5.0 out of 5 stars Best price vs performance, April 28, 2003

I'm not brand loyal, I look for the best tool at the best price. I searched the local stores and this tool offered 400 ft/lbs for 79.95. Works great for home/garage use and looks great too.The 20 pc socket set can't be beat for the price either.

Works well ,but not as powerful as claimed, I have an old cheapie from harbor freight with 250 lbs of torque, this porter cable is no more powerful than it is.

I bought this tool new and very dissapointed in it's performance. Rated at 400ft.lbs, no way, more like 120ft.lbs. Don't waste you money.
