Porter Cable began its journey in 1906 as a jobbing machine and tool shop brand. Now, over 100 years later, they're cemented as a well-respected company across various industries.

This page will provide you with as much relevant information about Porter Cable as possible, where you can seek help, download manuals, and navigate existing problems and solutions available on this site.

Porter Cable Information

Porter Cable air compressors are sold throughout North America online via "certified" dealers and through Home Depots, Lowes, and other factory outlets. While Porter Cable seems to be primarily in the hand tool business, with air-driven fastening tools a big part of their product mix, they are also purveyors of air compressors.

Their offering of air compressors provides the Porter Cable equipment user with a necessary accessory for their air tools. You need compressed air to drive air tools, and if a Porter Cable air tool user needs air, they can get their compressor from them too.

Porter Cable offers some garage-type air compressors, with 60-gallon and 80-gallon tanks. The broad mix of air compressors seems to be a portable type, mostly for job sites. Porter Cable along with Bostitch are now subsidiaries of Stanley Black & Decker.
