There have been a lot of discussions on this subject. I'd suggest you go back through the forum. You'll find all the answers you need. The main topics of conversation seem to be:

Can I bring it?
Will I have to pay import duty?
Will it be compatible (we're not metric)?
Will you be allowed to use it on a Canadian jobsite?

At least you're not going to Australia, they would spin the wrong way!
