When it comes to purchasing power tools, Amazon can still be one of the best options for buyers in Israel. Even though products over $75 USD are currently subject to import fees, the overall cost — even after VAT — usually comes out cheaper than buying locally. Amazon offers a huge selection of top-quality brands like DeWalt, Milwaukee, and Black & Decker, often at better prices than you’ll find in Israeli stores. With frequent deals, customer service, and reliable shipping, it often makes more sense to import.
One important thing to keep in mind is the voltage difference. Most power tools sold on Amazon U.S. are designed for 110V, while Israel uses a 220V electrical system. Before purchasing, make sure to check if the tool is dual voltage (110–220V) or if you’ll need a reliable step-down transformer. This small detail can save you from damaging your tool or needing to return it.
It’s also worth noting that there have been murmurings about a possible change in Israel’s import policies, specifically discussions around dropping import fees altogether. If that happens, buying from Amazon will become an even better deal! We’ll be keeping a close eye on the situation and will keep you updated with any important changes.
