Why can’t I buy a makita drill from america instead of the expensive uk?
Makita 18v Lithium Ion LXT Hammer Drill Kit BHP451
Thats what I want, but I cannot buy (sob sob sob)
I think it is because they are a lot cheaper and the british enjoy getting ripped off
It is a cordless drill and it is 110v on a building site.
The electricity supply in the states is a different frequency. I’ll have to look into this a whole lot more. I know Makita won’t like it.
110v on a building site in the uk 230v in the domestic dwelling.
Frequency 50Hz
usa 60Hz
I think it is the batteries that cost alot.
Hahahaha! Iv got that exact drill! And I bought it from lowes in Johnson City in America! And I cant find a 230v charger here! -So I have to plug it into a 110v transformer onsite.
You can buy 1 there and you can use it over here just chop the 2pin american plug off the end and put a 16amp 110v plug onto it the hertz over there are different (60hz) compared to our (50hz) but that doesnt make any difference
