Went into a Lowe's yesterday to kill some time before a friend's daughter's high school graduation party and found a Porter Cable.
It was a different model than the 7424XP. It was a 7346SP. Looked the same to me, except for the plate that was on it was for sanding.
It also had a the foam pad/plate similar to the one with the XP, but it actually seems softer and a slightly different color. I use the foam pad to hold a microfiber bonnet.
I couldn't find one in a box, so I went to the cashier and asked if someone could find it for me. A sales associate looked and couldn't find one either. I offered to buy the display, but commented it was missing the wrench could he sell it to me at a reduced price. He said 10% was the max he could discount the price.
So before tax, it was $116.00. I have an XP already so the missing wrench is no big deal. A fair price I thought and made my random shopping a success for me.
Got home and checked the specs on the Porter Cable web page and other than the attachments, the XP and SP seem to be a similar if not the same tool. It noted the weight was different, not sure why.
