For most of my life Milwaukee tools (starting with my Dad's Sawz-All) were worth paying more for because of quality made in the USA. After too much time spent searching (Milwaukee/Amazon does not appear comfortable disclosing the location of manufacture in the product description, so you have to search the reviews to get the facts), this drill as well as every other Milwaukee product I looked at are made in China. It is not worth it to me to pay twice the price if it is not made in the USA/local. I can get a perfectly serviceable Dewalt for half the price. I am bummed to not be paying the price of my new drill into our economy!
