Graco uses DeWalt
Southwire uses Milwaukee
Zoomlock by Parker uses Makita. It's a press tool for our refrigerant fittings.

Was tricky to find the zoomlock press tool but I found it which means your correct and your turn

 

for Makita you could also say Greenlee. I saw their cable cutters and crimpers use Makita batteries.

Of course I'm correct lol. It's a specialty tool but I've used it so I should know haha.. also the Zoomlock tool is made by Klauke in Germany, which is owned by Greenlee!

How does this work? Are they under licence to use the batteries configuration? 

 

Yes. It's cheaper for them than designing and branding their own battery, and they know it's a wasted cost because no one wants to get into a battery platform for one tool.

Is this referring to cordless? If corded, then Milwaukee in the 1920's, I think 1924. 

 

I literally read this last night when reading an article comparing Dewalt and Milwaukee.

 

Or, I could have got things mixed up, I only had 1 hour sleep last night because the baby is sick (hence reading a ton of articles through the night :-\).

Electric/corded.

 

Technically, you got the bonus marks!

In 1924, A.H. Peterson developed the Hole-Shooter, a lightweight, portable drill that a user could operate with one hand. After fire destroyed Peterson’s facility, Milwaukee Electric Tool Co. acquired the product.
 

 

 

Ahh, close, that's where I got mixed up. It's lucky I even remembered Milwaukee was somewhere in the loop considering it was 4am when I read it.
