220V small tool supplier in US??
I need to buy a couple of 220V tools to take to Africa with me next
month. I want a BOSCH jigsaw, top handle type, and a drywall gun, prefereably BOSCH, with a 220V or multivoltage charger. Do any of you know a US supplier of these tools in 220V version?? Or a good European supplier who ships to US?? I don't want to ship to or buy in Africa (Tunisia) due to very high import duties. Pointers appreciated. I can't take the BIG tools with me... :-( -- Regards, Terry King ...In The Woods In Vermont "The one who dies with the most parts LOSES! What do you need??" |

If you already have these tools that operate at 120 VAC, I'd simply get a 500 VA enclosed transformer with the appropriate 220 male plug on a cord wired to the 220V side and a 120V duplex box with a couple of 120 VAC receptacles on the 120 VAC side.

220V small tool supplier in US??
Terry,
I took 110 volt tools to Europe and bought 220 volt tools which I have subsequently brought back. Have you thought about a transformer? I don't know about a drywall gun but a 300 W transformer takes care of most of my tools and a 2400w takes care of all plus multiple tools as once.

International Tools sells 220v tools. Try this link:
http://hottoolprices.com/220volt/main.htm If it doesn't work, go to www.internationaltool.com and poke around for 220v. I've ordered from them before and can recommend them.

If it doesn't work, go to www.internationaltool.com and poke around for 220v. Thanks!, I'll try them... I have shipped a 2400 watt transformer which I'll use for a variety of stuff around 'home', but I'd like to be able to have a drywall gun and jigsaw in a toolbox. The transformer weighs 65 pounds... -- Regards, Terry King ...In The Woods In Vermont "The one who dies with the most parts LOSES! What do you need??" |

My jigsaw draw about 300w, same for the variable speed drill. The three
hundred watt transformer weighs about the same as the tools. (I'd guess about four pounds.) rhg Terry King wrote: http://hottoolprices.com/220volt/main.htm If it doesn't work, go to www.internationaltool.com and poke around for 220v. Thanks!, I'll try them...

My jigsaw draw about 300w, same for the variable speed drill. The three
hundred watt transformer weighs about the same as the tools. (I'd guess about four pounds.) Well. I guess the right thing is to find a smaller transformer, say 300 to 500W. Duty cycle on jigsaw etc. is not too high, and running the charger on my new Makita Driver takes only 60W. (The 220V version of this tool was $299, but the 'special' at my independent lumber yard was $175 for the driver, charger, TWO batteries, flashlight, case and a free heavy-duty tool belt. So I guess I'm transformer-bound... Thanks for all the pointers and ideas! -- Regards, Terry King ...In The Woods In Vermont "The one who dies with the most parts LOSES! What do you need??" |
