You will still need to buy a charger in the UK though

thanks Stan have sent him a message so we will see what happens, sounds like a busy man though

I recently did this with a Ryobi One+ drill and a pair of 4.0ah batteries. Seperately including postage and import duty from the states I got them cheaper than buying a set with smaller batteries over here - even buying a UK charger (which is again the bigger beefier version than the one you would get in a kit).

I had to google that to see how it would work (or even if you were joking), what with the voltage, current and frequency all being wrong. In my searches, I came across this geniusUS to UK plug adaptor

LOL...ive brought all sorts of stuff back from the US including chargers..hair products..boat depth finders..ect. most stuff like this is not affected by the 60Hz to 50Hz change and a charger is only a voltage reducer/rectifier anyway which a travel plug adaptor can handle.I had to google that to see how it would work (or even if you were joking), what with the voltage, current and frequency all being wrong.

Probably safest you just but a UK charger
Nowadays most chargers for cordless power tools are switching power supplies, rather than the classic transformer/rectifier. The first function done inside is that the full mains is rectified to DC, so the 50 or 60 Hz mains frequency does not matter. Most of them also adapt automatically to input voltage, and will accept 100 to 240 v AC inputs without adjustment. However, check the label first!

if you was after a good price on the bare drill unit try here http://www.powertoolworld.co.uk/milwaukee-m18cpd-brushless-combi-drill.html
I have the milwaukee 18v grease gun, 3/4 drive 18v monster impact gun and the 18v grinder and a few spare 18v batteries which I charge up on the 6 bay milwaukee charger so when I saw the price for a bare unit it made sense to get one

It's a shame they don't list all the other Milwaukee tools at decent prices.
On the other hand, if they did I suppose I'd find they needed to be added to the collection, so perhaps best not...!

Ah, now that is a nice price on the impact. Now, can I justify it as I already have the HIW one with 450ftlb...?
I'm thinking of all the extra power!

Nah, that's just what lads do as part of the growing up to be a man. Can't ask too much of youngsters, they're... er... young.
Real men don't have time for eating volcanic lava, too boring and easy.
thats done it bought the impact wrench , now studing form on the rest
