i have a 110v SDS, but thats about it for 110v stuff. all other drills/tools are 230v or cordless (with 230v chargers). most of my 'site' work is just me on site (no big renovations/new builds etc), so never had a problem with 230v stuff

I think you're allowed RCD protected 230v on site now though,, aren't you???

Although it does depend on the site. Many just have a huge 110V transformer and the whole site is 110V only with a 230V supply to the cabins only.

Smaller sites will often allow 230V though.

been on similar sites where someone says you cant use 230v because its 'dangerous', yet the same bloke was happy with my solution to no 230v to plug chargers into.....

3 phase extension split to single phase....

I did have somewhere a transformer to give 230V from 110V for site use, Saved walking miles to the cabin and back to swap a battery.

got one of those too, but its rarely kept in van (dare i say it - not enough space. or in reality, it doesnt get used enough to justify carrying it)

you used to be able to strip them from old 110v flourescents(230v in reality), but I think most are 110v by design nowadays.

I remember getting to the end of a large job and struggling to be able to find enough lights to see what I was doing. The compound was full of 110V fluorescents with missing bits and the ones one site would either not work or go bang when you plugged them in as they were just yanked out and the cover replaced!
