From somewhere I have a memory of hearing about a 110V tool supplied new with a 230V plug in the days before moulded plugs.0

Never underestimate people's capacity to do stupid things.
I'm not 100% sure if the post below is genuine but if it is, I wonder if the writer is still with us.what is the difference between 110v and 230v power tools, the prices are almost identical, can it be just the plug that is different, and if so can you swap the plugs over, I cant see a problem as long as the cables can take the higher amps when using 110 instead of 230.
