Milwaukee Tool begins making hand tools in the U.S. — a first for the company
Getting in front of WW3

Fast-growing toolmaker, Milwaukee Tool, has opened a $55 million facility in West Bend, WI that will have about 150 people making screwdrivers and pliers. Other types of hand tools may be added later.

Milwaukee Tool, owned by Hong-Kong based Techtronic Industries, is attempting for the first time to make hand tools in the U.S. That goes against a general tool industry trend of more production in other countries.

The change pleases Ted Galbraith, who is the lead forge operator at the West Bend plant. "It's great to see some things come back from overseas, see stuff made in the USA. I've worked at
at other manufacturing plants where they were losing a lot of their work to overseas stuff. So, it's nice to see things come back this way," Galbraith tells WUWM.

So, just how is Milwaukee Tool going to make a buck making hand tools in Wisconsin?

Company official Tim Albrecht spoke at a ribbon-cutting ceremony in West Bend Wednesday. He said for now, the tools will be marketed to tradespeople such as plumbers, power utility workers, electricians and those working with heating and cooling systems.

It’s a start, good stuff.

Re: Milwaukee Tool begins making hand tools in the U.S. — a first for the company
As a tradesman I am very proud of my work and proud of my tools. If a USA made tool is available that's what I buy. Period.

But then again not many non-tradespeople are willing to spend $30 on pair of US made pliers when junky ones can be had for $6 and good quality foreign made ones can be had for $20.

I believe in American quality and the American worker. Professional construction workers and tradesmen are a different breed from the rest. We build, install, and service everything that is civilization.

My brother is a plumber and used to be a construction worker, he buys cheap tools because he knows they're a target for thieves.

OWNED BY HONG KONG COMPANY.

Still supporting CHINA. Every Chinese company is required to give a portion of their profits to the Chinese gov't which directly aids in building the military that could be used against us.

WAKE UP.
