came accross this website that is selling very very cheap dewalt and makita drills. is this some sort of scam? saw min order is £1200. but the drill prices are less than half price than here in the uk. surely this cant be for real??

"Danontoolcom accept the following payment options:

1. • Payment Via Bank Transfer
   • Payment Via Western Union"

There's your answer.

Would you buy £1200 of tools from a company in Indonesia, shipped from Singapore, that you have to pay duty on through customs?

You won't have to pay duty because they'll never arrive.

Hilti are very particular with selling there tools, normally sold via reps who will do site visits or you can buy direct from Hilti website.

Typical scam In my opinion.I have the makita LTX702 kit which cost £650-00 incl VAT... site advert is $259-00 says it all

bought a MAKITA BHP452RFWX LXT 18V LI-ION COMBI DRILL DRIVER from ebay for £145 bargin compared to other sites, inc similar on screwfix.
the li-ion batteries are much lighter and last alot longer than normal batteries.

Because anyone can get web hosting and google doesn't actively moderate listings, it's all automatic.
