Founded in 1924 for the sole purpose of developing innovative, heavy duty tools, Milwaukee has not strayed from that calling. Their trademark red tools have become recognized the world over as a symbol of quality and durability. Milwaukee tools originated for professional use, but many serious do-it-yourselfers have caught on to their utility, and Milwaukee tools can be seen in garages as well as on construction sites around the globe.

Milwaukee power tools are available in both 120 volt and 230 volt and a recent survey found that Milwaukee held over 137 U.S. and 179 foreign patents. These innovations include the Tilt-Lok'„¢, which became the first adjustable handled circular saw, and the Sawzall, a Hatchet® reciprocating saw with a six-position rotating handle.

If keeping up-to-date with new products interests you, you should check out the V28 Lithium Ion Series cordless tool system. Other Milwaukee cordless tools include a band saw, circular saw, hammer, drills, wrench, and more. All Milwaukee cordless tools operate via a reversible battery pack.

Their selection of corded tools is extensive as well. Milwaukee drills offer both keyed and keyless chucks, in models designed for specialized usage like close quarter drilling. Compact models are also available that allow for two-handed drilling.
