I saw you guys just released another update on a new product by Milwaukee. Everytime I turn around they are releasing a new product. Is this good or bad? I have read their V28 batteries were having problems and I bought an M12 that turned out to be junk. Is this typical of power tool companies or is something going on with Milwaukee.
Personal opinion, when they sold out to Techtronics they are starting to make junker tools. Your right, they come out with all these tools, but they don’t have the quality they use to.
Milwaukee has definitely dropped off in the last 5 years since becoming part of TTI. I work for a vendor at Home Depot, and the returns clerk is always backed up with their tools! They’ve taken to calling them “Ryobi Red” since they seem to be little more than Ryobi tools in red cases.
Milwaukee has dropped a lot with quality now that it is overseas. Doesn’t seem like they understand professional grade tools. They just want toi put more and more out. Reminds me of what happen to Porter Cable after their buyout.
