Even when they still had brushed impact drivers I abused the hell out of mine doing steel roofing. I'd use the back of the gun as a hammer to stamp deck screws through eave trim while my boss pulled his hammer out every 3-4 feet. Then I'd turn around and drive 500-1200 1 ¹/² screws through metal into wood fur strips in a day for several years. Bought a new brushless one and the motor crapped out just driving screws within a few days
I too own a PC circular saw. My dad bought back in 1960 at the Army & Navy in Victoria. Of course it was when 7" blades were the size. 2 years later the saws moved up to 7 1/4" and stayed that way for many years. Meaning, if I want a 7" saw blade…I would have to luck out at garage sales. Mine still has the steel blade that needs sharpening. Carbide tips were not a thing yet. I did luck out and did get 1 blade with carbide tip missing the odd tooth. Still have original carbon brushes in the 120 volt corded motor. (I have been meaning to take them out to see if there is any brush left. Some other day I guess. Built 3 houses with it so far.
Ive used the heck out of that saw for five years and it is still going strong….never once had it stop like that on metal……of course I use the correct blades for the material I am cutting. I also use their impact drill drivers and have punished them for the same five years one of those died recently after an exceptionally grueling session. I also have no complaints about the battery performance. I will admit I take good care of my tools and do not abuse them too much. They are light but pretty rugged.
I have a black and decker one I don't think it is even up to this standard, doesn't work the best with metal. But just pruning or cutting branches etc. It works pretty darn well. Hasn't let the smoke out yet even though it vibrates more than it actually cuts.
I use to stay loyal to a brand. Not now. I have all the porter cable tools right as they discontinued the brand. Big corporations buy and sell and close out. So I will buy as I need instead of buying a huge multi tool platform.
portar cable is the best you ape
i bought 7 tools for 200 dollars . so they are definitely cutting corners

They slapped the Porter Cable name on Bleek & Dicker tools.

I'd love to see the 23 gauge m12 pin nailer on the infamous healing bench
That Bosch miniature chainsaw turned out to be used regularly on this show.
Great review
Get a Borsch….lol.
Last time watching your vids with my kiddo (4) he successfully learned "Fokus you F**k" :D:D:D:D:D
You're out of your box! I've used the same porter cable for 10 years! And still going!
