Milwaukeenut Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 Just seen this today. Looks more durable then the current one I have. What do you guys think?http://youtu.be/Z6rMaP4ETtQSent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarynH Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 Think this will be my next radio. Nice and simple, no bells or whistles, straight radio. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shuutr Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 From what little is included in the way of specs, it doesn't look like it is bluetooth (essential today) and it doesn't appear to charge batteries when plugged in. In fact it doesn't mention whether you can plug it in at all (I assume there is an AC adapter). I'll keep using my ridgid for now and long for the new bosch powerboxx pb360c. comparing to other milwaukee, it does look to hold a bigger phone than what I have seen before, so thats a plus.

Bigmikez Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 Looks pretty cool I wonder what the price is gonna look like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarynH Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 Looks pretty cool I wonder what the price is gonna look like?The article I read said $119 same price as the old radio because essentially it's taking its place. That's why no Bluetooth or charging. It's the low end radio and they want those features on the high end one only. But honestly I like this design way better and I could buy a $10 bluetooth adapter if I need it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigmikez Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 Not bad at all! I really like how milwaukee updates there tools all the time I wish other company's did that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renner_construction Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 Bluetooth is a great idea... But it absolutey sucks for jobsites unless your in one room all day. It's always cutting out etc etc, walk too far way and it shuts off, everyone gets annoyed. Fuck that. Plug your phone in via auxiliary and forget about it. It sounds better anyways.

Santi_78342 Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 I could do without Bluetooth but I wish this could charge batteries and be at a $119.99-149.99 price point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Santi_78342 Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 It wss already confirmed at $119I know. I was just saying that I wish they would have given the radio charging capabilities and had the price between $119-$149. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd pay $150 for it with just a charger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kruton Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 I feel like an antique. Am I the only one that still uses the old school iPod for tunes with an aux cord? Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR99 Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 They still have the big M18 Bluetooth radio charger. The only problem is its 200 dollars which is a lot for a radio. I think I saw the Bosch power box down to $139 a few times. CPO has a Refurbished M18 BT for $169 which isn't too bad. I still think this new radio should have at least had bluetoothhttp://www.homedepot.com/p/Milwaukee-M18-Jobsite-Radio-Charger-2792-20/204797934 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm the same way, I like my phone to be a phone. I still have one of the old style 80 gig iPods and I really don't feel like transferring my music to my phone every couple years. I guess I am just lazy.Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happy prospector Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 It looks great, but I wonder how loud it is, I'm worried that the sheetrockers won't be able to hear it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been wanting them to come out with one for a while. I even considered trying to piece together my own but I just don't have that kind of time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
