Milwaukee Tool is adding several hand tool sets stamped with “USA” branding, which How-To Geek said means the tools are made in the USA from USA-sourced materials. The report was published April 30, 2026.
The tools
- A 6-piece set (MT500-6) with 9-inch linesman pliers, diagonal pliers, 7-inch long-nose pliers, wire strippers and cutters, and Phillips and slotted screwdrivers, with a PACKOUT organizer.
- A 6-piece Comfort Grip set (MT550-6), a 6-piece dipped-grip set without the case, and several 2-piece packs.
- Launch is set for June 2026 through Home Depot, Acme Tools and other retailers. Pricing has not been announced.
Why it matters for Made in USA
Hand tools are one of the few categories where buyers can still find unqualified Made in USA claims from major brands, and Milwaukee is competing directly with Klein. The “USA” mark applies only to the new items, not all Milwaukee hand tools, so buyers should check each package.
