Porter cable in the Uk for £80?

Guys,

Which of these two models do you have? They look identical except for the parts that come with it. Cannot see why the one with just the polishing parts is more than the one with more stuff?
Is this price good?
They also sell the transformers.

Porter Cable in the UK

Sorry if this link has been posted before.

Think this has been mentioned before. They are a US company located in California. £81 = approx $137. Buying from Autopia is cheaper, unlikely to incur import duty and you're guaranteed to get 5 star service.

Ditto, bought my PC from Autopia about 2 years ago and also bought the transformer from www.screwfix.co.uk for about 60 quid. Never had a problem and the service at the time was brilliant.

Ok...I think I get an impression that I should get mine from Autopia.. I just wish you guys would just come out and say it rather than beating around the bush...

Ordered today so should get it some time this week....feels like Christmas..

This will be my next purchase, looking at the results in many forums it has to be a must have item, I was toying with the idea of buying a cheaper model to try out, but from reading alot of happy chappies reviews, im going to raid the piggy bank.

Cant wait to try one out, oh and the smell of 'new' as you get it out of the box, not that I have a fetish, lol

Got mine Friday and cant wait to try it out. Just got to wait for the bloody transformer....

I will just have to take the PC out and polish it instead of the car...

Another great sale from Autopia.

Kev

ps. I guess most of you bought your transformers from Screwfix?

My transformer arrived today from screwfix. Very dusty even though it was in a sealed box. Had to give it a good wipe down. Good service from them as I ordered Friday. They tried to deliver my PC today too from Autopia but the twats must've buzzed the wrong door as all I found was a calling card saying they'd re-deliver tomorrow in my letter box.

I live in a three storey apartment block, OK OK a flat then and we annoying have 455 (where I live) and 445 in the same block.

That's impressive though a US order taking the same time as a UK order.
