DeWalt has been B&D's high end, professional line of tools since the early-mid 90's. That was about the beginning for the yellow corded/cordless tools.
Porter cable has only been since about 05
Actually Porter Cable was started in the early 1900's and was purchased by Rockwell Manufacturing in the early 1960's and then Pentair in the early 1980's. I purchased a PC router and orbital sander in 1986, which by the way are still working great.

The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.
