Husband and I are heading home (for me) at last.  He is a master carpenter, we need some wisdom on two fronts.

Do transformer converters work for US standard power tools in the UK? He's planning on bringing table saws, the works, is it a waste of time? We've read that slower cycles will burn up tools or cause them to cycle dangerously slowly, the folks who sell the transformers swear it's not so, but they would wouldn't they!
Has anyone got direct experience running US power tools in the UK?

Location, location, location, would London burbs be the best area for us, I need safe and relatively quick access to Central London at all times of the day and night, don't ask.  Family etc say good carpenters are impossible to find, would he do well enough far from London (our last pick for a place  to live) for me to give up my London centric, well paying profession and get a regular job and us survive?

Any thoughts gratefully appreciated.



 

Cant really advise on any of the questions you asked, but i believe 'carpenters' here are called 'joiners'.
Hope that's helpful in his job hunt.

Can anyone tell me what happened to this thread? I replied and so did Daver(?), now they have gone and there is a weird bit on top of the OP?

Have I really lost my mind?!

There are two identical threads running,one here one in Classifieds
