I'm about to buy a cordless screwdriver with a charger that works in 110v to be used in a country with 220v. Will this converter help me?

Absolutely this product is designed just for that I would refer to the Instructions (Guidelines) as far as how long to keep this device plugged In, this is what your looking for It does weigh a little bit and should be watched the first time you use It I've have been told that you might need an adapter depending on where you travel Thanks Troy

This converter is unlikely to help you. A few things first , I believe this charger has a rounded prong plug. In most places especially England the plug is a flat three pin MK Plug, so this charger will not fit into most outlets.Secondly theses chargers are meant for light electronics type equipment such as cell phone , ipad, cameras etc. Your cordless screwdriver is equipped with a different electrical cycle from that in found in the UK. Simply using a charger does not covert the charger to 220 0r 240 volts and may cause damage to your equipment.

No. Many Amazon and other users have reported this particular style and model converter has burned up in normal use after only a short time. Two of the three I purchased burned up - I threw the third away and replaced it with a safer model from a different company. Repeat: Do NOT USE THIS CONVERTER FOR ANYTHING ANYWHERE.

Yes it will -BUT you'll need to stop by a Radio Shack and purchase a 110V (used in US) to 220V (Europe) converter. The converter should be rated at AT LEAST 15-20 watts. (General rule: Add at least 20% to the appliance's wattage usage. If the appliances is a motor-driven device, there will probable be a quick, larger power draw by the appliance as its motor starts, so adding 50% to the converter's max output would not be a bad idea.) Because the ANDIS draws ony 10 watts, a 15 watt converter should be fine for the device. Also: Make sure the countries you are visiting have the same plug configuration as your adapter. Try googling "electrical plug configurations for european countries," print the page and ask the staff where you purchase the converter to provide you with adapters that are appropriate for the countries you are visiting. Total cost for the electrical and plug configuration adapters should not cost over $30. If if you're on a budget and if RS wants more than that - and if you have time before your trip, shop elsewhere with the information you've gotten from Radio Shack.

No , I just check the nameplate it listed only for 120v ac. To use it with 220 you would need a stepdown transformer (from 220v to 120v) then you could plug this in the 120 plug on the transformer. Depends on how much you need this charger as I would think the price of a transformer would be at least half of the charger. Hope this helps. Also if you do get the stepdown transformer it needs to at least match this load (.9A at 120v ac--again base of the name plate, so you would only need a small one)

Nooo, the charger acepts 110V, if you have 220V you must use a converter from 220 to 110 hope this helps!

I am sure it will work there but remember that this is a simple adapter, NOT a converter. Whatever you plug in must be able to accept the current and amperage of the supply. If you plug a 110 appliance into a 220 outlet, you will fry it.

I would think that you would need a converter to change your 220V down to 110 otherwise, you would burn out the charger. What you should do, is contact B&D; directly. I looked up their website and contacted customer service because I wanted to know if their fast charger would work with any of their batteries which use the regular charger. I was told yes but then again, I was not dealing with different voltages. Good luck.

Yes, it will work. All you need to do is to select the input voltage to 220V at the back of the device. Then plug your appliance into the 110V output at the front of the device. Hope it helps. Please let me know if you have any more questions.

The answer is "yes" but you don't need it for a laptop. Laptops, cell phone and camera chargers are all "universal" (dual) voltage devices and will automatically detect and adapt to 110/220V. You simply need the correct plug adapter for them. Most of them are stamped as "110v/220v" on the power source and can easily be checked. We use this converter for devices that can only handle 110v such as electric toothbrush charger, electric razor or other small appliance.

This is an outlet adapter, not a power converter. It will not reduce the voltage from 220 to 120. You will need a 220-to-120 converter-transformer to accomplish your goal. Please also make sure that such converter is rated to handle the amps that your device requires.

This item is not a convertor. If your appliance accepting both 220v and 110v you should be fine. You can probably see that on your power chord/unit, labeled "input".

Yes, I own one and live in South Africa, we use 220V. The charger is 110 - 220 volt so it works everywhere. You only need the plug adapter since the changer has the flat pin US plug.

Yes, it will work where in the world where you are converting 220 to 110 or vis versa.

I am pretty sure it would PROVIDED you have the proper conversion adapter. I have received them with some buys. What I have is standard 110V and NO conversion adapter came with it. I probably should have said that I am not sure or know. Sorry!

This power strip will not convert voltage, it will let you to plug in different plug types that are used around the world. Your laptop supply should work with 120 to 220 Volts.

No, most power tools ordered from the united states will only work with 110V. Unless you have a transformer that changes the 220V to 110V current, this tool will not survive.

Yes. You could buy a combination voltage converter/prong adaptor like these, which is what I use when I travel to Europe: http://www.enjoy-europe.com/hte/chap11/electric.htmBut I'm pretty sure Philips is a European company, so they probably make a charger/transformer with cord designed for your 220V and round prong system if you'd rather not bother with converters. If you don't buy a lot of American electric devices you could use it with when you're not charging the shaver, I'd get the manufacturer's device. Also, and I don't know this for a fact, should something go wrong, using an after-market converter/adapter might void the warranty. Yes.

No. It is not gong to work with 220V. The electrical current would be too strong and if you got a converter, you probably would use it too often to have that last.
