Before I found out the fact Porter-Cable/Delta had been to sold to B&D;, I found Porter-Cable tools to be of high quality, and very reliable. Alas, the future is quite dark for Porter/Cable loyalists. For now you will get no more than grown up toys not a high quality professional tool Porter-Cable was famous for. Now though instead of replacing my Porter-Cable tools with more Porter-Cable, I will look elsewhere for the same level of quality.Do not get me wrong, once upon a time B&D; made very good power tools, but in the last 15 years or so I have found them suspect, even the more jazzed up DeWalt, so called porfessional tool, is not what it once was. What a mess.
