Hi,
Great idea about putting the tools in the dishwasher, but will they get rusty doing that?

Regarding 110v tools when I came out in 2003 I couldn't get the transformer tested and tagged rendering all my tools useless. I did read a post from a guy down on the gold coast who had no trouble getting a test and tag on his transformer just last year so it may be advisable to bring them if your heading to QLD and have room in the container.
Have a look at the regs for yourselves http://www.dir.qld.gov.au/electrical...ghts/index.htm
Just looking for a link to the post I'm referring to, will post it if I find it
EDIT:
Here it is including the number of the guy who tests the 110 v tools

Re: Tools
We're heading for Melbourne in about 10 weeks and have been advised to take hand tools, cordless tools and sell the rest and buy new out there. Hubby now rubbing his hands with glee at the thought of new tools. Cant say it does much for me, so it must be a man-thing!!
And hes definately not putting his grubby tools anywhere near my dishwasher :scared: :scared: wet wipes and a towel will do him nicely
