today I'm going to take a look at Triton Tools single and twin gang box cutters for plasterboard
what's happening now i'm on my own here at eFIXX we love products that save electricians time and
in a previous video, i took on joe with a pad saw against this here which is the Quadsaw in order
to cut single and twin boxes into plasterboard wolves and we suggested at the end of that video
the quad saw could save electrician's time however you as the viewers gave us feedback saying it
might save us time gas however for what it cost you didn't think it was justified therefore i
jumped online and went to an online retailer with next day delivery and got myself a couple of these
i got a twin and a single box from triton tools these are designed to cut the same hole sizes into
plasterboard to facilitate our one and two gang boxes so let's take a look at the tool in action
so let's fit the triton box cutter i'm going to remove my blade from my multi tool
as i would normally just pull the pin out for me drop my new box cutter in i found it easier
when i was doing these after i'd done a couple just put it on a slight angle i think it made
it easier for me just to also to keep out the way when i was recording it so there we go got
it into position so I can cut my single boxes out you'll notice that there are two tabs on it
as well to grip into the plasterboard to stop it moving around when you start the cutting process
as well so let's do a single box so designed for plasterboard only so wiggle as i go
i've got my gloves on goggles and masks there's gonna be a lot of dust created
and as you see i'm flexing it side to side as i go in order that i can cut it and clear the dust
plasterboard just at the same time so pop through we go we'll do a twin socket next so i've changed
it over exactly the same you see i've got a slight angle now i found it easier to do it like that
lots of people have said to me that when they're doing this they can destroy the back
of the plasterboard we'll look at the end and see what's happened to the back of it but here
we go so through with a twin one another option as well that was suggested online was just to start
the actual cutting process and finish it off with either a pad saw or a multi-tool blade we'll get
to that as well so if we got this one here in a twin socket box so it gave me the perfect shape
and then i just finish it off with my multi-tool itself i do fine with the multi-tool sometimes i
drift beyond the lines that i've marked on with pencil so just nip that through could have been
a pad saw um obviously it's easier we've got a multi-tool out just to use that just to clear that
push that one through of course i've got the option of using just the multi-tool so here we
go another one i can generally sometimes drift beyond the lines so i'm trying to keep it in as
best as i can there we go just slipped out the line there slightly again another option if you
want to use the multi-tool on its own but again the square cutters do give you the perfect size
next it's going to pop in a box so in this case draw a line box and it goes and then we'll have
a look at the back of the plasterboard i did find it a bit hit and miss so sometimes it weren't too
bad other times it destroyed more of it that's when i went straight through with a cutter
hopefully you can clearly see that we listened to your feedback there were some pros and cons
to using this triton tools cutter but i think if you had it in your toolbox and you used it maybe
only for that template it's going to give you the perfect twin and single box size
every time you go into that installation where you're cutting away at plasterboard
as always at efix we're interested in your feedback and this video illustrates
the fact we listen to that feedback so have you used these triton tools cutters before
are the blades any good do they last a long time something that we don't know at the moment
we're always interested in your feedback if you leave that feedback below we'll react
to it hopefully it'll help other people on the channel is there any other tools you'd like us
to look at maybe that come from a well-known online retailer that offer next day delivery
please leave those comments below and we'll try and get back to as many as we can
