Porter Cable is one of those brands that I like one type of tool and that's it. Didn't plan it that way but it works that way. The only Porter Cable tool I like is their routers. First rate for me. The rest seems average, the ones I've used that were owned by coworkers that is. They're sort of late to the cordless tool game, God only knows who makes them.
I only use two of the Makita tool lines, the cordless drills and impact drivers and a small table saw I bought in the early Oh-Ohs. I think they may have sort of pioneered the tiny table saw market. This one is way portable, more than most. The rest of their tool line not appealing to me. Their skil saw type worm drive really unpleasant to use. I have liked a couple of their chop saws but I own a 12" DeWalt. Great miter gauge, best in the biz.
I like Milwaukee's sawsalls, the rest don't draw me in a big way. Their drills are good but I prefer Bosch, and those are the only Bosch tools I own.
