Look at the reviews. It appears to be poorly built.

I generally find Porter Cable to be a pretty good value in cheap tools, but I'm not sure on this one.

864 reviews with 4.7 overall rating and that's not good enough for you?

Look at the pictures and top reviews and you'll figure it out.

Since you can't read past those few bad reviews (most for battery life), I'll advise you not to buy this, but for others who can I advise them to buy as nothing compares at near the price.

I thought you would get it, but evidently you didn't take the time. The base is made of a plastic prone to cracking. That's with fresh plastic. It will be much more brittle after a few years.

I would advise anyone to buy tools that last without a major known issue. Not doing so is foolish, and you shouldn't try to spread your foolishness and prevent someone else from sharing a legitimate concern.

If someone accepts this limitations and wants a cheap tool, that's fine, but they should know there are better alternatives that will last far longer and perform better for a bit more money.

Post the better alternatives for a bit more money, and hopefully they have over a 4.7 user rating.

So is Stanley Black & Decker killing off the Porter Cable brand? They have so many tool brands, seems like it's getting crowded.....

Maybe "Black and Decker" will be their cheapest brand, "Craftsman" above that (replacing Porter Cable?), and then Dewalt is their high-end brand?

(Edit: My hypothesis is WRT a "family" of cordless tools. The PC brand might get used for some more specialized power tools. This is all speculation, but one might not want to spend money on a family of tools + compatible batteries if it's being discontinued.)

My windshield is a bit scratched up due to my cheap wiper blades. Will this be powerful enough to smooth out fine scratches?

Anyone familiar with the typical design of this style sander? In the applicable Amazon reviews (where the thing fell apart) it looks like it is a high ratio belt driven situation under the hood. Interesting as I've never seen this before.
