"Outstanding Tile Saw"
By Home Inspector
The MK-100 10" 1 1/2HP Tile Saw is an excellant saw for the money. I researched many different brands and sizes of Tile saws. I wanted one that could cut a variety of different types of tile and the ability to diaginaly cut twelve inches. I talked with an MK service rep and he said the MK 100, their newest saw, was basically the same saw as the 101. It does have a different motor and there is no cover over the slide assembly. The MK-100 will cut 12" floor tile in about three seconds. The saw sounds the same as the 101, basically the same machine, just two or three hundred dollars less expensive. The saw comes with a very good instruction booklet and everything needed to cut tile. The Diamond blade could be better, but you can easily replace it when it becomes dull.

I highly recommend this versatile saw to anyone that wants a great saw , at a great price.

Great work tool
By Lowery Smith
The tool does a lot of work steady will cut the larger tiles. Not as noisy as some of the smaller machines. Needs some space to use and is a little heavy for one guy to move around well.

MK-100 10 Inch Tile Saw
By Mark Williams
The saw worked great cutting the 1/2" thick slate tiles that I was using. Cut the tiles like butter. It was easy to assembly right out of the box. Nothing complicated about putting it together. It is a little too heavy to be moving around by yourself. So I attached it to a hand truck to get it in and out of my garage. You definetly want to cut tile outside. There's always a mist of water coming off the blade. The hot dog blade that came with it worked fine too. I put the water pump in a separate bucket of clean water. I don't think the pump would hold up for long putting it in the plastic tub under the saw. The water off the blade creates a pretty thick slurry that would be hard to pump. The only problem I had was I didn't get the cutting kit that was promised with the order. After a call to Amazon it arrived 7 days later. Very pleased with the saw and it will last for generations in the family.

Excellent
By Rombo
This is a great must have tool for DIY wood floors. While every company that's in the tool business seems to make a nailer (Senco, Bostitch, etc.), what sets the Porter-Cable apart is it's balance and civilized look. The look doesn't matter, but if you don't want to mar the wood floors by having a tool keel over and damage the floor, then this is the tool to get.The "last nail" comment is a very true. If you try to drive that single last nail, unpredictable results may occur. In my case, I had to throw the piece away (actually cut it for the closet), since the last nail went in almpst parallel to the surface of the wood and skimmed the finish off the top. If the wood hadn't been there, it probably would have shot across the room.Finally, although the pneumatic nailers save you from backbreaking hammering, the nose takes more than just a light tap. A slightly sharp wack will drive the nails perfectly. Too soft and the nails don't get driven all the way. Too hard, and I'd be afraid that the tool would get damaged.One more item to note is that depending on the hardness of the wood flooring, you will have to adjust the air pressure to prevent cracked tongues. This isn't a FCN200 issue, but just generally true overall.Highly recommended.Review Update:After 4 years or so, the tool is still as good as the first day I bought it. My initial personal project was about 800-1000 sf. I'm now past 2500 sf (helped two friends install their floors in family/living rooms) installed and another 1500 sf or so more to go for my own house.This is a professional tool and the quality shows. I haven't had to have it rebuilt or order parts. Clean it ocassionally and use oil and an air filter and forget about it.Review Update 2:Still going strong after 7 years now. In fact, I had some floor professionally installed (about 2,000 sf) and the Ramm (something or other) that the installers were using broke on them. They ended up using my nailer for the last 1,500 sf. The installers commented that they liked the FCN200 nailer better.Review Update 3: (28-NOV-2012)After over 10 years of use and 1000s of square feet of installed wood later, the nailer has developed a small leak in the nose. I suspect it's because I've lent the nailer out quite a bit and have been remiss in cleaning and maintaining it after each return. Regardless, I purchased a kit on the internet for sub $20 and have replaced the O-ring. Everything seems to be on-track once again. No leaks and the nailer functions as it always has. $20 repair after 10 years of very regular use is stellar in my opinion.

Last cleat symptom
By A Customer
I read another review of the last cleat problem. I had several instances where the last cleat damaged the job before I realized what was happening, the tool also "dropped out" as many as four of the last cleats. One set of four got jammed in the mech. and was necessary to disassemble tool.I called the Porter Cable factory they said, "never heard of that problem, the tool should drive the last cleat".They did reccommend that I take it for warranty repair. I examined the pusher mechenism and could see the reason as the pusher does not go completely forward to push cleat against wall of dispenser. The pusher also hangs up at the last four or five cleats because of the latching arrangement causing the cleats to drop out. A visit to my local tool store showed the same conditions on the same model. I am using the tool to install brazilian cherry which is very hard, there is no problem in that respect it drives the cleats home every time and the tool is easy to use. I have been using Porter Cable products for 20 years and never had a problem before. If they re-design the pusher and refit the tool I will give it a 5 star rating.

Porter-Cable FCN200 2" Flooring Cleat Nailer
By A Customer
Excellent nailer. I have laid over 1,500 feet of flooring with 2 jambs. It takes about 45 seconds to clear a jamb using the provided tool. Also the last nail in a set from Porter Cable seems to eject about 20% of the time which is not a big deal to me. Tells me to fill up. I let someone who used a hammer nailer use this one and he could not believe how fast and how much more power he got from the floor nailer.After using for a few days and since the 2 jambs I have not had any additional problems. Senco nails for me are better than the Porter Cable. Senco nails have a glue that keeps them together where as the Porter Cable break like staples in your pocket or pouch. Overall an excellent tool but for $400 plus what do you expect. If you are on the fence over various brands go with Porter Cable. The nails are available locally and the tool performs well.

Best rotary hammer made
By John Sink
I have been in the plumbing industry for 12 years and have been using a Dewalt 565K rotary hammer for the installation of gaslines for about 3 years. I have used just about every other rotary hammer on the market and in my opinion the 565K is by far the most reliable and BEST there is. I especially like the lightweight body and the dust cover where the bit slides in. More importantly I love the performance of the 565K (it's quick). As anyone in new construction will tell you time is of the essence. Definately a five star product. Thank you Dewalt for making my job much easier. John Sink, Kimmey Plumbing
