99_XC600 Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 As I'm finishing up a couple of projects around the house. I desperately needed to round everything up and put everything away and organize everything. As I was collecting the horde, I figure I would post a glamour shot of the Porter Cable tools that I have and let them represent the other Porter Cable fans we have out there. We have the fan base of Team Red, Team Yellow and Team Green but don't forget about team Grey and Black or whatever color scheme they are trying to establish!.

kruton Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 At first I wasn't a fan of the design and color scheme of the PC but it has definitely grown on me. Great looking group of tools you've got there brother. Way to represent! Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboS1ice Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 I like the color schemes of the PC as well, very distinctive, nice picture! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

99_XC600 Posted April 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 Thanks! For the most part I'm satisfied with the PC lineup. My only gripe is that the offering is stagnant. In comparison with Milwaukee and Dewalt that they offer multiple versiions of tools within the same battery platform. With PC it's essentially that one tool and that's it with no updates or expansion. I went into Lowes the other day hoping too see the box but nothing yet. The 52" Husky is just about full. I've been thinking about grabbing a couple of the workbenches for additional storage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboS1ice Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 I would imagine they might get some brushless drills and impacts one of these days Jimbo Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fazzman Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 Thanks for posting bro,as many know I like Porter Cable. When i bought my first porter cable cordless drill around 15 years ago or so itwas a great drill for what i needed it for. It was 12v if I remember right and it came with 2.0 nicad batteries at the time. That thing was a beast for its day,one time it fell off of a 12' ladder bounced a few times on the concrete shop floor. To my surprise it still worked. When it died i had a hard time finding a PC drill that was as good. so it got upgraded to a Dewalt 14v. Its been at least 5 or 6 years since I owned any dewalt cordless. I had one of the first lithium battery Dewalt compact drills for a while but it died. Thats when i started getting the PC 20v line. The line getting brushless im not keeping my hopes up for that,considering how long it took them to get a hammer drill in this line. Its not like they dont have the ability,being part of the B&D family, I think most of their emphasis is focused on improving the Dewalt tech to keep a competitive edge. Judging by the new Dewalt gen 2 stuff it seemslike they are doing nicely. There is still a number of PC stuff im planning to get in time. I really like my PC corded circular saw,its a 15 amp beast. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99_XC600 Posted April 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 If I could get one tool from PC it would be a 20v ratchet for when working in tight quarters 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrich1 Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 Tool look nice and priced right, just not a fan of their rubber on the grips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMack37 Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 I saw the new PC toolbox today, I'm less thrilled with it now...It does have two handles in the lid, they're cupped handles. The thing that disappointed me was the thinness of the drawer bottoms, I was expecting it to be a little more robust. The work space is at a decent height and has some useful lines and measurements on the top, it also locks open. To close the work space you pull to lever releases in the track, they're the same levers you'd use to pull the drawer out. No price marked on it or any of the toolboxes other than Kobalt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea it was an okay looking box, nothing too special about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyB Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 Very nice, I haven't seen that one yet, is it cheaper than the Milwaukee and Dewalt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99_XC600 Posted May 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 The price point on this doesn't make any sense. It's going to be close to $700 with tax for a box that is smaller than the current offerings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMack37 Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 I'd go with Dewalt or Milwaukee. You can make your own work station, they literally used a thin drawer to make it...I'm sure if you're creative enough you can keep some storage and make your own.

kruton Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 It doesn't look bad, but for about the same money I would probably grab the Milwaukee. Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those that don't know the HF toolboxes are not typical HF quality. HF tool boxes are some of the best tool boxes you can get from the common stores(Sears, HD, Lowe's) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Making it a decent deal. None at my Lowes to give an honest opinion though. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
