Altan Posted January 31, 2022 Report Share Posted January 31, 2022 I do not understand why Stanley-Black & Decker has made the cordless tile saw for Craftsman and Porter Cable but not for DeWALT!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fm2176 Posted February 1, 2022 Report Share Posted February 1, 2022 SBD seems to have an...odd...marketing sense. I agree that a DeWalt cordless tile saw would be a no-brainer for those in the market for such a tool. Last I checked, Porter Cable is all but dead, while Craftsman is a budget pro brand at best. Neither offer the battery capacities that DeWalt does, and the new 15Ah battery would probably power a tile saw for quite some time. Even better would be a 120v Max FlexVolt saw with the ability to use the miter saw's adapter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR99 Posted February 2, 2022 Report Share Posted February 2, 2022 This saw was intended for the DIY crowd. SBD could do a cordless tile saw but the capabilities and price point would be significantly more. It seems like Porter Cable is now exclusive to Tractor Supply as a house brand which seems like a last gasp before the brand either is killed off or retired. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shame that Porter Cable has been relegated to such. Honestly, I'm surprised Tractor Supply still carries the brand, though I guess it makes sense. around 4-5 years ago they had most of the PC stuff on clearance, with the 4Ah batteries marked down to $20 or so, but then they restocked with newer stuff.

Houses are old in London and lots of them needs to be refurbished, I am sure it will sell here very well. I would buy 10 units myself for my friends. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think a DeWALT version would be costly for SBD as it can be rebranded Craftsman / Porter Cable version working with DeWALT batteries.
