andyandloz10 Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 I'm moving to Brisbane in feb 2014, and I'm a joiner-carpenter by trade and not sure wether to take my power tools. Is anyone else in the same boat? The power tools I have are 110v as I have worked on building sites here in the uk and that's what's needed. Id be forever using power adapters and transformers whilst over there. Or do I sell power tools and put it towards new tools when I get there?

garyupnorth Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Keep your 240v stuff and cordless, just change the plugs over there, get rid of the 110v don't need it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyandloz10 Posted November 24, 2013 Author Share Posted November 24, 2013 Hi , what you mean, chop the 110 plugs off and put an ozzy plug on instead? I don't think be able to do that as the motor runs on 110v I think, so it would blow the tool up. Have you gone over with power tools gary? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyandloz10 Posted December 5, 2013 Author Share Posted December 5, 2013 Hi nancy and paul, have you looked into what is needed for cleaning your tools, for example, if takin a chop saw does it have to be specially treated, or a cordless drill cleaned-cleared of saw dust internally. I spoke to a rep at seven seas shipping company and he was tellin me they have to be specially cleaned and treated but couldn't tell me by who, wtf haha. I'm going make some more calls tomoz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
