I had no idea there was such a hunger for high end (and expensive!)
power tools on a consumer level.

Shows what I know!

What you are observing, is what my grandmother used to say: "We are
too poor to buy cheap stuff."
People are sick-to-death of garbage.

My countertop sales prove that time and time again that people want
something real and are willing to pay for it. This town is full of
Volvos, Hondas, BMW's and Toyotas. And it is not that the garbage is
cheap either. Those manufacturers aren't satisfied by selling you
****, they want top dollar for their ****.
