ECN Forum Forums General Topics of the Trade Non-US Electrical Systems & Trades Cordless Tools: The Obvious Question

Since my last foray outside the4 USA, cordless tools have really made their mark.

Here the primary brands are (A-Z) DeWalt, Makita, and Milwaukee. Less common are Bosch and Ryobi. Store brands include Rigid (Home Depot), Hercules (Harbor Freight), and Kobalt (Lowes). Specialty makers include Greenlee, Thomas & Betts, and Hilti. Each of these firms uses removable, rechargeable batteries of their own design. That’s is, each brand requires its own charger.

Yet the USA uses an electrical supply different from almost everywhere else. So my question is: How easy is it to purchase chargers (alone) in your country, so I can bring my batteries along?

(Canada is a special case, what with their volts being only 73% of US volts, as I understand things )
