Now, if we could only convince LV to enter the power tools for
woodworking
arena.

I think Festool has that covered.

Yeah, but we would/might benefit from the competition. The minimal existence
of quality competition to Festool gives them little incentive to lower
prices.

At the very least, on-shore manufacturing could mean lower prices. I'm tired
of having to pay exorbitant brokerage (legal theft) handling charges
whenever I have to get something shipped into Canada that we don't have
here.
