When is Porter Cable going to update this and include a built in charger and USB charging port? I am looking for fewer tools to drag out everyday!

There was a charger. I added a car charger and protective cover from an eBay source. I don't recall now if I printed out the manual from the internet or it came with it but I needed to enlarge it on the office printer and refer to it a lot at first (and I felt it left some things unanswered) There are still features that I am not very handy with. I have had trouble figuring out how to download pictures from it to my laptop. I was very happy to advance to the 'smartphone' and start adding apps and share pictures and the Net10 deal was my best option at the time. I have gotten good service, but I found that you sometimes have to poer all the way off, to sort of reboot it when you start having some glitches with it (rare)

Heya. Yeah, I had one of these too. Somewhere on the unit, there's a small square/rectangular slot. that's the charging port. It should have come with a charging cord. It's been a while since mine was stolen though and I could be wrong. It may use micro USB to charge instead. if you want a new one, serch for one on 'The Wirecutter'.

Not quite sure what you are asking. Is this the latest model. I believe so. You can also update via your computer using USB cable it comes with.

Do a quick Google search. You will see the differences between the new version and old version. It's been a while, but I don't remember mine coming with a charger. It's micro USB and they're so common around my house that I didn't have an issue charging it. Also, I received the new version. Which is better.

Is the "tool case" in the photo just for the charger and any accessories, or can the drivers fit in there too? Just from the photos, I'd have to say unless the tool case is part Tardis, they aren't going to fit.<edit> Nevermind. I just saw a picture of what looks like to be this exact impact driver combo with both drivers sitting in the case on either side of the charger.

Yes, it does! If you listen to the video it says: that it takes "industry standard guides!" So please unless you know, don't answer a question! It can use Porter Cable Guides because they are industry standard!

Mine came with a charger, but not one that can disconnect into a USB port. It came with a quick start guide....I had to download the manual from the internet.

They had to disable internal support; as far as I know there were no updates; and it's a dead product idea; which is a shame because it worked really well. I just got a $14.95 bluetooth nub... I know there's only so many ports then you need a hub; but.... it's /nosupport.

it comes with a charger and a small plug that fits into the tool , no assembly required .i have already reviewed this tool and in my opinion and that of others reviewers a hand tool with a razor works better , is faster and more efficent !

John, there is no USB charger or cable included. I purchased the charger and cable earlier.

Rick, I have this Porter Cable unit and it does not have a light on the bottom. The unit is handy and I like it but, it is not very powerful and should be used for trimming and light routing. It fits nicely in your hand and easy to control. This unit is similar to DeWalt because they are owned by the same company. Stanley Tools, DeWalt and Porter Cable are all owned by Black & Decker. It's all one big group. That is why you'll find some interchangeable parts that fit, i.e. bases.

Hey, thanks for that info. I'm glad that I used this 'post' to get your input. My 'new' 4250 has 'shipped', just got the e-mail. I'll let you know if mine has the AC Wall Charger included in the box.Thanks, again, You made my day!!!

As far as I can tell you need a Porter Cable 2" blade for FF work. Amazon's price is $50.00. I've owned a PC557 version 3 for over 5 years and it is an excellent tool with one exception. When using the dust bag, the tool is prone to sawdust clogging the dust port. Frustrated by having to use a coat hanger wire to unclog the machine every 4 cuts, I came up with a modification that has eliminated this problem for me. All you need is Rockler item #42251 ($7.00) and an 8" plastic wire tie. Discard the removable tube that normally connects the dust port to the bag. Cut off the small first step on the Rockler #42251 hose adapter. The new opening now matches the diameter of the dust port. Unzip the dust bag. Insert the hose adapter into the bag with the small end protruding from the spring clip opening. Loop the wire tie behind the spring clamp and tighten. Attach the protruding end of the Rockler adapter to the dust port. Using this fix, I have gone from 4 cuts and a clog to 20 cuts and no clogs on pine, popular, and red oak. I offered this solution to Dewalt/Porter Cable and they showed no interest.
