Guest duncan Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 if i had my time again i definately would not bother bringing the 110v stuff. never seen anybody else with the gear and to be frank i'm well shot of the lumpy yellow box. tools are about the same price out here although i have yet to find myself a descent circular saw. sell up and buy new would be my advice. all the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest keegsandkell Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Thanks for the advice Duncan. I suppose i'll have to try and sell it but i'll not get what it is worth because people don't seem to have any money around this neck of the woods (Sheffield) so I might have to bring it anyway. Research tells me that Hilti are big in Oz and if so I can definitely recommend WSC85 Hilti skill saw they are the dogs. Dave and penny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
