Ownership guides: Milwaukee

Who actually makes HART Tools products?

HART appears alongside RYOBI in TTI’s June 2024 outdoor-tool presentation to CPSC commissioners. This establishes a historical business relationship, not that every tool used the same production line. [3]

Where are HART Tools products made?

May 2022 reporting identifies China as production country and the US as design location. It does not provide a model-by-model plant list, and it predates the reported exit. [4][5]

Is HART Tools made in China or the USA?

Historical China production is reported. A US design or founding location is not evidence that current HART tools are assembled in the USA. [4]

Same factory, different label

Milwaukee and Ryobi remain TTI’s core businesses in its 2026 interim report. Retaining HART’s brand does not mean its discontinued business still operates in the same way, or establish shared factories or compatible batteries. [2][1]
