I heard the same story from Timberwolf when I talked to them at a conference a couple of years ago.I just dont buy that reasoning, all the other tools that Makita sells in Europe are the same ones we get here! The number of posts on this topic would lead one to believe that their are some of us who do want quality tools, and are willing to pay a little extra to get them.
Does any one know what would be involved in someone buying the tools in Europe and shipping them privately? The reason I ask is that my daughter is spending this semester in France. Tom
