FWIW, I've heard bad things about almost all of Porter-Cable's line except things like routers and circular saws. They seem to make rock-solid things-that-spin-fast-and-hard, but more trouble with things that are a little more delicate.
Also, FWIW, Porter-Cable (and Delta) are now owned by B&D, too. That only happened about a year ago, so they might not have sent all that factory work to the lowest bidder yet.
Interesting. Yeah, my sense was that Porter-Cable does a good job with the "durable and beefy" part, but maybe less well with the "light and well balanced" part. Too bad about the B&D acquisition. It's a drag to see smaller companies with a quality ethic get sucked into the unit-cost vortex.
