In Memoriam: Porter Cable 18 Volt System

[@TheDigitalslayer]

I used to have this tool set back in 2014, It worked good but the ni-cad batteries didn’t hold up compared to my coworkers 20 Milwaukee and Dewalt sets. Years later when my ni cads started to go bad. I then purchased the 20 V porter cable set and I’ve been using it since. The quality of the 20 V set was far superior.

They sell an adapt that it takes the new 20 volt lithium batteries if the tools are still good I was raised they still work keep them going eBay has the adapters Amazon check that's if you want to keep this line I have a Porter cable I got new from my father in 1994 a model 629 6-speed tiger saw with orbital action it's worth keeping for me I have a DeWalt 18 v reciprocating saw sitting in a box it still works I just don't feel like behind the adapter for the 20 volt batteries

I switched from the dewalt 18v lithium ion system to the kobalt 24v back around 2016. Still use my dewalt impact as there’s nothing wrong with it.

My Charger says Lithium, no mention of NiCad.
