**Milwaukee Tool was founded in 1924 by tool and dies manufacturer A.H. Petersen. At the end of World War I, Henry Ford, founder of the Ford Motor Company, asked Petersen to produce a portable and light, ¼-inch capacity power drill to replace the large, cumbersome units used on Ford assembly lines. Petersen created the Hole Shooter, the industry's first lightweight, one-handed drill that drastically increased productivity for assembly line workers. The Hole Shooter was game-changing for the industry. When Petersen’s facility was destroyed by a fire, his colleague, A.F. Siebert, bought the business with the aim to develop the Hole Shooter under his new enterprise, the Milwaukee Electric Tool Corporation.
The company's next step forward was the SAWZALL™ Reciprocating Saw in 1951—the first portable electric hacksaw that employed a reciprocating mechanism with only three moving parts. A range of SAWZALL™ Reciprocating Saw Blades enabled users to saw all types of materials, adding to its versatility and market appeal. As residential construction flourished in the United States, Milwaukee power tools became a common sight on the job sites. By the 1960s, Milwaukee Tool had become a market leader expanding into new product lines and increased its manufacturing capabilities to keep up with demand.
