Just came across this problem recently regarding DeWalt UK and tools purchased brand new but from Ebay and American sites. Seems unless your tool sports the CE logo , meaning it's made for the european market,DeWalt will not honour the warranty, even if you purchased brand new and have proof of purchase without the mark your stuffed. I like many others purchased some American DeWalt tools because prices are far cheaper but not if they have no warranty. DeWalt say they will fix it but I have to pay the full price for parts/labour. So think before you buy American DeWalt tools!! Good Luck to all u Chippies and a big Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year.
