one more year o life.
So--I broke the Mag 7 down, with a tears streaming down my face, looked at my stock of Dinty Moore and Chef Boyardi--then how much beer was left on the falling down back porch, and decided I needed to buy another airless. So, Peels will have to do for awhile.
Thanks for the hints on the Titan 440I. Use guys is why I bought it basically + I thought it a good price.

Home Depot does not carry Titan (that I know of) they carry SprayTech. I wish that they carried my favorite little finish sprayer by SprayTech but that is ok I get them from Miami on ebay. SPrayTech has good sprayers, maybe not as good as Titan but more affordable and they do a very nice job. I do a lot of cabinets and furniture in my business and I either use the finish sprayer below or I use the CS10000 which is an air assisted airless.
