Milwaukee Power Tools

The Milwaukee name is most associated with robust and ever-reliable electric tools. Milwaukee power tools are truly heavy-duty. Because the company targets professional users, they make sure that each of their products exude high-quality and durability for repeated use.

Founded in 1924, Milwaukee holds its own against the century-old heavyweights of the power tool industry, as the original technology that first launched the company to fame was actually developed for Henry Ford towards the end of World War I. This technology was an industry-pioneering feat, in fact. Before the development of Milwaukee's lightweight, one-handed drill, only the strongest of mechanics could handle the existing bulky drills with much effectiveness. At only five pounds, Milwaukee's one-handed drill could take on the same forces imposed on electric drills designed for heavy work loads.

Milwaukee takes pride in a long history of meeting the specific needs of others and setting new standards in the process. Apart from creating the lightweight, one-handed, heavy-duty drill, Milwaukee proved itself to the welding community by taking the machine that receives the most abuse and making it both easier to handle while being able to absorb even more punishment as well. The result was a perfectly balanced 15-pound sander/grinder.

In 1949, the company introduced the industry's first ½" right-angle drill, which allowed plumbers and electricians to drill holes in tight spaces.

In 1951, Milwaukee produced the first portable hacksaw incorporating a reciprocating mechanism, which allowed rotary movement to be converted into straight-line motion. It had just three moving parts allowing it to withstand daily abuse while providing a ¾" stroke.

Today Milwaukee still focuses on the development of new, innovative drills and sander/grinders, and has expanded to offer portable vehicle chargers, abrasive cut-off machines and more. These Milwaukee power tools are available conveniently and at the most competitive prices on the Internet here on the NationwideTool website.
