[QUOTE="Brian 157, post: 86858, member: 2251"] Hmm... Certainly this is usually the case for construction site work but plenty of sparks use 230v power tools for other work. It could be argued that 30mA RCD protected 230v is as safe as non-RCD protected 110v (my old boss argued this a lot...). Cordless drills etc have come on a long way in the last few years and many of the sparks I know have replaced most of their 230 & 110 power tools with battery ones & only bring out mains power tools for the heavy stuff like core drilling for extract fans etc. [/QUOTE]
