So you guys run your power tools etc on 220v? seems weird cause we have 220 as standard and run tools on 110V
115-120 volts is what we usually find at home electrical outlets. The builder put in a 240-volt outlet in the garage which is nice for air compressors, welders, and other big stuff like an air conditioner.

This just in: A trip to the hardware store for a 2A 250V fuse, and the Craftsman meter is good as new!
startling discovery: fuses protected the circuit........thats what fuses are for?
