Just like Ryobi, seeing as Milwaukee is owned by the Chinese company, TTI, it is safe to assume that most of their products are also made in China. Yes, for the most part, most of their power tools, specifically things like circular saws, power drills, and other such power tools are made in China. people think they getting the snap on of the power tool world Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I still have a Panasonic impact driver that's still going strong after 11 years, done a serious amount of work although the rest of their range was poor. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
