Angus,

You are not alone, this 65 year old still has working Porter Cable power tools purchased back in the early 60's. They were really great tools, my dad wouldn't purchase any other brand for his employees to use. You could take a Porter Cable saw, hold it down at your side and turn it on, they did not prroduce the torque roll action many of the other brands exhibited.

I am enjoying my Scottish tank, it was well worth every penny I paid for it. I get to wear the full kit again tomorrow night to the SAS Christmas Party. I am looking forward to it.
