Wrong power cord on Hornady Tumbler?

[subatom]

Just picked up a new brass tumbler from Hornady and it's got the wrong plug on it...

Called the store I bought it from and got told that's normal and I need to buy an adapter.

Is that right? s**ty deal to buy one here and have the wrong power plug I reckon...

Yes that's normal for Hornady. *sigh*

Poor little Australia isn't worth making a correct powder cord for apparently.

Double check, but you should find it's a Euro power plug/unit which will work here. It should be 220v?

I'm sure you used to hearing that all out stuff is "240 volt". I forget the numbers exactly (so double check this before doing anything stupid and pluging the wrong thing in) but Australia's electrical system is actually 230 volt with a tolerance of -5% and +10% or something in that neighbourhood.

Appliances between 220v and 250v should work find here, you just need a plug adapter. Double check we're talking about the same thing, but that should be right.

Assuming we're talking about the same tumbler, it is. I have one of the Hornady tumblers which I had to get the adapter for as above...

The converters are bugger all. I have some for some cameras and stuff from Dick Smiths and I think they were $9 or something.

Thanks all. Not a big deal I guess but just a pain in the ass that we don't qualify as a proper country to the US apparently

Didn't you know? The USA makes up 99% of the world and the rest of us are just lucky to be nearby their greatness

My favourite is when a yank picks up someone on their British spelling and says they need to learn to speak American

They're not any better at accents either.

Somehow they thing the NZ and Aussie accent are the same...

I found the same thing with mine too.

It wouldn't have bothered me if I knew ahead of time. How difficult is it to stick a sticker on the box mentioning it

Was pissed off when I got home and found I couldn't use it, let me tell you...
