Just recieved an iron today from Usa, problem is it works with 110v,
and here in South Africa we use 220V
Can anyone help me with a solution.
It is a coverite black baron iron

Thank you

I am sure you can get a converter. I went traveling in Europe and I bought a converter from Radio Shack, an electronics store. I am sure electronics stores would have one or at least be able to get you one.

Hi!
Why buy it from the US????
Send it back and buy it in South Africa...or China? Lots of E-mail stores selling R/C stuff.

Hi,
It's going to be more expensive to buy a converter than to buy a new iron...
If you buy a converter just be sure that its power is higher than the power of your iron.

A casual search shows this one for eight bucks. Seams like these things are everywhere for cheap probably a lot less expensive than your return shipping.

Heck you may end up with other 110 devices so it could be put to use.
