    Default Is it worth bringing tool?

    My husband is hoping to get work as a carpenter or mason in New Zealand upon arrival. Is it worth bringing his tools or should he purchase new ones when he gets there. Will his tools work in New Zealand?

    Google tells me that Jamaica is 110V 50Hz so power tools won't work here without a step down transformer. If the tools are good quality it is well worth considering getting the transformer because tools here tend to be expensive and/or poor quality. Hand tools - bring them.
