Off to USA next week and so I did a bit of research to see what the dollar - pound comparison was like for a few small tools to bring back. I was surprised that the K3 was only 17% cheaper and the wonder dogs at 15%. The smaller tools however seem to have the biggest markup over here.
If I have to pay state sales tax that K3 is best bought here.
