Lithium-Ion Hands On

Tools of the Trade: "It would be hard to find any tool category in the history of this industry since the advent of the electric motor that has grown as fast as cordless lithium-ion (LI) tools. Since Milwaukee's official launch of the category two years ago, we've seen every major brand quickly enter the market with expanding lineups and with no slowdown in sight. The speed at which these brands have all entered the market indicates how close everyone was with their product development when the floodgates opened."
