If using cordless you will be fine for corded just buy local. You will have a warranty too. Not a big savings buying a drill here but bits could be cheaper.

Are you sure they aren't just 2:1 transformers? There's definitely an amperage limit.
In the us power is 60Hz in europe it's 50Hz, I figured most of the converters would output 120V 50Hz.
I do...

You don't want to use a voltage convert to do this. Most of the voltage converters are not designed to be used with electric motors. They don't output a full sine wave. If it's a battery powered...

I'd imagine it's also a little cheaper to manufacture a drill that runs on 240V.

Basic drills can be pretty cheap overseas, especially hammer drills since so many countries build with masonry.

Don't listen to that person. He is not MAGA and has some really crazy advice. English is not his 1st language and his advice is far from 1st in any country.
You're looking at the voltage wrong....

These voltage converters step the voltage down so you can plug appliances that need 120V into them. The think you have to watch is how much power the device needs and what the converter is rated at.

Thanks! Quick question, it says step down from 220v to 110v, but I’m trying to go up from 110v to 220v, will this still work?

With a corded drill, the 120VAC power is driving the motor directly. You won't find one that works with 240V and 120V.
I looked at the manual for a cordless drill but it didn't list input voltage...
