Milwaukee got bought out in 2005, so they have been made in china for 17 years.
17 fucking years.
Anyone who says they are "living on the reputation of the original company" is a complete fucking retard.

People act like they got bought out a few years ago, when in reality some of the chinese tools are months away from being able to legally buy cigarettes and lotto tickets.
It wont be long till there are guys on the jobsite who werent even born when Milwaukee was made in the USA.

The spectacular reputation of milwaukees lithium powered cordless tools has absolutely nothing to do with their reputation from 30+ years ago pertaining to corded tools.
