Probably a neutral factor in the decision, but this quarter's edition
of
Axminster's "Review" magazine landed on the doorstep this morning,
containing an article about Makita's manufacturing facility in
Telford -
apparently the last power tool manufacturer in the UK.
The 4340 is made there...

Makita are made in the UK???
If that's the case, I'm old fashioned enough to say it makes the
difference
and that's where my money will be going.
Thanks for that.
Jim
yup - I was surprised too.
It does just appear to be the top-end tools though. Pictures of assembly
lines with rows and rows of alloy gearbox castings. 4340 specifically
mentioned as one of the UK models.
Sounds like,me an assembly plant rather than manufacturing plant.
