    I believe it. By brother has a very nice porter cable router. They're still making some top of the line routers

    I was referring more to their other power tools like drills, drivers, circular saws, etc. Sorry if I offended :cheers:[/QUOTE]
    You didn't offend me at all, I don't have any stock in the company.
    I just know that all 5 of my porter cable routers are high quality tools, and so is the circular saw I have mounted on my panel saw, none of them were cheap you get what you pay for

    Definitely true. I've got some nice older porter cable stuff as well. The stuff I see in the big box stores though is going down in price and seems to not be on par with makita, Milwaukee, dewalt, etc anymore. But, that's the case with a lot of companies these days

    Usually on Black Friday sales though, lowes will put the porter cable multi tools on super sale, and they seem to get good reviews. I may snag one this year to give it a try
