I'm looking into buying a dewalt radio. The radio i'm after is available at 110v or 230v. Am I right in saying that the 230v radio can be plugged straight into an extension cable but a 110v radio would need to be plugged into a transformer?

 
Will the 110v radio then need a 3 pin lead to plug into the transformer?

 
my question to you is, do you do domestic work or commercial/industrial.

I'd go for 240v personally, as with the strict way sites are run nowadays even though there will be 110v on tap, radios are 9 times out of 10 banned.

happy workers are good workers

stupid h&s along with air bags around steps and eye protection when not in a high area or task

 
IMO woolies 240v radios took the least effort to work on 110,

simply change the plug,

seems to be an inverse thing,

cheaper the radio, easier to get it to work on 110 it is, mine is still going 2 years later with both leads available, 110 and 240. :D
