Mr. Yellow Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 So I was looking into some compressors and unfortunately DeWalt used to sell only 1 model here in the EU, the D55155 However, this seems discontinued and only a few places still sell this one. Now I was looking at Dewalt.com and noticed they have this D55371 model that has dual voltage 120-240v. Am I wrong or would it be possible to use this in the EU, just by replacing the powercord for one with a EU type plug? I know this would void the warranty. Warranty would be an issue just for using an US tool in the EU. I'm hoping DeWalt will eventually launch some compressors here and a coilnailer too.

kanxrus Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 I'm not sure, you would have to contact DEWALT directly on that. I think it's more of a hertz issue, not so much the voltage issue, based on the fact that's it's 220v compatible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Yellow Posted April 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 This ain't gonna work due to the hertz thing. So I got lucky and got myself one of the very few remaining (new) D55155 models still out here in NL. This is a great compressor and I really like the looks of it. Don't like to carry this around all the time so I'm gonna add some wheels and a retractable handle, similar to the model above. Just waiting on parts. Also got me a decent auto-retractable hose reel. Just need to swap the blue hose for a yellow DeWalt one that I imported from the US. Call me crazy, but I just like to stick to my favourite brand where possible Will post some pics once done.
