Hi all,

Starting to go through stuff to bring or not to bring,
I have some power tools that are 110, do i just cut the round plug socket off we use here in the UK and fix on to end of cable a Canadian style plug?
Regards Paul, thanks for your replies

You got it as simple as that. just have to put the ground in the right place other 2 go either side as its AC

Yes, they'll doubtless work with a new plug, but...

110v power tools in UK usually indicates they're jobsite tools. If you're planning to bring them over for work, bear in mind they won't have CSA certification and some employers won't allow them on site.

There have been numerous discussions and more than a few bang-your-head-against-a-wall debates on here in the past over whether the lack of a CSA or UL approval is likely to void insurance policies. The short answer is you're OK for domestic use, but likely not OK for commercial use.

Also, motors designed for operation at 50Hz may not take kindly to 60Hz supply. Lifespan may be shortened.
