I found this a Masters in Rouse Hill. Looks like a good deal based on the price of the items individually.
I don't own any Triton tools yet, but they seem like pretty good quality. Anyone able to comment on their longevity?
The pack includes one battery and charger.
Haha, i still hear how good the triton workbench is everytime i visit the folks.
Yeah, the old Triton stuff was solid. Their routers are some of the best you can get south of a thousand bucks, and the power saw is a workhorse.
Sadly, the new stuff they pump out is dodgy rebadged chinese crap.
Any store or just your state/store?
I am not sure. This was seen at Rouse Hill in NSW.
Also in Springfield Central Store, Brisbane.
Its listed in their latest catalog, so guess its nationwide
As mentioned in the OP, this only has one battery pack (of small 1.3 Ah capacity).
Also it's only a standard 3-5 hour charger, not a quick charger.
Not sure where the "save $200" comes from, but such a kit is not worth $299.
Triton went broke a long time ago so maybe someone purchased the name to use on their tools. The original triton was an Aus innovative company that did a lot of research on the products it sold. Not sure where it is at now.
Is it available online
I took a chance and grabbed this… drill seems well built and it took to drilling a 6mm hole in brick no worries
I just picked one up and they scanned a 10% off woolworths receipt for me,
so price was $89.10,
then add 5% off giftcards,
price actually paid was $84.65
And I must admit it does feel comparable to other decent power tools I have owned (love the rubberised grip - much like my DeWalt in feel). The downside is definitely the small battery capacity and only 1 in the pack, but there are always options to get more later, or buy a better battery when this one dies in 2-3 years (I'm on my 3rd round of batteries with the DeWalt and replaced the brushes once - it's not got much left so this will be the replacement).
Went back to get another one today and the price has gone up (signs removed and price scans at $299). I said I heard it was $99 yesterday and they said yes it was a great price, and then offered to scan it for $99.
So if you ask nicely you can probably still get it - but officially it looks like this sale is over.
FYI.
I went back to Rouse Hill shop today. They still had about 20 on the shelf. Last week they had three large piles. They still showed $99.
Dad bought a Triton workbench more than 30 years ago and it's still going strong. They're probably not built like that anymore, but it looks like these come with a 3 year warranty so if it lasts even that long, it's not too bad these days. If I didn't already have this stuff I'd give it a go.
