    What about the shipping with DHL will I get screwed with duty??

    You will get nailed (forgive the pun) with the duty. DHL cahrge the duty based on the value of the shipment, which is the goods plus the shipping charge, and they charge it for every shipment. They also charge an admin fee.

    Are you sure these will work on our voltage (the charger, I mean)?

    FK IT, I thought that we might get done for duty alright.

    Ya, I asked them and they are spot on for Ireland

    Hang on, there is no duty if they are being imported from the UK.

    It depends on what you want to use them for ... DeWalt is owned by Black and Decker and it's their "professional" line of tools, or at least was when they first started producing them, although rumours are that the quality of DeWalt tools isn't what it was.

    That offer is certainly cheap ... you'd pay £250-300 each for some of those tools singly from a reputable manufacturer such as Makita, Bosch or Metabo, but that says enough I think.

    Also note that it's a 110V charger, OK if you're in the US, work on a site that uses 110V or have a suitable 110V site transformer, and you only get two batteries.

    From the auction page: "This Item Will be Posted From Our Warehouse in the USA"
