Very unusual must have been made for the export market because the Germans are'nt allowed 110V legally.

If you get 110v kev the price hike is about £50 from Karl dahm, Are they just on 240v then

They find it difficult to get 110V tools. They are limited because of safety measures in Germany 220V-230V mainly. Their plugs normally have no earth, they tend to use 3 Phase in the main for bigger stuff

What I meant Branty was that do the germans only work in 240v in their own country or do they use 110v as well on site

I stand corrected then!!! They must have changed the rules in Germany then recently! They were never allowed 110V Tools at one time. Only for Export!

That will be great if it happens! Although I will believe it when i see it! We can't even agree to just put two rear fogs on the back of every car built for use in the EU instead of one side for RHD and the other for LHD:mad2:
I was working in Spain last year and my transformer went. It was only then I realised the Spanish don't have 110V either. I had to have one shipped down from the UK

I don't know about that.
I know you can buy 110V from the Karl Dahm site. They're not stupid thoough. They know us Brits love German tools. They know we have to work to 110V on site, its a big market, so they make the right tools available to us.
