Trojan Power Tools
Too hard to work with – This product requires massive force which make it very difficult to operate. Things become more difficult when you need to staple a narrow place. Not… Read more
recommended at all. The whole purpose of staple gun is to use less force not to get hand pain after use! Also it is not suitable for stapling from various angles.

Don’t even deserve 1 star. They didn’t work with the first cut! Absolutely useless. Paper scissors would’ve done a better job. Unfortunately I had already thrown out the receipt. Show details
I purchased this from Bunnings (the second cheapest 40mm+ blade width plane in store) to fix a warped/sticking garden door frame. For this job it… Read more
worked really well. Unfortunately, I didn't find the well hidden instructions until just now so it was a bit of a faff getting it set up as I haven't used a plane since school, 30 years ago! Note: I have only tested this on a treated pine door frame. I do not know how it fares on other wood types.
For the price, I feel this plane is a great addition to my amateur DIY toolkit, hence 4 stars!
What I like ======= * Use: Once set up it was easy to use and did not require too much force * Feel: Quite solid and doesn't feel excessively cheap * Price: Significantly less expensive than most of the planes in store * Handles: The soft touch handles are nice * Warranty: Lifetime warranty! Including (apparently) if the user breaks it! (I like companies that stand by their products) * Packaging: The packaging was easy to open and did not require tools to do so! (Thank you Trojan :-) ). It is also entirely recyclable! * Finished result: While I did not need the finish to be perfect (just needed to stop the door sticking). I was pleased by the final result. A quick sand down and coat of paint you wouldn't even know the job was done by a complete amateur! :-) * Setup: Simple enough (With instructions - do not accidentally throw them away!)
Room for improvement (In my opinion!) =============== * Instructions: The instructions were well hidden. They are folded up and tucked inside the cardboard insert that I mistook for rubbish. (Probably should have worn my glasses to open it!) * Setup: Tricky to set up without instructions (It does have instructions but the should be removed from packaging before disposal! Ahem, oops!). * MFT Website: Not yet on manufacturer website (trojantools.com.au)
