I'm not sure what the wording is, but a moulded plug is not, AIUI a
requirement. It must be fitted with a plug, however. In any event,
this drill did have a moulded plug. Just not a UK one. :-)
As fitting the supplied adaptor was pretty much fool-proof, I think
they can get away with it.

The trouble with the law is that, quite often, the letter and the
spirit don't match well, if at all. Usually because the people that
pass the laws have little or no understanding of the issues they're
legislating on.

Ah, you're a "glass half empty" man, then. :-)
