I waited for a long time for this Dewalt tough radio to come out… Wasn’t expecting the new milwaukee. Now it’s a tough decision. I have both platforms already and I have three tough boxes… Which radio is best and why??
Which Milwaukee Radio? Their new one has 2 speakers and doesn’t have bluetooth. The other one they have that came out in early 2014 has bluetooth, but I can’t find anywhere how many speakers it has (i’m going to guess 2).
The new dewalt has 4 speakers and 2 subwoofers and features all the bells and whistles. Bluetooth, Charger, USB Charger. It’s also built into a tough system box. I think your decision should be a no brainer.
I second that! Being as I just picked one up today, this is, hands down, the best job site radio available. Period.
The new Milwaukee has Bluetooth and is a charger… Up to 100 ft. I’ve been trying to figure how far away dewalts connects to Bluetooth. A lot of people really like the Milwaukee but they’re both 199…
This is the new Milwaukee radio: http://toolguyd.com/milwaukee-m18-jobsite-radio-2890/ – It has no bluetooth
This is their bluetooth radio that came out early 2014 that I think you are talking about: http://toolguyd.com/milwaukee-m18-bluetooth-jobsite-radio-charger/
All bluetooth is similar, they advertise up to 100 ft of range, when in reality you get about 30′
The new Dewalt radio is a charger as well.
Yea j was talking about the second one.. Which one is all around better?
