| 535394 | 2007-03-24 02:27:00 | What is draw back with importing a cordless drill from USA. I know they have different voltage,can this be overcome? Thank you for info. |

| 535395 | 2007-03-24 02:53:00 | Cost? What is so special about a drill from the US? The charger will be 110v, so you would need an auto transformer, or one of those small switched mode voltage converters. Edit: I bought a $9 one from Supercheap auto :) it has a real chuck, ie. a chuck with a key. It has done a lot of work and is going fine. |

I wouldn't have suggested getting one from US if these were available here . . toolbarn . com/product/panasonic/EY7202GQW/" target="_blank">www . toolbarn . com See if you can get one of these for $9 . |

| 535397 | 2007-03-24 03:30:00 | Why import one? Most brands can be bought here from the appropriate importers. As for $9 you get what you pay for. Fine if its to used rarely, but husband is sticking to his DeWalt. |

| 535399 | 2007-03-24 03:35:00 | That particular one, as Cic says, appears only to be available by importing from the US. I have 3 cordless drills, the $9 one is the best. My Hitachi has a battery that fits inside the handle, it is kaput. I can buy 6 el cheapo cordless drills for the price of one Hitachi battery. |

| 535401 | 2007-03-24 04:27:00 | And I could burn out 6 $9 drills in under 6 minutes. I have to disagree,more like 9 mins.Be fair. Question..... So if I bring that in,what is approx cost of kit required to operate here? |

| 535402 | 2007-03-24 06:32:00 | A bit hard to visualise it as a drill, but a 230 to 110 transformer could be obtained for the cost of freight from me to you. Take your pick between 100W or 0.5KVA - either is a tad lumpy and heavy for the postie though. | R2x1 (4628) | ||
