In the UK builders' hand-tools for use on outdoor sites run on 110 v and you can get a portable 3 kVA transformer to convert 240 to 110 for about £30 if you look around.

The 110 v secondary has a centre-tapped earth so that both lives wires are 55 v to earth.

Can you plug a 100 volt power tool into a 110 volt outlet?

Never heard of a power tool that runs on 100 volts AC. It would have to be 108 to 120 volts or 220 to 240 volts. It will work on the 120 volt outlet if is it 60 hertz in the U.S. or 50 Hrtz in some other countries. If it is 50 Hrtz then do not use it in the U.S. without a converter.


Can you change wall plugs 110 volt systems to suit 240 volt appliances?

No, you cannot simply change the wall plug to make a 110 volt outlet support a 240 volt appliance. The voltage requirements of the appliance and the outlet must match for safe operation. You would need to install a dedicated 240 volt outlet and ensure that the wiring and circuitry can handle the higher voltage. It is recommended to consult a licensed electrician for this type of electrical work.
