Jon as your just starting out I'd spend that budget on the following wet saw and I'd get myself a good grinder with a decent blade, you'll have change to spare and these tools will cover most scenarios for you.

You may also need a transformer to go with your new 110v tools;)

Well I assumed that was a given Albert, trying to cover all potential basis for the man!
Who still buys 240v tools anyway??
I do, used 240v years ago then sites said must be 110v so bought all power tools again now sites up here won’t supply power off mains for houses so it’s generators so 16 amp blue plug being phased in so need to renew again!

If going to be mostly private work like I do now, I buy all 240v tools stick blue 16 amp on it then use a 13amp fused rcd fly. Then ready for site work if need be, and the 240v tools have a bit more power to them.

I not sure that 240 actually do have more power . If they do I've never noticed . It's not always practical to set up a gazebo in the winter to use tools outside and 110 is safer to use . I don't think 110 is the law for site work if you do it but some main contractors just insist that it what is used .

99.9% of sites are 110v, It may not be law but if the man in charge says no 240v then
no 240v.{ Unless you are pulling them out of the s***e }

Whatever the main contractor states as their H&S policy on any site then that infact is the law and it can vary from site to site. But what's the point in buying 240v, you could get a call to do or help on a nice floor for example on a site but you'd have to re buy 110v tools to do it. For the sake of carrying a transformer I can't see the sense in buying 240.

Already undecided with driving on the left,
