Should I buy power tools from Big Lots?

Question:

I want to buy a plunge router from Big Lots but it's $30 and I wanted to know if anyone's had experience with their tools. It's made by Pro Source and I'm going to get a set for $89 that has a circular saw (5 3/8"), a jigsaw, a reciprocating saw, a light and a power drill. They are all cordless and it comes with two batteries. Is this a good deal too? Are these going to fall apart or are they good deals?

Answer:

Big Lots are stores that have clearance items from a lot of different stores.If it is a name brand and you get your monies worth why not?They are all the same,the store is different.

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.
