Breaking Ground with American Manufacturing
Milwaukee proudly announces a groundbreaking development in the world of hand tools.

With these exceptional American-made hand tools, Milwaukee boldly steps up to outperform their top competitors, such as Knipex, Klein, Wiha, and Wera, renowned for their top-tier hand tools. It's a promise that's making waves in the industry. While their existing imported Milwaukee hand tools remain available at a mid-range price point, the introduction of these USA-made models is a game-changer.
