Tools are'nt all that expensive over here if you are converting pounds - but why bother buying new ones if they work, and they won't take up much space in your friends container or bags!

Re: carpentry tools

take the 240v and sell the 110v ones. 110v tools can be used but need to be tagged and most use 240v. Saves lugging about a transformer and the unions may get a bit funny with you if they see you using 110 tools. Blah blah blah.
