I’ve typically got 3 grinders on the go at once mate, so I dare say they will. 🙂

Got it in the plumbers/builders merchants where I buy most of my addy etc. You're right about it getting through some gear!

why would anyone not want to use 110 anyway, it beggars belief especially when so many of you folk are paranoid about dust etc.....

Because 110 grinders are woefully underpowered.

I have never found that to be the case, used 110v all my life on site - 240v too on some domestics and I can't see the difference. 9 inch grinders too.

The wattage describes the power of a tool, so a 110v 500 watt drill is just as powerful as a 220v one.
What you do have to watch is the current. In a nutshell the 110v tool will take twice as much current as the equivalent 220v one. The more current the greater the voltage drop in the cable, so you should use shorter/thicker cables. Not using the correct cable will reduce the voltage at the tool, making it appear less powerful.
110v is safer. The live of a 220v supply is 220v volts with respect to earth, so if you touch a live and say a water pipe at the same time you will be zapped with the full 220v.
The 110v is in fact 2 55v supplies connected together to give 110v. The common connection is connected to ground, so if you touch one of the conductors and ground you'll only get 55v across your body.

New gadget come today (secondhand) and I must say totally impressed!
Excellent condition, bag same condition, and pretty accurate as well, which was just a little surprising.
So all good. 🙂

Doesn't really have to be "accurate" though if you just use it to transpose measurements ( I know that's a bit of an oxymoron..)

What exactly is it ?

100W LED is just mental, I have both 10W and 20W floodlights and they're beyond bright in an ordinary room!

yes, 20w is good in a bathroom when the sun is high......
