How to Choose the Best Job Site Radio for you

Posted: 16 July 2014
Working on the site can sometimes be boring with the same drilling and hammering noises. Maybe it's time to get a job site radio to liven the atmosphere up a bit. But which one do you choose with there being so many on the market?

One of the most popular site radios on the market at the minute is the DeWalt DCR017 due to how multi purpose it is. The Radio has a DAB+ and FM tuner that receives both digital and analogue signals.

When the site radio is plugged into the mains it can be used as a battery charger for your Li-Ion batteries. The Radio also features a Tech Box on the side allowing you to store and protect your devices as well as charge them with the USB port. The Radio will also allow you to plug your phone in via the Auxiliary port to play your own music. The radio has a twin set of woofers and tweeters with ported bass for high fidelity audio.



If you are looking for a smaller and more compact site radio then the DeWalt DCR019 is ideal for you. The compact FM/AM job site radio is able to charge your 10.8V, 14.4V and 18V XR Li-Ion batteries on the back charging plate.

The site radio has been designed with an integral roll cage that provides you with impact resistance for maximum durability. The radio has a 3.5mm auxiliary port that allows you to connect portable audio devices for playing your own music. The radio gives you enough memory storage for 10FM and 5AM presets.




If you are a Milwaukee kind of guy with their range of tools then the Milwaukee C1228DCR would suit you better. The radio has been manufactured from a shock absorbing ABS polymer and steel construction protecting against abusive job site conditions.

The Milwaukee site radio is powered by a 240 volt mains supply as well as being able to be powered by a range of Milwaukee battery packs. The site radio has a weather sealed compartment on top helping to keep your devices and batteries dry and protected. Within the weather sealed compartment there is an auxiliary port for connection your audio devices to the radio. The radio has a customisable equaliser and a 10 station preset.





Are you a fond of Bosch powertools? Well Bosch have the GML20 Professional which is an extremely robust radio with all round protection. The radio is still fully functional after falling three metres thanks to the spring mounted aluminium frame. The radio also features dust and splash protection.

The Bosch radio has unbeatable all-round sound for radio and MP3 playback due to the powerful 20 watts, integrated subwoofer and 4 speakers. The digital media bay features 2 aux ports, a USB port and a SD / MMC port. The radio can also be used to charge your Bosch 14.4 V-LI and 18 V-LI batteries.
