Which 220V devices do you know that will be damaged by connecting via a laptop power cable to 110V?
I don't know of any.
Cheers,

I’m not sure if this would be a good idea, because the US/Canada use a 110V-system while Europe uses 230V.
While many notebooks can stomach both, lots of other devices can not. So it could be fatal to just switch the powercord of a device.
Sincerely,
DaB.
