Bought the 2 drill deal and the batteries wouldn't charge because they 5 years old and from what porter told me that's what happens when they haven't been charged for a long time.
BUT, I did a search and found a way to jump start them to get them to charge and it works. Here are the instructions, https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=SOe...p=2AFgkAIB

Porter Cable's 20V tools are being cleared out at Tractor Supply, and the appeal is the low price on basic homeowner tools like drills, impacts, saws, grinders, and corded options. The line has worked well for occasional home use, and the batteries can even be adapted to Black and Decker or Ridgid setups. Availability is the main snag, with many items out of stock or tied to old batteries that may not charge. It is a practical bargain if the needed tool is actually in stock.

The corded angle grinder, recip saw, and hammer drill are very tempting. Cheap throw around tools that you wouldn't mind your friends borrow.
Looks like they're all available for delivery in my area. Delivery comes out to $15 for all three tools.
They were great as a basic homeowner set. Installed many things in/around the house + the cars. Never had an issue.
Now... when I use my father's tools (DeWalt Brushless) I can absolutely tell the difference in quality and torque output etc.... but for something I use maybe 3-4 times a year... great investment.
