I received this in my email.



To all Milwaukee Heavy Duty Club Members:

We have great news to share!

Milwaukee Electric Tool is being acquired by Techtronic Industries Co.
Ltd.
(TTI), the world's fastest growing power tool manufacturer. Although
you
may not have heard about TTI, you're probably familiar with some of the
brand name products owned by TTI, like Ryobi power tools, Homelite
outdoor
power equipment and Royal and Dirt Devil vacuum cleaners and floor care
appliances.


Oh yeah, knowing that the company that made my heavy duty 3/8" portable
drill and well-designed, well-manufactured jig saw is now owned by the
manufacturer of Ryobi Homer Weekender tools and Dirt Devil vacuum cleaners
fills me with such inner joy I can hardly contain myself. I wonder if the
next generation of Milwaukee tools will perform like the vacuum cleaners
and suck?

Dan Perry, President
Milwaukee Electric Tool
