Though this Porter-Cable tool is priced higher than comparable DeWalt and Makita models, the 557 is Amazon.com’s top-selling plate joiner. Its success is perhaps due to its very powerful 7-1/2 amp motor–the largest in the industry–which turns the blade at 10,000 rpm and does an excellent job of making clean cuts in any kind of wood. As well as cutting slots for the standard no. 0, 10, and 20 biscuits, Porter-Cable’s joiner...

To be honest, we looked twice at the price, certain the folks at Amazon had made a mistake. But sure enough, they’re right–and so is the price. Porter-Cable makes some of the best pneumatic tools in the industry, and these nailers are two prime examples. The 16-gauge is sturdy, compact, lighter and quieter than you’d expect with a grip even smaller hands can get around. Great balance, easy depth-of-drive adjustment, and a pleasure...
This magnesium round-head framing nailer from Porter-Cable is a rugged, lightweight piece of equipment. The nailer’s magnesium housing is several pounds lighter than regular models, but it still offers the durability you expect on the job site.
