Hi all this is Matt Lisa's OH.
Can anyone give me any advice on shipping all my tools over inc power tools, work bench, impact tools etc. What is the best thing to clean them all with and does anyone know if all power tools will work once plugs are swapped.
A friend of a friend who moved to NZ said they had to pay some sort of tax on all his tools is this true for OZ as I have not heard of anything like this before.

Thanks all.

Reading this thread with interest (wife would love to know about the rabbit situation) as for the tools mine are being shipped out with household goods no mention of any taxes, our container is going before us so when we get there goods and tools can go into storage (tools i will collect from storage) I am using extension leads with the plugs changed until such a time i get around to changing all plugs, as long as your tools are 240v you will have no problems, (dont know how you go about pat testing 110v for vsite work. Hope this helps a bit :D I'll let you know in 4 weeks :eek:

there is no Tax on tools at all, once you change the plugs to 10amp australian they all work fine on 240v. bring all your tools mate every last one

Make sure any tools with tiniest bit of rusk are wd40'd to stop them getting worse during the journey. As someone else said too, bring them all

I scrubbed all my power tools, they look almost new.

As for hand tools, I loaded them all in the dishwasher - they came out a treat, ( and have a lovely lemmony scent :lol:)

HYA matt, andy is taking most of his on the plane,think in the hold so that he has them from day one,my BIL did this, phoned the airline and was told to put them all in a suitable container ,tape it all up and then open it and show wot you have at airport and then you have to tape it all up again , but remember to bring your own tape as they dont offer it to you.

any more questions remember to ask us at the meet x
