Titan 440 Impact vs The Titan 410 Sprayer: Which One Is Better?

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

The Titan 440 Impact boasts an integrated oil reservoir with a push-button mechanism, allowing users to lubricate the pump packings simply by pressing the button. This contrasts with the Titan 410, which has a manual oil port where users must squirt oil in, making it difficult to gauge the fill level until overflow. While the 440's reservoir offers convenience, the presenter expresses skepticism about its sight glass, finding it too dark to accurately see the oil level. Despite this, the convenience of on-demand lubrication from the reservoir is a clear advantage over manual top-ups.

Goal: Compare the oiling mechanisms of the Titan 410 (manual) and 440 Impact (reservoir).

440 impact now i'm going to show you one of the features that i don't really care for don't like and that is the oil reservoir feature the 410 right here you just take a bottle of oil you just squirt it right here you have no idea whether it's it's full or not until the oil starts to spill out the face right here and then you know that your packing area is full of oil so you just squirt a little bit of oil in there and that's something you always want to do to maintain your sprayers keep them running properly you want to lube them every day this feature you don't have to go run out to your vehicle grab that bottle of oil because your oil right here you have a reservoir i'm going to fill this reservoir up i'm going to take a screwdriver undo this i can actually see if i can do undo with my thumb you're going to do it with a coin i don't have a screwdriver on me i'll use a key so there you have it you just release the lid now i'm just going to pour oil down right inside here and load that up full of oil now i have oil that's in this reservoir i do have a sight glass right here i gotta say that sight glass does not function for me at all when um i can never see in there it's so dark i can't tell you know where the oil is on that sight glass but i can look down to here and see whether it's full now once this reservoir is full all i got to do there's a push button right here this push button you push it and it's going to square oil down into your packings so i don't have to have oil with me every time i go to use my sprayer i'm just going to hit it two or three times that's going to lube the packing and you're ready to go your square is lubed what i don't like about it is i don't know if it's actually squirting anything in there or not i have no idea i just assume it is i assume the reservoir is full i can look down in there and if it's full i assume it's squirting oil in there and so i've like squirted squirted squirted and all of a sudden you'll eventually see it start once again pour down the face of your lower end then you actually know it's full i don't really care you know for this oil feature because i don't think the sight glass functions very well i never know whether it's full or not i just like to know exactly that i'm squirting some oil inside there and then i'm getting oil in my packings all right now i'm going to talk a little
