I haven't seen 110 in years. Even the radios I work on from the 40's say 117. The US stepped up voltage in the early 30's from 110 for residential. It's now 123v most places I know.
115/230 is common on electric motors unless they are pretty new. Yeah, they run on less as there are plenty of 115/208-230v.
If you run your corded power tools on 110 due to excessive or too small extension cords, they are likely to die.
