Hate to rain on your parade but from Wiki:

Milwaukee were always my favorite tools:
"The Milwaukee Tool Corporation is a brand of Techtronic Industries, along with AEG, Ryobi, Hoover, Dirt Devil and Vax. Ownership history:
1924: The Milwaukee Electric Tool Corporation was established by A. F. Siebert in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
1975: Sold to Amstar.
1986: Merrill Lynch acquired it.
1995: Sold to Atlas Copco.
2005: sold to Techtronic.
Techtronic Industries Company Limited (SEHK: 669, OTC Pink: TTNDY), Techtronic or TTI, is an investment holding company.[1] Its products include Milwaukee, AEG, Ryobi, Homelite, Hoover US, Dirt Devil, and Vax.
