Milwaukee 28-Volt Lithium-Ion Job Site Radio $90
By Stephen Cooke
Work is always easier with some good tunes in the background, and Milwaukee (like other manufacturers) makes it easy to bring a boom-box to work: their job site radio runs off either 120V AC — with a pass-through so it doesn’t eat a precious spot on the power strip — or any of Milwaukee’s 12 to 28 volt power tool batteries.
It features a Rockford Fosgate 44-watt two-way sound system with a “three-stage Puch EQ bass boost” as well as digital AM/FM tuning (with 20 presets) and an aux input for your iPod or portable CD player. It also ships with a detachable storage bag and a 10′ extension cord — in case the power’s not as close as you’d like.
Street pricing starts just shy of $100.

Do a search on the Amazon price high and lows sites and you’ll see that this radio was about $55 the other day at Amazon.

Good choice for their “buy set get tool free deal”

Well spot Julian, I missed posting it a $55 i was a day late. Still is not a terrible price but not a steal like earlier.

I have one and I love it. I had the 18V drill/flashlight combo with two batteries previously so I didn’t need to make the investment on batteries. I took it to the beach and was not able to run down the batteries in less than 8 hours. It has an external audio port which worked well with my friend’s ipod and a pouch on the back to store it in safe from dirt/sand. Sturdy build as usual from Milwaukee.
And it ROCKS!!! It has a ‘Bass Managment’ button with four different levels and the highest definitely punches.
