What if those tools are hosted outside of the US where the DMCA has to force?

Certainly the US is a larger centre of gravity when it comes to tech, but it's not the only place.

DMCA 1201 is not an American law, it's just the American implementation of the anti-circumvention provisions of the WIPO Copyright Treaty. It exists in the EU (ISD Article 6), at the least. Given that the underlying treaty has 95 parties to it you're probably going to have to go deep into the third world to find a hospitable jurisdiction willing to host circumvention tools.
