The business section of my local newspaper reports that Milwaukee
Electric Tool has been sold to a Hong Kong company, Techtronic
Industries Co. According to the article, that company is the maker of
Ryobi and Homelite products.


Editorializing:

I hope Milwaukee doesn't turn into another of brand that trades on
it's old reputation but is cheapened to the point of uselessness.
Where are we to buy tools if all the good ones become memories?
