My next door neighbor and good buddy is the materials manager for DeVilbiss in Jackson TN, air compressors and generators, and works closely with the crew at Porter Cable and says that the line of tools made today are 180 degrees different than the "old days". Plastic everything and metal nothing. I have been through the DeVilbiss plant with him and he has offered to take me throught the Porter plant but I don't really want to after I did the DeVilbliss with him. Not knocking their product or anything but I couldn't believe how many different companies they made compressors for and the only differences were paint and decals.
