Black&Decker also swallowed PorterCable.
My little onehanded belt sander died on me.
On the outside it was a beautiful well designed tool. Perfect dust collection.
Before Black&Decker bought the classy name, PorterCable tools never died.
Have to remember that a company that is known for lousey tools
Is always going to sell lousey tools. Even if they bought a peerage.
I will never buy PorterCable again.


I also develop close relationships with my tools.
The tool won't bite if I respect it, give it the attention it deserves.
Still nterested in next generation nice little belt sanders.
But an imitation, never. A good tool is eager and dependable, hardly ever lets you down.
Never had a decent relationship with Black&Decker.
Shoulda known.
NO BLACK & DECKER TOOLS ARE MADE IN THE U.S.
