Power Tools

Founding of Milwaukee Power Tools
It all began with the close of the First World War and Henry Ford asking A. H. Pertersen, a young manufacturer, to produce a smaller and lighter, conveyable ¼" capacity power drill to make the manufacturing of his cars faster and more cost-efficient. Thus was the creation of the first of many innovative Milwaukee Power Tools, the "Hole Shooter".

A.F. Siebert joined Petersen to form the A.H. Petersen firm in 1922. A year later fire and stepping back closed the doors of that first company. Milwaukee electric Tool Corporation was then founded in 1924 by A. F. Siebert buying the original A.H. Petersen firm at auction and marketing the "Hole Shooter". This was the first light-weight, portable, one-handed ¼" capacity drill ever manufactured.

Milwaukee Power Tools - Innovators with a Mission
Milwaukee Power Tools were created to fulfill a single mission; to produce the best heavy-duty electric power tools ready for pro use. They prolonged their mission in 1949 with their innovative and space-efficient Right-Angle Drill, in 1951 with the Sawzall, the registered name for a reciprocating saw that could take care of any job and is the tool most professionals carry today to get the dirtiest job done.

Milwaukee Power Tools - Creating business Standards
The next revolutionary innovation of Milwaukee Power Tools came in 1970 with the Hole-Hawg, the registered name for a high-torque drill. And the next in the line of Milwaukee Power Tools that have come to be business standards for pro electronic power hand tools was the Super Sawzall, the registered name for the newly engineered reciprocating saw that carried 10 amps and 0-32-Spm, the only one of its kind.
