Milwaukee electric tools are a favourite choice
for construction workers in many different trades.
This popularity is due in large part to Milwaukee's
great reputation for quality construction and
reliability, as well as the fact that Milwaukee
makes some of the most powerful electric tools
ever seen. Milwaukee
tools may come at a higher
price than some other manufacturers; this is
because they offer top performance for professional
users. Most Milwaukee tool owners, however, would
agree that this performance and reliability is
more than worth a few extra dollars.
The history of the Milwaukee Electric Tool Corp
The
Milwaukee
Electric Tool Corp was founded by
A.F. Siebert in 1924. Their first product was
one the world's first lightweight ¼ inch
drills, the "Hole Shooter." This unique,
lightweight drill could easily be wielded with
just one hand, making it easy to use. The company
also pioneered many other innovative products,
such as the "Hole Hawg" drill and the "Sawzall" reciprocating
saw. These tools allowed contractors to simplify
tasks such as drilling large diameter holes through
beams in compact spaces.
An important part of Milwaukee's early history
was their repair services. Milwaukee employees
actually spent a lot of their time repairing
drills and saws made by other manufacturers,
and as they did so they were able to identify
design flaws and usability issues that could
be corrected. They then put this information
to good use designing their own power tools.
The Milwaukee standard
Throughout
its history, the Milwaukee Electric Tool Corp
has set rather than followed industry standards
for building electric tools. In the 1930s Milwaukee
created tools for the United States Navy that
were actually better than what their contract
called for – from then on
the navy adopted Milwaukee's standards as their
own.
Because of Milwaukee's reputation, professionals
have often turned to the Milwaukee Electric Tool
Corp asking for better power tools. This was
especially true in the company's early years,
when industry leaders like Henry Ford sought
Milwaukee's innovative thinking on drilling technology.
Other industries and trades that have sought
Milwaukee's expertise include welders, plumbers,
and contractors. All of this experience means
that when you are looking for quality tools you
should choose Milwaukee electric tools.
