Heavy Duty Job Site Radio

You know how construction workers have music going while they work?

They don't use a Bose Wave radio out in the dirt and dust and gravel — trust me on this.

What they use is a radio like the one pictured above, made by the same company — Milwaukee — that makes their professional–grade tools.

Tons of features, most important being it can withstand an 8 foot drop onto concrete.

Can your Bose Wave do that?

Didn't think so.

The Milwaukee costs $94.95 here.

Works with a rechargeable battery ($37.26 here) or you can plug it in.

Oh, yeah, you'll also need a charger: that'll be $49.95 here.

Add it all up and it's about half the cost of the Bose.

Except now you're ready to rock 'n roll anywhere.

Put the "boom" back in boom box.

Did someone say "par–táy?"
