Hi Greg,
I absolutely agree. But a free market should be a free market, not only by law, but also in diversity of the commodities. Therefore one may think, that Festool could offer the small items all over, and if they find, that it's really hard to sell certain items like for example the ones you mention (which I don't believe it har to sell in the States), then at least offer it on a basis of ordering it.
Cheers,
