Anybody using this in the US? Curious why there is no us plug

That's because you do not plug this directly into AC wall power (the special plug prevents this). Proxxon tools are all DC powered and require a remote DC power supply. There are two DC transformers available. The lower cost 2.0 amp DC transformer is #38706. The higher power (multi tool use) 5.0 amp DC transformer is #38704. Both DC transformers will power the #27082 Thermocut tool. Both transformer types sold in the USA have standard US plugs.

you have to buy the transformer that goes with it. It will not plug into any outlet anywhere in the world, the transformer has the plug for the wall.

The unit requires a transformer NG 2/S which has a standard US plug. The connector on the hand held unit mates only with the transformer. Even though it resembles a European power plug it is not.

These tools require a transformer(http://www.amazon.com/Proxxon-38706-Transformer-NG/dp/B0017NQU9Y/ref=pd_sim_hi_1), it's not a wall plug at all

I had to buy the power adaptor that the thermocut plugs into. It worked nicely.

We have one and love it. Bought an adapter separately. Totally worth every cent. Could not recommend it enough

I'm using it in the US. The plug that came with mine fits standard US receptacles.

No I can't use it. The description did not say there was no US plug. Useless product.

I am, this is not normally a product that is sold in the US that's why the plug is weird. getting the transformer fixes that

They did not listed as not being a US plug. Unfortunately when I bought it, I did not realize it until after the return date. I had to eat the cost And buy a cheap craft store one.

Ours have a regular plug. Sounds like you need a converter from Europe plug to North American plug

The supplier has sent you a unit with a European plug in error! Same thing happened to me. As I travel to Europe, I already had a foreign adapter. I would send unit back. Failing that you will have to spend $6-$10 for travel adapter.

We are in the USA and it works perfect here. Hope that helps you.to some degree. We don't travel to other regions. Sorry.

Hi Laura!Yes, lamp has US plug, but it's not a big problem. I'm from Russia and at home I use a simple converter for my device.

This plugs in fine in the U.S.A. So i would guess it wouldnt work in the U.K. Without an adapter if there is such a thing?

I am so sorry that our product is original UK plug, and we will provide a free US adapter to you. Thanks.

Yea, UK plugs work. The entire thing goes into a US outlet, so you'll need an adapter for wherever you're going. I bought a cheap travel set + this, and I was set for my entire trip.

I bought it standard US plugs. My guess is no from experience traveling there with electronics.

I'm not sure I follow your question. Are you buying for use outside of the US? If anything, I'd check the manufacturer website or get their customer service line from Amazon to find out. The plug is a three pronged one. If that helps any.

They sent me the European plug version too. Amazon has adapters available that will convert the plug from European to U.S. The supplier offered to refund $6 which I accepted. They were very apologetic for sending me the wrong version.

Yes. I've not had any trouble using this item in the US. I am very happy with the purchase.

I just bought this item. It only came with the standard USA plug configuration. You might want to contact the manufacturer to see if they offer it with the UK plug configuration. Or purchase an adapter.

I tested my US plug, also, & it worked well, but only for 1 device. Would not charge a second. I arrived in Germany on Friday & the EU plug isn't working at all. Very disappointed over the wasted money!

Mine just has a standard plug for US. (whatever that is) I imagine if you purchase a conversion kit your could use it other places. I have not tried though.

Mine came with a AC adapter that does net fit any US outlets.. Totally useless..
