But the U.S. gets tools much quicker than we do, the oscillating multi-tool and the DCD995 brushless drill took forever to come out over here. But that situation seems to be changing, the drywall screwgun came out over here only a short time after the U.S. and ITS tools has preview videos of the 2nd fix nail gun:
If you click on the link in the description, it brings me on to my second point, HOW BLOODY MUCH?!! U.S. tools are massively cheaper than they are in the UK. I often get dewalt tools in America appearing on my ebay feed, I see body only drills for £50, (more like £100 over here) drills or impact drivers with 2x 4ah batteries for ~£160, those would be about £200 in the UK if you shop around. So while some may think we get the best kit here, you get some stuff first and much cheaper. So it's swings and roundabouts really....
