- Something is happening at Porter-Cable. Their Instagram suddenly came back to life only 6 months ago, after being completely silent for 3 years. The last time they posted a UA-cam video was 4 years ago. But this morning, we may have good news for Porter-Cable fans. It looks like the sleeping giant just might be waking up. Let’s go.
My dad, who knows I run a power tool testing channel, STILL uses all Porter Cable cordless. With the current offering, he's got more brushes than a dentist's office. I think they will do just fine with the brand.
They have been available at Tractor Supply for years.
Family! Am I right?
@@ToolswithSoAlz Costco now too sir!
not holding my breath. They killed their routers recently which were the last of the quality professional tools. Their good belt sanders went away a long time ago. Stanley killed them. They could have turned them into a premium brand to compete with the likes of Festool. But instead, they turned them into a Ryobi competitor.
Yea I thought exactly the same
100% my friend. Kinda sad.
Id even argue ryobi still wins over porter in a lot of cases, lol.
@@ChasenWolf sad just sad, PC was the name for years. wow
This news was about as exciting as the opening of Al Capone's vaults.
That was the worst when geraldo Rivera. open that up and nothing I know what you mean not impressed maybe they got some hiding from us and it works but I doubt it's going to even impress us
It would be an interesting announcement if they still had their router lineup
Probably just the same tools as the Craftsman version but with PC colors and a different battery connection. I feel bad the routers are gone they are workhorses.
I love Porter Cable. I've always been biased towards them, Hitachi, and Delta. Hitachi is obviously doing great right now as Metabo HPT and Delta just started making the Ridgid NEXT tools. Hopefully Porter Cable can get back to a good place as well.
I am a farmer in California. I know PC has become more flimsy. Though they are also pretty cheep. They do the job, though not as well as my Flex or Craftsman power tools.
Here is why I still buy Porter Cable: Their air tools are still awesome. I have five barns and lugging around an air compressor to all locations is a pain in the butt. I can have a good compressor and tools in each barn and not break the bank.
Their 20v line is a travesty, though if they get lost or I drop one out in the orchard its really not a big deal. Cheep enough to replace. The 5.5 inch circular is great for cutting fencing. The recip saw is garbage, but is good for pruning.
Porter Cable has a niche with farmers. Lets see what they do with it.
I have always found the tool section lacking in my local tractor supply, this will be a welcome addition. Maybe I’ll even stray from Milwaukee a bit
First sawzall i ever used on a jobsite back in the 80's was a PC. The first car polishing machine i ever bought was a small PC. Welcome back
This is why I love your channel! A brand I have never heard of before and I don’t believe ever to grace the presence of the UK shelves.
That's because they sold Stanley Fatmax 18V overseas. They actually sold the first Stanley Fatmax 20V in the USA at Walmart and Menards in 2012 but decided to make it the overseas brand and only have Porter Cable in the USA.
If it’s just going to continue to be the craftsman of Lowe’s, only now for sale at tractor supply, they can keep it. I’ve been burned on two pc combination kits.
Once upon a time PC CORDED tools were some of the best tools out there, and all had made in USA labels on them, in my younger years working in cabinet shops and then having our own millwork shop for almost 30 years, the majority of the tools we had were PC. There 691 and 690 were the only routers we had and 360 and 361 belt Sanders also. I'm retired and still have over 30 of there routers in my small shop. All of a sudden though there quality went to Hell and stuff didn't last any time at all, and many many more tool brands were entering the market so they pretty much destroyed themselfs with there now, awful quality. I've never owned one of there battery tools but some guys in the shop did and they said they were not much good. There gonna have a big hill to climb to gain back there once loyal customers like I once was, wish them well but not expecting much from them, these days.
The tiger saw that they once made was the absolute best. Then in 2004, dewalt’s sawzalls were just as good. I had the tigersaw (corded). I bought a b&d battery combo that just didn’t last. Then I bought a pc combination set. After 2 years, the batteries wouldn’t charge. So my dumb a. goes and buys the then new 20v pc set. I wisened up and got myself some Milwaukee tools.
I don’t know anybody that has PC battery operated tools. But On the other hand a lot of the trades people that I know run portal cable routers and pancake compressor and nail gun’s
Clint from Tool Review Zone spoke about their partnership with Tractor Supply and they sent him a welcome kit that contained a drill, 2 batteries, a drill bit set, and a thermos with TS and Porter-Cable logo on it. He thinks their removal of the rotors was maybe a possible introduction to new products I guess it will be a wait-and-see thing.
Yeah we got the same kit. The included drill was 4 years old, so we didn't really focus on it. We're far more interested in what will show up in 2022. Hopefully two such enormous companies working together, will justify a significant investment in new tools. There could be some really cool things yet to come.
@@ToolShow only time will tell. But so far a lot of people have given up on their line. Tractor Supply does not have any locations near me and I do not want or need to start with another battery platform.Do with them luck
@@ToolShow We need a full review on that thermos!
@@denoftools LOL your comment reminded me to even take it out of the box. Turns out it's a custom printed Thermos SK2010MSTRI4, in Stainless Steel, and it has over 18,000 killer reviews on Amazon: amzn.to/3nYJKSz
@@ToolShow did you guys get one of those yeti tumblers from Flex? If so you should totally do a comparison review between the two
I think you're over-playing this. TSC is nothing compared to Lowes and Home Depot ($8B sales vs. ~$110+/90B). Ace Hardware does almost as much sales as TSC. Cripes, Menards, which isn't even in half the USA, does 50% more revenue than TSC. If SBD put DeWalt exclusively in TSC, they'd lower their sales volume by like 10x. This is a nothing power tool brand going exclusive with a nothing retail chain but trying to make like its a big deal in order to not lose what little relevance they have left. *yawn*
I hear ya Robert. I think the point was, that while their stores are smaller, it's because of their their target demographic. The big boxes are aiming at all DIY and construction. And while TSC has much smaller stores, their focus is smaller. But with 1,900 locations, they have a lot of reach. What we Don't know, is exactly how much of an investment TSC and PC are making in this deal. We'll only know once we start seeing the new tools in 2022. And I certainly wasn't suggesting DeWALT could have been put exclusively at TSC. The intent was to suggest they could have just added TSC as a distributor of DeWALT, and moved on. Instead, they're apparently working closely to build a line of power tools specifically for the "Rural Lifestyle". I have no idea how that will pan out, but I'm anxious to see what they come up with.
Thanks for the video. I was wondering where they went as far as in store somewhere.
I know the bear is pissed!
Makes me want to smack someone with a salmon!
@@denoftools I’ve never met a bear who is willing to give up a salmon.
@@LLAMA-LLAMA To be honest I'm more of a Trout bear myself.
Looks like I will be shopping at TSC more often now.
What did you mean could of just put dewalt in there? There's been dewalt in Tractor supply more than any other tool brand and I noticed porter in there a few months ago with 2 small end cap rows worth and the prices were crazy. Tractor supply looks like its going out of business where I live due to rural king next door who has milwaukee and dewalt tekton and a few more great brands
I bought a set for around the house 7 years ago. The brushless impact finally started smoking and the batteries don't last that long anymore. I've now invested my money in Dewalt XR tools the last year and couldn't be happier. Moral of the story is I think Porter Cable waited too long and the ones that bought into them like myself have moved on to platforms that have 100s of tools and amazing battery technology. Don't think ill ever buy another cordless tool from them after they ghosted us for 3 years. I don't see this working out well for TSC especially since all the farmers and country folk I know run Milwaukee or Dewalt cordless tools. But I guess we'll see
That was such a great news!!! The best way to go for the brand!!!
I have most all the 20v Max tools since 2017. they never had a problem keeping up with any of the other tools our family used. We did commercial and residential contracting. They went through some big jobs like some roofs we put on a couple of the huge buildings here in the City. I figured I would have worn them out by now we did some major jobs with them. I just shined them up today. Dad retired, but i still have the PC tools remodeling a 6 apartment building I bought right now. i don't know what people expect nowadays lol they have been great. Your average person doesn't need anything more expensive 😂 On r other hand my 20v Atomic series impact driver 300 dollars I just had to have, I have babied, kept it in my house for small things and it's acting stupid.
I love the old 7424 polisher. I have a few.
Stanley B/D owns porter cable, and craftsman, Irwin and DeWalt.
Why all the hate for porter lmao. Most of these tools share the same guts (model dependent). But these are no different than brushed DeWalts.
My DeWalt 885 brushed impact is going strong after 10 years of hard work.
I think there might be a few fanboys commenting here.
Tools are good when they work a d do their specific task. Porter cable is a brand that generally had a quality tool, as are most products owned by the conglomerate. A day in day out professional wouldn't choose them these days, but that doesn't mean it's not great for a homeowner or handyman.
I know guys that make a killing using Ryobi and Ridgid cheapies.
Chill out on the brandism and be thankful we have some great offerings from many companies.
This is all coming from a DeWalt system user
I think tractor supply should go all in…. All porter cable corded and cordless. Then bring in the big woodworking tools…. If some investment was made I think PC could become one of the top woodworking brands again…. Meh, maybe I’m just pining for the New Yankee Workshop days….
Sleeping Giant is an understatement
I hope porter cable comes out with a rolling drawer box system
My TSC's have had PC forever. They also have DeWalt and Matika, and then IR air tools.
While not "exciting" news by itself, I do think its interesting that they started carrying makita a few months back, and now have porter cable as an exclusive
TSC has been selling Dewalt and Milwaukee. I get their email promos and they seem to be pushing PC tools now. I would buy them if they were able to use Dewalt or Craftsman 20v batteries.
I hope porter cable Comes with big plans👍
TSC picked up Makita as well. I hope they become a viable power tool retailer.
Yeah I saw that when I was there the other day. I wasn't shopping for tools, but for deer feed. I peeked in the tool aisle and yeah, it needs help. Sounds like it's in line for a major makeover! Looking forward to it!
My question is, are the batteries updated or are they selling old batteries dated 5 yrs ago?
Hi rob, wow I haven’t heard from them in a long time! I tough they went oob, your right they should’ve put dewalt in there it’s excellent exposure for them lol,
Tractor Supply has carried both Dewalt and Porter Cable for years. This isn't a new partnership at all but an expansion of an existing relationship.
Stanley Black Decker put in craftsman v20 and call it good
This is great to see I was a lil bummed when I walked into Lowe's and they said we don't carry PC anymore I've used Pc for along time and when I bought some new stuff I chose pc again because they had metal gears etc where the other big name brands had all plastic internals
Still have my PC tools but still waiting to see anything. Stanley screwed us all with that stupid decision to put PC on the back burner. Have a 690 and was just getting ready to buy a couple more when I got the news they don't make them anymore. I refuse to use Ryobi and Bosch would be my only other. Stanley needs to bring back the entire PC line with upgrades.
tractor supply doesn' Focus on the sale of tools as we do in pet food. we are the leading seller in pet food in the country.
It is a potentially good partnership, but I'd be skeptical unless they showed a strong commitment in continuing at least their pneumatic and sanding tools, if not their dear departed routers.
Sounds like PC’s deal with Lowe’s fell though since Lowe’s now has flex. PC when at Lowe’s was basically a zombie brand of kobalt tools. Don’t believe me go check out the AVE video where he rips PC apart. To me it looks like Stanley need a place for their PC brand and found TSC. If they actually bring the tools back to what they were from 15 years ago I would consider PC again. Could be good for the PC brand. Not stuck in the yellow and black and more affordable hopefully.
Lets hope they change the colors.
Unrelated but, Rob, your intro always is out of sync with your lips! Like watching some old dubbed over monster film...LOL..love it!
I wonder if Black and Decker will get a revive
That's why I still see in Is Costco
Ive used the PC power tools for a while but ended up switching to Kobalt since they had more tools
Black & Decker - Stanley has been preoccupied buying MTD and Excell (Hustler)….
PS - The recall on table saws and the lawsuit with Lowes didn’t help….
Welcome back power tool fans, my voice still isn't in sync with the video.
LOL nope. Not super high on my priority list at the moment, but I'll get around to it. I promise.
SBD line consists of DeWalt, Black and Decker, Porter Cable, Bostitch, Craftsman and there may be others, can't recall or where they stand today (visit the SBD corporate page). Now what occurs is the lower lines are bastardized for price point, metal, plastic, rubber, boxes and bags, motor up and down grades. No innovation since Stanley arrived in the lower lines, margins business model. Remember when Craftsman had neat Christmas and Father's Day gifts, no more those don't fit the business model. Walmart for years wanted DeWalt, but no because it would cheapen the name. Look at the big boxes, little crossover everywhere. TSC and Porter Cable is a gimme because SBD isn't giving anything else and making it an exclusive for TSC, "this is where people will come to get there Porter Cable" certainly was the pitch.
So just rebranded Craftsman tools?
"Exclusive to Tractor supply" = No one else would carry them. Already got enough junk like black and decker and craftsman dont need a other bottom feeder brand.
You're aware then, that Stanley b/d owns them both?
@@OscyJack- I'm aware
Not wrong with the brushless craftsman, better than the Chinese owned Milwaukee
@@loucifer4205 Lou, are you ok? Seriously, you Ok bud?
@@waltkosch Are you OK supplying our enemy or is it your upset that you found out Milwaukee isn't a American company
Porter Cable is a combination of plastic, metal and sometimes battery that's garbage but labeled as Tools. Outside of their routers the is nothing else that's worthy.
Will they ever make new tools I wonder...
Or was the intent simply to find a storefront who'd sell their ancient 20v drills from 2011(exaggerating)
Are they still dropping their router line?
Sadly, it looks that way. The current line is gone for sure. The question remains if the "new" line of tools coming next year, will include routers.
@@ToolShow interesting, when I read you statement here, it made me think about a lot of the commentary that came out when Flex was announced. That what did the industry need another tool line for, are they too late. Is PC too late? I know they had some following, but next year to wait on the new tools? And if it requires new battery platform, that will be like a whole new entry into the power tool world.
Milwaukee has been a bit to quiet here lately
Brasil 💪👏👏🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
So does this mean that the routers are coming back because most carpenters I know love their tools especially the routers
I'm not hopeful. This new line of tools is for the Tractor Supply customer. How many farmers use routers in their barns? I honestly don't know. If any of you farmers would like to offer some insight, I'd be interested.
@@ToolShow if they draw inspiration from farmers like the one who runs the Rainfall Projects UA-cam channel then farmer-focused tool selection should be awesome!
In all seriousness though, I don’t hold out much hope for the PC brand. I have a few of their tools (router, sander, etc) but I don’t plan to replace them with the PC tools when they wear out unless they seriously step up their game.
No one was asking for the return of porter cable.
Porter-Cable died when they sold themselves to Stanley Black & Decker, never to be relevant again.
Oh, I... I thought you were dead.
Pc: my death was greatly exaggerated
Porter Cable Tools used to be the best American tools made but not anymore.
So I made a well thought-out comment earlier and it seems UA-cam removed it ... All because I used the word that's pronounced H8 in the context of how I feel about Lowes. I give up UA-cam. Freedom of speech is dead here and I H8 you too.
PORTER CABLE TOOLS ITS HOLD THE SAME BATERY FOR TRACTOR SUPPLY CO, ??????????????
PC just got CPR.
To anyone looking for power tools, DO NOT BUY PORTER CABLE POWER TOOLS, stick with the big 3
Porter Cable 20 volt tools are mediocre at best. If you have a problem you might as well toss them in the trash because you won't get any customer support.
My guess is that PC has lowered the once top of the line standards to jump into big box stores. Albeit an exclusive contract with TSC, PC may not have done due diligence on the ability of TSC associates to be able to answer the questions customers have. Seems like a sad Sears & Roebuck end is near for PC.
I would not but portacable they will just disappear again so why bother !
Poor cable was always cheap and dependable like a Toyota
Somebody should probably let them know the waltz been at Tractor Supply with Makita Nan Porter Cable here and there mostly DeWalt and Makita
