From the USA ,,dont know ware or when it was

 

[Shutesy]

Thought it was about time they did a proper one not the silly drill contraption!

Wonder if they got pressure relief on it cause that's one thing all these guns lack.

One you tube vid says it has to avoid blowing bearing seals ,also two speed pumping

What i mean is a way for them to release all pressure in the hose when you stop the trigger. ideally back to the cartridge and not a valve that you have to undo and dump it externally. Would save a lot of hassle and be a major selling bonus over any other brand.

I wonder sometimes are they well aware of that {tool manafacturers in general} and bring out the "MK2" version when they have the market full of MK1's, just another way of selling more stuff.
I mean I'd probably trade mine up for a relief valved version if it came out.

Any news on when this will be released in the UK? And an approximate price?

 

[Lewis]

Any update? Ate they available yet in the UK?

£239 on Amazon, body only, hopefully the local dealer will be cheaper

 

[Shutesy]

Seen a few review videos popping up on Youtube lately so it must be released

Going to put a Makita battery conversion kit on the Draper one when the crap battery dies.
