I had my brother send me these toy drills and drivers for when the wrists are tired and limp. https://www.us.hilti.com/cordless-systems/cordless-kits/3536731.
Before I had him send them as personal property to my UK address I talked to a man in the local Hilti shop about 400 metres from the Hilti UK headquarters. I showed him the price and slickert beast that he was he mealy mouthed an explanation of how local markets dictated prices. 330 million people, local market?
My employer has an account there and the best the rep could manage was £315. If you as a casual buyer price the same items you will find £396 (all of the numbers above are plus the dreaded).
So, £169 (weeks before the pound sterling took its current course to becoming hamster bedding) versus £345 or £396 if you are a walk in customer.
In the eighties Japanese industrialists/carmakers called the UK "treasure island" for good reason.
As for the drills/drivers, they are superb for overhead work of the smaller fastener and hole making, lots of grunt for very little mass.
