It's not actually too hard to walk into a big box store like home depot or lowes and find US made hand tools. They tend to be higher priced but quality is pretty variable.
Almost all the power tools are made in china, though.
- wrycoder 4y agoMilwaukee is the respected name in professional power tools. It's great to see them opening a plant in the USA.
- bityard 4y agoMy experience with Milwaukee is that their power tools are better than average, but also much more expensive than average. I got the impression from the article that they would only be making hand tools in this new factory, not power tools. Those will still be made in China. And like I said, it's not difficult to find US-made hand tools in stores today. So Milwaukee will be competing with the likes of ChannelLock, SK, and Snap-On. (And maybe Craftsman? I don't know where they are made anymore.)
