You did it to yourself you broke the law then you want to wined about it. You should be glad you didn’t get put in jail . People like you ruined it for everyone else . Go back to the hole you came from and never come back.
You need a step down transformer. It’s also depends on the size of appliances. For hair dryer/ charger it’s best to get 1000 but for any bigger like your drill get 2000 which is the big one. Small ones is not big enough.
I brought my Christmas tree with lights from the States ordered step down from Lazada it blown with in 15 minutes. My tree were 5 foot. I was told it’s best to get commercial grade which it’s heavy and can handle the power. Remember to not to buy to big it’s not good either google it to see which size transformer is best for specific appliance.
