A few months ago I bought a Milwaukee 1/2" magnum from Home Depot which
was on sale for $99. I have used it a couple of times and it is as powerful
as most say. Just last night I was out in my shop just looking over some of
my tools and I happened to read the plate on top of the Milwaukee. The first
thing that jumped out at me was- Made in China. I shouldn't have been sur-
prised as everything else is made in China nowadays, but it never occurred to
me that although I knew Milwaukee was owned by another company, that
their tools, at least their famous drills, are being made in China. I also just
bought a cordless Makita drill. It too, is made in China. The only thing really
bothering me about all these Chinese made tools is their longevity. Will they
hold up over the long run? What are you all's thoughts on this?
