Triton Drills - Jack01 - 12-06-2016 Rockler is running attractive holiday special price on Triton drills. My old Dewalt cordless drill is on its at leg so I am looking to replace that. I have not seen lot of reviews on Triton drills, Is anyone have experience on Triton Drills ? RE: Triton Drills - Steve N - 12-07-2016 Guess I have never seen a Triton drill, but I have 3 of their routers, and for the prices they kick buttocks really well. I likie RE: Triton Drills - Steve N - 12-07-2016 I looked it up Is this the deal you saw? Like I need another set of cordless drills cha ching................Looked like a lot of bang for the buck. (2) 4.0Ah batteries Hammer Drill lithium-ion cells 1/2'' Sanou chuck All-metal gears Only thing I don't see is brushless, but I don't own any brushless tools, so I'm not sure if I am missing anything there.

I like the metal gear feature in this , plus a 4.0Ah battery RE: Triton Drills - Steve N - 12-09-2016 Hmmmmmmm A buck more gets you a third battery RE: Triton Drills - opticsguy - 12-10-2016 Keep in mind, are you only buying the drills? Or are you interested in a system? I got some super incredible deals on Milwaukee drills with extra batteries and have since purchased other tools to go with the battery system. The Milwaukee 7" saw is a real saw, impressive. The reciprocating saws, both the small and large versions also impressive. RE: Triton Drills - Cecil - 12-10-2016 I don't know anything about Triton, since I have been a Makita fan since I bought mine. There are some brands to avoid, but other than that, there are several good drill/drivers out there, besides Makita. With that said, I also Googled to find the Triton deal, and I found two prices at Rockler, $139 and $119 (plus change). The difference is a 4.0 Ah and 2.0 Ah batteries. Spend the extra $20 and get the better batter. That $20 will quickly pay for itself in time saved making trips to and waiting for the charger.

No both deals had batteries, the Rockler one gave two tools, and 2 batteries, the Peachtree one added a third 4Ah battery. I had been a Bosch fan, but in recent years have picked up both a 12v and an 18v Milwaukee set, but neither had near this level of Ah rating, both had plastic gears, and a hammer drill was a myth at this $$$$$$ amount. Having had awesome luck with 2 Triton routers I'm in for the entry price. Lord knows I've thrown $$$ at junk before, but I have a really good feeling about this deal. IMHO the Makita is the junk I referred to RE: Triton Drills - Steve N - 12-21-2016 Got my drill the other day. I think this is going to be ok. It is a heavyweight tool, no question about that. Reminds me of old Milwaukee, and Hilti. RE: Triton Drills - Jack01 - 12-22-2016 I picked up the drills 2 weeks ago My 1st reaction that I am impressed. The body is made of soft plastic-poly material , which is good on hand, it is also protective. in my 1st day of the use I dropped the drill about 7 feet and no scratch, dent or anything. The battery charge in 1/2 hour which is great , some of the lithium drills take s few hours to charge. The drill have 16 speed with low and high setting. it also have 3 modes, hammer, regular drill and drive mode to drive screws. I was not looking for hammer mode, which I probably not use it as I have a dedicated corded hammer drill, but nice to have the feature. The drill also have a safety feature, when you use it for longer period and if it is hot, it will shut off and be back on when cooled little. I tried this by using a dull 2.5 inch hole saw, it took a while to get hot. The impact driver is also good, it drove few 4 .5 inches screws into 6 inch beam without any hesitant. I paid $ 120 at Rockler and I am happy with the investment. I was reluctant to buy this as there were only couple of reviews and little known brand. |
