This is the new one by Dewalt.. I have been told the sound quality is vastly improved,,

[TT Tiling]

good radio dave if you use it to charge batts ,but the best sounding radio by far is the makiter and its lots cheaper

The new one above is FM and AM..

[Sir Ramic]

I have the old Dewalt but have to agree its not that good, great for charging batteries and plugging MP3 player in.

[merlecollins]

I've got the Makita one - tremendous and I can hook my Ipod up to it

The builder I've been working for last week has a couple of those DeWalt ones on the job - too big for my liking But everybody to their own

[Sir Ramic]

Oh and the screws in the cradle fall out all the time.

I seem to recall the Gadget Show tested tough radio's on one of the series a couple of years back. their test results might still be available on their website, so I'll go and have a look.

FiveFWD - Wild Challenge - Part 3 video from The Gadget Show

rugged radio's were tested in this show... can't find any reviews for the others that were tested tho.

I've got a £5 special, its along the same line as those £5 kettles, but sounds ok and I dont have to really care about it breaking.

[doug boardley]

I have a Bose

I'm also married to Scarlett Johannsen

[diamondtiling]

Old dewalt but it needs changing for the new digital switch over whenever that happens.

[Burnsy]

£8 pocket radio from Aldi, works a treat

[poynton phil]

I'v got the dewalt one, sounds fine too me.

[Dave]

My radio at present is a DAB/FM one and the Ariel has just fell off.... using a brick tie for an Ariel.... hence my reasoning for a robust radio..

[david campbell]

£30 from argos and treat it like my tools,it's lasted ages and is still spotless

[garythetiler]

i have the makita best thing since sliced bread, there is a distributer in Hatfield Herts ,who is really cheap and has the genuine uk models in stock, he supplies most of the south with makita tools and always has good deals going cant remeber the company name i will try and think of it,the makita's definately the best site radio bar none

I'll probably get a bosch (not bose) one for when I start back full time makes sense as all my cordless tools are bosch

[Dave]
