In the UK Milwaukee’s release schedule is around 6 months behind the USA. If you are on YouTube at all you’ll probably have noticed the hype in America around Milwaukee Gen 4 over the last few months. Watching the videos demonstrating the tools I couldn’t help but think to myself, what is Milwaukee gen 4? Which Set is gen 3? What gen tool do I have? Milwaukee have named their new tools “Fuel Gen 1, 2 and 3” so, although fans dub this new release Gen 4 it is more correct to call the tools in this article “Milwaukee Fuel Gen 3”.
