233rd Space Group

This is a Brand Name Only requirement for the part numbers listed above. The 233rd already owns and maintains an inventory of Milwaukee 18V cordless tools. In order to match the existing tools as well as maintain continuity with the batteries and chargers already in use, Milwaukee is the only acceptable brand.
