Thanks for the info, I am heavily invested in the Toughsystem and if I buy a radio this will be the one.

I’ve been waiting for this one. Where can I pre-order?!

I hope the EU version will have DAB+ (digital radio)

 

The only thing I wonder about is the external power adapter. Must be to rule out interference when charging I think. 

Other than that it is a fancy radio. Finally bluetooth built in. I don’t really need it, but I want it 🙂

What’s a press release without more marketing photos! Excited to hear this one for myself.

Long time to see! Where have you been hiding?

I’m in the same boat. The BlueTooth speaker I have is more than sufficient but I really want this.

Looks like availability is going to be in October with a $229 price point.

Yup, I got that email too I might have to start investing in Tough boxes soon. There so nice I’m afraid they might walk away with all my tools inside if I buy them, I have an open style tool bag. I get scared to leave it where I can’t see thinking somebody might just grab something.

Wow….that’s a find!

DR99Member since Nov 2012

They clearanced out the Tough boxes in a lot of stores. It’s weird HD would still stock it in store. It could just be a special offer not a full time sku.

BigmikezMember since Jun 2013

yea they only carried them for a bit in my HD then the Ridgid came and took there spot

RickyMcGrathMember since Oct 2014

The HD’s in my area are about 50/50 as to still has Tough boxes in stock at full price vs who has cleared them out at a deep discount.

I wonder how this secures on the brackets since there are no side handles?!

I also read on another toolblog that the external powercable/adapter (that you see in the TIA sneak peek video) is a temporary thing and that the final cable/adapter is/was still in development.

I do hope they can find a way to put that adapter inside so you only have a cable running out the back.

Maybe just a gravity style lock? It’s clearly suspended on the cart in the video. Here is a freeze frame of the end of the box.

Nice!! No 20v tools for me but I love the ToughSystem

ChrisKMember since Dec 2012

Yeah, love the system but for tunes my PB360 can’t be beat. Get it? Beat? Huh? Oh yeah!

Mr. YellowMember since Jan 2011

I think you are right Ricky. Didn’t think of that. Seems like gravity will do the trick 🙂

 

@KWC, any ETA on the European launch?
