My stepson (Mike.C to those who know him) is due to finish a contract in the US at the end of february and he will be coming back to the UK soon after.
While over there he has been to a few woodworking shows where he has found some big named power tools at up to 50% cheaper then over here. My question is could these tools be used over here with some sort of converter? If so would the cost of any converter outweigh the saving on these tools?
He has seen 110 volt on some of these tools. Is this the same as the 110 volt that is used on building sites over here? if so with a different plug would he be able to power a US tool with the yellow box type converter that are used on these sites?
Regards
Woody
