DR99 Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 That seems to be the trend right now is for smaller more compact radios instead of the big boom box style. I like my little m12 radio just wish it was more iphone friendly though with bluetooth or a real iphone doc, so you could control it from the radio it sucks having to open the case to change songs.

firefighter4187 Posted July 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 Yeah i have heard that smartphones dont fit well with the M12 radio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric - TIA Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 My phone doesn't fit in the m12. Not a big deal because I have my iphone in a case. The Bosch looks pretty nice, but its hard to be the power box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conductor562 Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 The power box is the best job site radio on the market IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR99 Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 Bosch really does it right with the power box they really don't put any compromises into the design of it. The dewalt 20v was kind of a letdown they didn't really change it up too much compared to the wait people had to put up with. Dewalt really should have had a stronger launch lineup or had a nice release a year later to have the basics they didn't have an impact wrench till way later on.

wayneburgess Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 The Bosch impact wrench/driver all in one tool is genius and built like a brick outhouse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conductor562 Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 Nobody is gonna be satisfied until Milwaukee releases a new radio are they? I would say I'd email them the suggestion, but the multiple emails I sent begging for an M12 pop rivet gun apparently fell on deaf ears, so I imagine this would be no different.

Harold Wray Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 Maybe Milwaukee is just waiting to do something innovative with their nextgen radio. It could be a m12 radio that doubles as a pop rivet gun. They will call it the Pop Radio Gun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR99 Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 The Milwaukee Pop Radio Gun will have 5.1 surround sound, bluetooth, wireless internet, gps navigation, and the ability to rivet things poorly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conductor562 Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 Lol Conductor when I look way back in the forums you were talking about the pop rivet gun then haha!Yep. Several media events I've anticipated the possibility of an M12 Pop rivet gun. Nothing but broken hearts and shattered dreams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayneburgess Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 So folks if you or any of your family have been effected by pop rivet issues,or have tendonitis from constant use of a manual rivet gun. Contact Milwaukee now and help erase this blight from the life of fellow forum member and pioneering chef ( he was the first man to pop rivet salad to a bun). Join us Brothers and Sisters,support Conductor 562 and with a strong will (and a sympathetic tool manufacturer) we can make them produce a battery powered pop rivet gun and make riveters wrist a thing of the past. LOL This has been brought to you by the British society for the protection of blokes who buy too many tools. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conductor562 Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 We need an online petition! I'll give a speech on the steps of the Capitol, recruit celebrity supporters, and.....well, maybe that's a little extreme. I am fired up though. So much so that I feel like warding off riveting in protest until one becomes available. I could get a pneumatic one, but an M12 would be way cooler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Wray Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 Lol. I will sign the petition! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
