Here’s a couple of rugged tools looking for a new owner. I bought this set in lightly used condition a few years ago and paid $175.00. Honestly, it was worth every penny. I didn’t really need it, but I bought it as a backup. I had several Dewalt 18v tools which I used more often than not, but you know how it is with cordless tools…you never seem to have a battery charged when you need one!
Realistically, these Porter Cable tools are a beast compared to the Dewalt tools. They are much more heavy duty. I may have used this set once or twice, then they have been sitting in the corner of my garage ever since. This kit came with 2 batteries and the charger you see in the photo.
I also started grabbing extra drills, batteries and chargers for these every chance I could, just to have them around if only for parts. That’s what you’re looking at in the blue bucket. I believe that there are 4 extra drills, 3 extra chargers and seven or eight batteries.
First reasonable offer owns it all
As far as the batteries are concerned, I don’t know what works and what doesn’t. What I do know is that batteries for these are available online, both new and rebuilt. I have printed information from one such rebuilder. You send him a dead battery core and he sends you a freshly rebuilt unit. There are also DIY kits for the same. Also, on YouTube there are several videos of how you can jump start dead batteries just like you would with a car. There are also snap on conversion units that allow you to use different brand batteries in these as well, several of which are currently being sold on eBay, so you have lots of options.
I’m trying to get better organized and as such I’m looking to pass along items like this one to somebody who can make use of them. If interested, email me through CL to make arrangements to come get these. Thanks for looking!
