Comparison Note
The Leister TRIAC S is a legacy product that is no longer in production. It has been succeeded by the Leister TRIAC ST, which features an ergonomic handle made of a plastic and rubber composite (compared to the TRIAC S's plastic-only handle), is lighter, and incorporates state-of-the-art components. The TRIAC ST also has fewer spare parts, which can make some replacement parts less expensive than those for the TRIAC S.
