The power tool market is likely more responsive than your average supplier. They sell a huge volume through a limited number of retailers (Home Depot & Lowes), and there are a limited number of manufacturers [0]. So if retail says there's a problem, it becomes a problem for them. The other side of this is professional customers, who will probably use the same technology. A tool that doesn't work if it's stolen off a job site is a big value add to professional contractors.
