Im currently in the uk,we use 110v power tools on building sites here,can i use them in new zeland?or 240v?

i also have some 240v power tools,which ones can i leagilly use on site or in joinery workshops as in wrokshops here ,we can only use 240v,as on site its 110v..do you have the same systmes in place there or is it all the same??
Answer:

Due to the 110v having a centre tapped earth its always the safer option. However some sites now have a regulation for battery powered tools only. 18v and upwards.

110 is much safer .

The only ways you can use 110V power tools in the UK is by using a step-down transformer (i.e. step-down to 110V from 240V) or a petrol-driven standalone generator with 110V output. The mains supply in NZ is the same as the UK (230-240V) so you will need to use your step-down transformer. I presume (on a building site) you use isolation transformers anyway for safety reasons?
