110v systems are actually 55v-0-55v so safer because the max voltage to earth is 55 volts
And 110v takes MORE current for the wattage, compared to 230v, not less
Voltage is not what kills you. Its the Amps & 110V run at half the Amps.
You are right though. Unless you have a circuit breaker you are dead either way
No good for DIYers though its 110v
Because its 110v and you will need to buy one of these to make it work. [img]cdn6.bigcommerce.com/s-h…jpg?c=2[/img]
You cannot plug this drill into household mains
these.
Dont go crazy with SDS bits, its not like ordinary drills which need to be sharp. They work by brute force and even cheap bits work and last very well.

It is the current that kills you .Body will take easily 200-300 kV.
110v is a pain in the ass.
I wouldnt recommend it for the house, lugging about a transformer is not fun.
As long as you have a 30mA RCD in the circuit 230v is perfectly safe.
Where are you getting a 110v transformer for £30 by the way?

Screwfix have several kits, search for SDS PLUS SET. One found LINK
I just tried and it goes through ok for me
That's most bizarre, as, using both Edge and Internet explorer, at checkout I get an error message stating that the Item(s) are Undeliverable ... WE DON'T HAVE THIS PRODUCT (in all caps!).
Got it through the phone ultimately... £49 is a great price for sure!

She looks like she need a drill.
nope still selling them
Can you post a direct link i cant get it to work for some reason
Gateway to cheap tools brought from lads wearing trackies and hoods that is
good luck to those who got a bargain, sadly I need a 230v one so it was no good to me
Completely wrong on all accounts.
Most building sites require the use of 110V tools which are fed from these special transformers, they have a centre tapped earth and two conductors at 55V which are 180 degrees out of phase, the point being that if the cable is damaged and a single conductor is exposed and you are unlucky enough to make contact with it, you are only going to have 55V through you rather than 240V.

Is where I was going to buy my transformer for £30 - but I've just realised that that £30 is only if you buy 3 or more plus you have to pay VAT making it a lot nearer £40.
