I received my PC Nailer from the US this morning, however the charger is a 120v US version not dual voltage, and I want to change it.  Was thinking that rather than buying the UK model which would either be the Stanley or Black and Decker then I could just change the power adapter on it.


The rating of the current adapter is 120v 60hz 770ma, output of  20v 1A.


However the UK versions are slightly different for B&D and Stanley they are

    If you want to match the existing power supply, it needs to be 20V, 1A.  Make sure the plugs match on the DC side, and check the polarity of the plug.


    You might get away with a cheap 230V to 120V step down transformer.  But European mains is 50Hx, not 60Hz, so it's not guaranteed to work.
