Titan? Anyone? Titan? Bueller? Anyone know about the Titan?

Let me get this out of the way and say I am not going to purchase one, I was just browsing around KellyCo, and they are advertising the Titan series from First Texas (owners of Bounty Hunter and Fishers).
Prices seem OK, but the detectors themselves look cheap and very much like a redone version of the Discovery series Bounty Hunters.

Anyone know anything about these?

May just be a relabel of one of the BH models. I seem to recall that K'Co. had some "Titan" units made for them by Wilson or Wilson-Neuman years ago, so maybe Titan is one of their house brands.

I've never used one of these but the pictures look just like the Chinese models I've seen. I think some are being sold on ebay for like $150.

But maybe these are U.S. made? I couldn't tell you that. Maybe contact KellyCo and ask if they're an import*

*To be labeled "MADE IN THE USA" all they have to do is assemble a product here. This may involve only putting the electronics into the case and attaching the model name.


If imported than just look for the machines on ebay that look the same. They're all pretty much the same.

If you want you can often get these direct from China for about 1/5 the U.S. retail price.

One more thing, while the China made machines are cheaper looking and some are more cheaply made, most are very rugged and last a long time.

Badger,
I have no intention of buying one, they just look exactly like a Discovery, only different colors.

This is the 3300 vs the 3000xp:

ANd here is the discovery 2200 vs titan 2000xd:

To me, they both have China written all over them.

They make these and put whatever face on them the importer wants.

Yes, that was mentioned in the first post I made, I just wanted to point out to everyone it is the exact same machine.
