Hello again, this time I have a question about a plug in angle grinder. What is the difference between the 240v and the 110v, apart from the volts lol. I'm guessing the 240v you can plug straight into a socket and the other I would need something to take the power down. Which would be better for me to buy. Thanks, lewis

If you just do domestic work then 240v is great.. the 110v will need a dropper box..

Thank you, so is the 110v used on site? I guess its safer than using 240v

Yep, 110v on site.............with a transformer. You can buy quite small transformers these days..............you plug the transformer into a 240v socket!

you can only use 110v on site

Quite right. Sorry. You only use 110v on site. Use the cables onsite.....if you can find one..............and if you do manage to find one, make sure you don't let it out of your sight. If you do not want to double up on your electrical gear, then invest in a small transformer (about £60). You can use your 110v tool with the transformer on a domestic job. Saves you buying 2 grinders, 2 wet cutters etc. Cheers Sean

if your in the market for buying a new one then i cant say enough about the hitachi 9
i use the 110 one for site work and its done 1000s of meters on slate and still going strong ,think it might out last me at this rate

all my tools are 110v apart from my battery drill.
Safer to buy these if your going to work on any sites at all.

If you have high ampage tools you will need a bigger transformer
