Local production is always good, so this is good news. But I fail to see that 'this changes everything'. That tone of the article just feels patriotic. What will change, exactly? Did I miss some facts? As for quality, regardless of whether it's with or without power, I doubt there is a big difference in US, German, Japanese, Australian tools -- it's a matter of preference and workshop organisation (e.g., for cordless power tools, the batteries should fit what is already there). One company may have a slightly better circular saw (Festool?) the next has a slightly better plunge router (Triton?) -- whatever. But most of that is marketing and branding policy (DeWalt is for the tough and sweating man and Festool is for the clean and thoughtful engineer -- but is there a quality difference in their cordless drills?) Milwaulkee is good and in the same league and I don't see changes coming by this.
