Milwaukee
Milwaukee Power Tools is over a century old manufacturer of power appliances.
But how did it all begin? Well, with a simple request. The Great War was almost at its long-awaited end and the economy had to go back to normal and it had to go fast.
By that time Ford was already made a name and the car manufacturer was in need of better and faster tools.
H. Peterson, a young entrepreneur was already manufacturing instruments for the industry, but when Mr. H. Ford approached him with his request, “Milwaukee” as we know it today set the foundations for the modern tool industry.
The Hole-Shooter, a small, yet powerful, it became the first battery-powered, portable heavy-duty drill in the world.
A pioneering achievement that we continue to use today and one hundred years later it only gets better.
