Since its founding in 1924, Milwaukee has focused on a single vision: to produce the best heavy-duty electric power tools and accessories available to professional user. Today, the Milwaukee name stands for the highest quality, durable and reliable professional tools money can buy.
Milwaukee was founded in 1924 by A.F. Siebert around the "Hole-Shooter", the first lightweight, portable, one-handed 1/4" capacity drill. The Company continued its reputation as an innovator by designing a unique, space-efficient Right-Angle Drill in 1949, the first self-contained portable electric hacksaw, the Sawzall reciprocating saw in 1951, and the Hole-Hawg high-torque drill in 1970, all of which became the industry standard for contractors. After 1-1/2 years of rigorous testing, the Super Sawzall reciprocating saw was introduced in 1991 with an industry leading 10 amps and 0 - 3200 SPM.
