I got old Dewalt radio but it isnt DAB. was lookin at Makita as its sound is much better.
Is there any radio that beats Makita sound?
cheers

 

[Just Rizzle]

have a Makita dab as all tools Makita plays all day on 4hr battery

what channels you have on auto tune?
mine are
1 absolute
2 kerrang
3absolute classic rock
4 5 live
5 planet rock

sounds best at full volume when metallica enter sandman on

exit, light
enter, night
take my hand
were off to never never land

I don't like rock, but Metallica are awesome. I was lucky enough to see them live in San Francisco at a computer conference with only about 1000 crowd. Jesus, it was so loud, floor to ceiling speakers everywhere.

Back on topic - MAKITA for me too, not got the DAB yet, been trying to break my old fm one for the last 6 years to no avail!!

Get it PAT tested mate that could be lethal.

I'll order you one off Ebay if there's a chance it'll save your life. On the condition we see that fall from a good height.

I've had the little dewalt DAB radio for 6 months now and I'm very pleased with it. Runs off the batteries for all my cordless gear as well as being 240. Great sound quality and I get to listen to kisstory all day

Makita dab , great radio, obviously it's quite crap if you don't use makita cordless , luckily,I do

 

[Diggy]

Here's mine , fits in the bucket and 2 AAs last forever , best portable i've found.

 

[Mr Tiler]

Unfortunately my van was broken into not too long ago and they got all the good stuff, including the radio i had off siramic and the ts 40 from steph lol just use my fones radio for time being

 

[radim]

all my gear is Hilti but they dont make radio....
makita sound is great so probably a winner... need DAb so I can listen to Absolute radio and Planet rock...

That's my kind of radio

Bosch site radio for me, affectionately known as R2D2 in the boardley household, it's not DAB but I use it mainly for plugging my i-pod into when I'm at work, it's also handy as a hop up too

 

[Dougs Third Go]

I think mine used to be that colour ^^^^ haha

 

[Qwerty]

Yup, Makita radio for me! It's one of the first things I unload from the van!
I can be working nearly anywhere in or around a customers house and still hear the tunes. The bass carries that far!!!

 

[Dannym80]

The smaller Dewalt DAB radio is my weapon of choice, great sound & enough volume for the larger multiple-trades-all-on-one-job with loads of noise!

 

[2 sugars]

Bosch GML 50 all day for me - the sub sounds ace
Loud as you like (goes up to 20). Who needs DAB with YouTube streamed through the phone input?
It weighs a ton but it's hard as nails.

And it comes in a roll cage.
