I used portercable cordless tools years ago when I first started working. Top quality stuff and I could beat the hell out of them, but the batteries lasted a year.
Switched to Milwaukee 28v stuff. Again awesome tools with plenty of power, had the kit for 7 years and used them hard every day, but **** batteries that crapped out every couple years.
I bought the new rigid 18v kit a year and a half ago. Good stuff for the price but not quite as nice as the other tools I have used. Ive broken the flashlight and the drill chuck already twice. Batteries are good so far though and they have a very hard life with me at work. I wont buy from them again though for the same reason as bonzo. The warrantee is bs.
My co-worker uses new Makita tools and the batteries are junk as well, the sawzall is junk and the basic cordless hammerdrill/driver is cheesy.
