I too have workshop tools that are 110v and used these for years without issues. My go-to corded drill is a Metabo 1kw 110v and gets used quite frequently mounted on a stiff cast pillar press and that allows safe and controlled cutting quite large and deep cores in metal. My other most used 110v tool is a large 9 inch grinder - that will cause the 1.5kw site transformer to cut out if loaded up, however I have a much more powerful bench mounted 2.5kw tranny that I can use in those circumstances.
Most of the 110v tooling I have were acquired in sales where they seemed to be discounted more heavily than 240v stuff, and given I don't do much site work the safety aspect is of less a concern for me.
