I need to convert 110V to 220V and would like something with more than one output so that I can plug in a few different appliances to one converter. Something that can deal with different Hz (50/60Hz) would be nice too.
Anyone know a good brand? Give me a website please.

The transformer >might< work, but most motors are very sensitive to the frequency (50/60Hz) of the power. It sounds like you're not only changing from 220V to 110V, but also from 50 Hz to 60 Hz.
The cost of a voltage & frequency converter that could handle the high power and inductive load of power tools will be far beyond the cost of the tools in your new location. You should seriously consider selling the tools in Europe and buying/renting new ones in Mexico.

The normal "adapter" is a low power device.
What you need is a transformer. It will have to have a power rating at least as high as the most powerful of your tools.
It will almost certainly have only one output, but there's no sense in trying to plug in more than one tool at a time anyway, you can use only one at a time.
Besides which, if you actually wanted to run more than one at a time the power rating of the transformer would need to be the sum of both/all the tools you were using. That means the transformer would be much larger and much more expensive.
The difference in mains frequency isn't important. The transformer will work on either.

it truly is risky! If the wattage requirement on your pc is below the unique wattage of the adapter, it won't injury your pc, your pc will in basic terms take the quantity of means it demands. once you % a alternative ac adapter on your pc,you ought to comprehend: a million:voltage [volts V]- it ought to be comparable to voltage cost precise on your pc. 2.modern-day output[ampere A] -it ought to be an analogous or bigger than the cost precise on your pc. I.E. in the experience that your pc desires 50W, then the two the 60W or 90W will paintings ok. in the experience that your pc desires 80W then you definitely will desire the 90W one via fact the 75W one is in simple terms no longer efficient adequate. desire it supplies you help to
