Milwaukee has 2 plants in Mississippi, Dewalt has/had one in North Carolina, and if I remember right Makita has one out west somewhere. Not that long ago Milwaukee was still making a few 28 volts tools here, but I can't say for sure that's still the case. Most of the few power tools that are still made here are corded tools. Wayne: I'm going to look into this, but I don't believe the Milwaukee routers are rebranded Bosch, at least not on our side of the pond anyway. Makita still has one in Buford Georgia . my 5 " corded makita came from there they still make that in the USA and idk what else all of there stuff at one point was made there that was sod in the us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Bosch, if that's true then I guess I actually have a Bosch router! I have that plus the Ridgid palm router which is sweet. So here is the question, who is actually an American manufacturer of tools? Obviously not cordless power because as far as I know there are no cordless tools made in the USA. I have a Craftsman circular and radial arm made in USA but unfortunately that is it! DeWALT has cordless tools assembled in usa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true but when I wrote this FOUR years ago they didn't. Now? Look in my shop. No Milwaukee and tons of Dewalt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jronman Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 One correction that is easily missed is Chevron and Chervon are both companies but Chervon makes Skil and Skilsaw (also makes Ego) Another thing is the Emerson Ridgid does make some power tools but it is on a different battery platform which can be confusing.

kornomaniac Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 And Hitachi koki doesn't own Hitachi/metabo anymore. That's been sold off and that's why they are getting the name change to hikoki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiltiWpg Posted July 17, 2018 Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 Hilti and Panasonic are manufacturing partners.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiltiWpg Posted July 17, 2018 Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 I have always said Makita must be making some of Hitachi’s tools. I looked at what Hitachi has out now and there is no way that Makita isn’t making some of it!Look at the Hitachi stick vac, Fan jackets, impacts, drills, heated jacket and rotary hammer! They are carbon copies!Also, they have the same 18v/14.4v versions as Makita.Not all tools mind you, but a lot.http://www.hitachi-koki.com/powertools/products/li_ion/li_ion.htmlSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mycrossover Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 Bosch owned Skil when this thread started but sold it to Chevron. Emerson Electric owns the Ridgid name. Thy make electric motors, the red Ridgid plumbing tools and Sears and HD shop vacuums. They licensed the name to HD for the orange and black hand tools. HD has those tools made by TTI. Just to make things more complicated, companies lease their name to other companies for specific products. That is the case with HD Ridgid. Ryobi manufactures a line if power tools, sold in Japan and Asia. They sold the name to TTI for a different line of tools that they can sell everywhere except Japan and the rest of Asia.Those are the ones we see. One correction that is easily missed is Chevron and Chervon are both companies but Chervon makes Skil and Skilsaw (also makes Ego) Another thing is the Emerson Ridgid does make some power tools but it is on a different battery platform which can be confusing.

True, Assembled, but very few of the parts are made in the USA, they ship parts in from China and elsewhere, then the slap the motor into the plastic case and advertise “Made in America” that’s a known fact.

Eric - TIA Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 So many companies are doing this, it's sad. Wish we did more here in the states. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
