Milwaukee 5540 polisher on Amazon
I bought a 5540 polisher at amazon. I bought it because I reviews said made in USA. Mine was made in China! It didn't sound like an older milwaukee polisher I had that was made in USA from the start. I spoke with them on the phone and then sent the tool in for repair , I got an email saying it wasn't covered under warranty. What!! They said it was out of warranty and it would be 137.00 to replace the armature..WHAT!! I choose to have it sent back to me , and they sent it back taken apart!! Totally disassembled!! The internals on the polisher look brand new , even the case looked brand new. Their made in China versions of anything are not the same as made in USA products.Never again milwaukee your tools are garbage. I wanted to support an American company but it looks like I get to buy a new dewalt 849 or makita polisher. I might buy one of both. My dad and uncle swore by Milwaukee, thanks for screwing up a family tradition. I will never buy milwaukee or recommend milwaukee to anyone as long as I'm alive.
