Thread: Triton tra001 router

You will have to buy the whole switch. Toolsparesonline in the UK

Thanks for the info Chrism. Forwarded a message via the companies site regarding availability of a replacement switch assembly for the TRA001 Router.

regards Stewie;

Finally tracked down the USA manufacturer of Trition Tools, and the primary contact for ordering Triton spare parts.

Contact us

regards; Stewie Simpson.

I'm not sure why you would want to order spare parts from the US when you can get them very quickly from toolsparesonline (and others0 in the UK, as I advised above.

Chrism; I lost count of the emails I forwarded to toolspareonline UK. Never recieved a response, so I emailed the parent company in the US and recieved a response in 48hrs.

regards Stewie;

The site planemaker links to (Toolstream) says it is a wholesaler only. No retail sales. Their ‘spareparts’ tab in turn links to toolsparesonline so we’re talking about the same place. UK based (Somerset) although for US customers they have a warehouse in North Carolina.

Thanks Homey; you were spot on with Toolstream being a UK based Company.

regards Stewie;

Toolstream is sole distributor of more than 5,000 branded hand tools, power tools, fixings and adhesives to retailers, wholesalers and merchants throughout Europe. Brands include Silverline, Triton, GMC, Fixman, Task, Bench Dog, Magswitch, Kreg, Elmer’s and Krazy Glue. Based in Yeovil, Somerset, Toolstream operates from a purpose-built distribution centre. Since 1999, our philosophy of providing over 5,000 tools ex-stock at low prices has earned Toolstream an unrivalled industry reputation. All our tools are available for immediate despatch, and we deliver transparency through the extensive use of our web-based service.

The owner of Triton is Powerbox in the UK. Their distributor in the UK, and now presumably the US is Toolstream. But the official parts supplier is Toolsparesonline. Their odering system, if not their email response is first rate, except that their postage/shipping for larger/heavier items can be very expensive. Dennis Leverett (Triton Tools) can usually beat them on shipping costs once it goes outside of the postal system. Your switch would only cost STG 8.95 postage from either supplier.If you order a switch from the US of course you need to make sure its for a 240v router.

Chrism; appreciate the advise. Will follow up with the supplier to insure the parts are compatable with 240v.

The guy I am dealing with via emails is George Hawkins (Tool Spares Online)
