    Ok, it may charge batteries but £190 for a site radio? when you can buy several power tools that actual do the work.

    Not sure who is more bonkers the manufacturers or the people that have the money to burn on them ?

    The only music you used to get was the old weathered labourer whistling away some old tune

    its a lovely bit of kit, very loud, good sound, Bluetooth, dab,waterproof compartment to put your mob in while its charging it.
    having a radio is as important as any of my tools,
    its only money after all lol

    Pha, can see why they didn't take off - doesn't even make cappuccino let alone have Blue tooth to let the guy know when the drinks are ready ;)

    Any self respecting builder you can't be seen drinking a mug of tea these days - you just wouldn't look cool would you

    I got one of those for the job I'm doing at the moment, and it's a cracking little radio. Why I would add an extra £100+ to the price for DeWalt to add a roll cage and some bright yellow plastic I don't know.
