i apprenticed on armstrong and milwaukee tools and can confirm about 15 years ago they spun off a cheap Chinese line that was complete garbage compared to the USA line. good enough for tightening the occasional bolt but fell apart under daily use.
It is. I have their battery-powered framing nailer, and the same battery drives the new angle grinder I bought. Both a great tools. You don't really need to buy on sale, because they will last a long time.
Yeah the electric tools are always good, I was specifically referring to "hand tools" like sockets, wrenches, etc. I have the newer socket set in the little packout case and it's nice.
