What is the power voltage on building sites for Power Tools in Canada?

Question:

I'm thinking of moving to Canada,im a carpenter and need to know if i should sell my power tools before i go? i'm living in the uk and on site here we use 110v on site... i also have 240v ..is there any way of converting them to suite ?

Answer:

120V./240V. single phase, should be available.
120V. is easy.
If your other tools are designed for 240V. with
a grounded leg, I'd be very carefull about trying
to apply them on the 240V. available, in Canada,
as both legs will be hot relative to ground.
