xcracer48 Posted April 5, 2009 Posted April 5, 2009 When will this be available and what will the cost be?
Bill-V8V Posted April 5, 2009 Posted April 5, 2009 Is that the newest model ? I heard it might be built in China :help:
Baron_Von_Awesome Posted April 5, 2009 Posted April 5, 2009 Th HD plus is the 7424 with a longer cable - it's been available for about 2 years. The newest model is the PC 7435, which is an across-the-board improvement over the 7424 and should be released in about a month:
Bill-V8V Posted April 5, 2009 Posted April 5, 2009 Yup, that is the one I was thinking about. Heard the China rumors but don't know for sure :(
Baron_Von_Awesome Posted April 5, 2009 Posted April 5, 2009 (edited) Yup, that is the one I was thinking about. Heard the China rumors but don't know for sure :( I was digging to find an answer for you, but couldn't come up with anything. Guess we're gonna have to wait to see whats printed on the side of the box. On the bright side, it's more of an evolutionary change than a revolutionary one, so if you stick to the 7424, you're not going to get left behind. Edited April 5, 2009 by Baron_Von_Awesome
Superdutytd Posted April 6, 2009 Posted April 6, 2009 Goes to 6800 now, might be better for doing some bigger jobs? Mine gets hot, I wish it had a better cooling system.
jjwvette Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 I hope Porter Cable doesn't go to China to have it made:loser:
Chewy Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 I wish it wasn't so big around. I have big hands but I can see where the Flex would be the stuff for professionals. The smaller handle would be the bomb IMO. Chris
Adam Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 Thanks Brian, and I'm looking forward to the new unit!
BrianT Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 Adam, of cource I just got mine last week and all of your great smeeling products yesterday!!! And NOW they come out with a new tool:lolsmack:
Adam Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 Adam, of cource I just got mine last week and all of your great smeeling products yesterday!!! And NOW they come out with a new tool:lolsmack: No need to be sad, from all accounts of people who have used both, the differences are VERY, VERY minor. (I certainly would not suggest that anyone who has a 7424 buy one of the new machines, as the differences are certainly minimal.) Don't sweat it, your PC is the one I will also continue to use!
Superdutytd Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 I wonder how much of a difference another 800 OPM makes?
Team Adam's Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 Not much difference at all. If you have a PC 7424 now no reason to sell it for this.
Loud Pedal Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 Not much difference at all. If you have a PC 7424 now no reason to sell it for this. :iagree: If your going to step up to something new get a Flex or Makita etc.
Superdutytd Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 (edited) Nevermind. Edited April 10, 2009 by Superdutytd
Baron_Von_Awesome Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 :iagree: If your going to step up to something new get a Flex or Makita etc. Step up to a Flex soon: the prices on all of their models ballooned about 15% on most sites.
challenger Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 is this thing out yet? adam are you going to apply this new PC to the starter kits once it comes out?
11chevz71 Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 is this thing out yet? adam are you going to apply this new PC to the starter kits once it comes out? I think it is out. It is 129 instead of 109
Adam Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 is this thing out yet? adam are you going to apply this new PC to the starter kits once it comes out? Indeed, the old 7424 will be replaced by this machine, and we will be sure to include this unit in the new kits. They (Porter Cable/ Delta/ Black & Decker) keep delaying the official launch. They said at first, early May, then, Mid June, now, it's anyone's guess. The changes are mild, and the new machine is not something that I would swap out my old trusty 7424 for. Stay tuned, and when they arrive, we'll be offering them! Thanks
