...Wow,what a thread!! I'm more confused now than I ever was..Having been a devoted DeWalt fan for some years now,my beloved 18 volt hammer-drill went kaput,and I needed a replacement pronto,and a buddy o' mine swore by his Milwaukee,T-handle 18v. hammer-drill,he played it up so much,I had to get one,..so I did,and found out (too late) that the darned thing was made in Czech Republic..a real bummer for me,as I thought Milwaukee was the last to "sell out" to the overseas markets and cease making stuff in the USA.I've always bought their corded drills,sawzalls,..etc.I really think it's a sorry state of affairs when a great American company jumps in bed with an inferior,cheap,overseas company instead of keeping jobs over here and making quality and reputation a #1 priority over profit...Milwaukee joined the ranks (in my opinion)with "loser" companies like Black and Decker,and Ryobi,..to name a few,..and I expect their quality to suffer as well..
Disgusted...
