Get this type of adaptor http://www.amazon.co.uk/Euro-Pin-Converter-Plug-Adapter/dp/B000NJ30QO
You will never know its a euro plug. I have used them a fair amount of times (the adaptor not the shop)

John...


Ummm yes might do that see what my dealer says first 2moro!  I have that adapter already some where im sure I have seen it round the house on a tool or some sort of gadget im going 2 have a look 2 moro!  Cus I am sooooo sure I already have it!

My milwaukee radio is the same it has a adapter but it came with it already attached its a crap one its a massive  Milwaukee are rubbish for plugs.   I am going to smash the radio one as it really does my head in it sometimes takes up 2 plugs and sometimes I cnt plug it in some sockets as its to large to fit! ridiculous !

Its a dutch plug! French are different I think.   Well I lived in Holland for 10years and they are exactly the same as this one I have now in the picture.

It's called a Europlug, and widely used on mainland Europe. Only the British sockets are incompatible, as usual.  Wink

That's because you Europeans stubbornly refuse to accept our superior, safer plug & socket system.... Poke

Well spoke to my dealer!

He said sorry he forgot to send the adpater with it.  Milwuakee forgot to package the adapter in with the tools so they sent them all loose to the dealers. 

Sounds of it it's the same adapter Neth linked above.

He's sending me the adpater soon as.

Had a little play with the Milwaukee Multi tool now  and apart from the vibrations giving of from the tool its self its a very good cordless ''Fein''  Ill be comparing it to the Fein soon with 2 brand new Fein blades just to see the difference side by side of course you cant really compare powered to cordless but people who already own a Fein can get an idea what kinda power the Milwaukee tool has.  I know ill be getting the Milwaukee tool out a lot more than the Fein because it does handle medium size cutting jobs  if I have a lot of cutting to do I will be getting the Fein out. 

The Cordless nailer well I aint needed it yet and properly wont any time soon its more of a toy I just want lol! I think when ill be doing a few roofs or floor joists it will come in   lol

Well! I thought this thread was starting to gather dust!  So to bring it back!  I thought I would buy some tools so I could post!  haahaa! joking that aint the real reason!  Just me wanted a new tool!

I got 3 empty T-locs! One for a TS circular

I also got the Brand new Milwaukee M18 SDS!  I was surprised how small it actually is!    Also it has the NEW RED Lithium!

Also Got some planer blades and another Festool 18V battery.

I was supposed to of had the New Festool Oiling kit coming with this delivery but he didnt have it in stock so that should be coming soon aswell.

JMB, did you guys get the new Porter Cable Oscillating tool over there, the PC250MTK?  Do they even sell Porter Cable over there.  I'm pretty happy with it so far, and this coming from a dealer that is very skeptical of knock offs.  We're Fein all the way through, stock some of the knock offs just due to demand, but I was thoroughly impressed with the Porter Cable's tool-less blade change.  Time will tell us about reliability, but for accessory changes the PC engineers really did a number.  Fein's got homework to do.

The Porter Cable aint available here in the UK not as far as I know.    The tool change on the Proter Cable is a cool and easy way to change the blade. 

The Fein tooles blade change aint bad though I have had no problems with it so do I think Fein need to change their tooles blade no I dont think so its easy enough still okay not as easy the the Portar cable but still easy enough.   

Do Milwaukee need to change their blade change YES I thought I could live with using a Alan key to change the position of the blade or replace the blade but I CANT I HATE IT.  Ill just be in this awkward place and I could do with altering the blade position but I cnt so I have to get back up and go to the box and get the Alan key.  So Im thinking of some how attaching the Alan key to the tool so at least its always on hand
