I bought this cool Triton Palm Planner a while ago and have used it about a dozen times.   Triton makes good solid, accurate tools.   However, holding both switches to keep it running was a real pain!  Actually probably less safe because I used two hands to get switches down!   Last time I used it I decided the heck with it!!   I just put it on Craig's List and will buy the DeWalt 20Volt planner!!

I own quite a few Triton tools.They are all well built & bulletproof with inbuilt reliability at a better price than the big name brands.I have been using Triton tools for years with no problems with any of them, so much so that they are my first choice for any type of tool I require.Contrary to some reviews,this palm sander is very easy to use with no problems with the switch ergonomics.

This palm planer was just whatI was looking for. So handy. Yes, it's quite heavy and there is a knack to handling it but it doesn't take long to get the hang of it. I'm in my eighties and no muscle man but soon found how to use its weight to work safely and accurately. It leaves a very smooth surface, My first trial was a 38mm piece of rosewood and one pass left a perfectly smooth and glossy finish, Beautiful! If you have the work for this plane, you won't be disappointed.

Lovely piece of kit. David George - 25/01/2020

Door de bank genomen een prachtig klein machientje die zeer goed zijn werk doet. Heb hem al veel gebruikt. Super, Helaas net te groot om zonder kramp in de pols/zadelgewricht met een hand te bedienen. (heb niet de kleinste handen) Ook is de dikte afstelknop een keertje tijdens het werk eraf gegaan. Na wat gepuzzel weer in elkaar gezet, maar ik denk dat ik een klein onderdeeltje (kogeltje) kwijt ben.

Net te groot om echt klein en handig te zijn J.Bruijnis - 23/10/2018

Palm Planer works as expected. It has a nice edge beveling feature that was unexpected.

A little under power Hard to hold with small hands The on off switch does not stay locked on at times

Cabinetmaker Howie Robertson - 29/01/2018

Well balance easy to use

Nice to handle well balance

Little belt sander Paul T Erdmann - 16/01/2018

I use the planer for small works, where it is proven to be a good tool. All though it is a bit heavy and I really hate the on/off switch, because one has to press it all the time and it is located oddly too far from the grip.

Handy item with poor swithch Timo Saarno - 02/01/2018

Quite handy little planer. I´ve done many jobs to which I used to use a full size electric planer. It has enough power and handles corners very well. I would appreciate a better, read: normal, on/off switch than this one which requires constant pressure. 4/5 stars because of that.

Does bigger things than it looks Timo Saarno - 19/12/2017

Bought this Planer for a quick small finishing jobs. It really does the work as promised. I have noticed that my other planers stay mainly in the shelf. What I would appreciate for the next generation is even better grab and an true on/off switch. Using this one has to have long fingers or a big hand and holding on the power switch makes the use a bit tricky.

Nice and handy Palm Planer Timo Saarno - 29/11/2017

Great bit of kit blades need adjusting before you use nice grip bit bigger than I though feels solid and cuts well

Great little tool Mark Harris - 22/11/2017

Planer is difficult to hold and keep the planer running - a lock-on switch would make it easier, although extra care would have to be taken when using it to avoid accidents.

Après la lamelleuse le rabot de paume et toujours satisfait de mes achats j'ai l'intention de changer tout mon outillage électrique pour cette marque bravo très bonne qualité

Deuxième achats Duforet Jean Luc - 13/09/2017

Good tool but being left handed not so easy to use its a good job that I can use my right hand to operate it otherwise it would be impossible to use? Why don't you offer a choise of left-handed?

Bosch went in the bin

420W Compact Palm Planer Paul - 06/01/2017

Tool could be designed better. The run button requires too much pressure to maintain the tool in the running position.

420W Compact Palm Planer Jerold - 01/09/2016

The idea is good, and the plane works well, but it doesn't really fit any planing role for me. It's too awkwardly heavy to use in place of a block plane, has too short a 'snout' to be stable for tenon work or on narrow edge surfaces. and too long a 'snout' to use as a chisel or bullnose plane. More thought ought to have gone into its application during its design period. Perhaps if it had a narrower footprint?

Can't find a role for it Thomas Waldenthal - 01/08/2016
