It was a good weekend last weekend! I received two tools, one in another thread.
This one is not so much a tool, but it is a much beloved addition to the shop! It is a Bosch Powerbox Radio w/ CD. This is a boombox on steroids. My dad has a Dewalt and it doesn't compare.
The Bosch has many more features. It has 4 GFCI outlets on the side. I see this being very handy on the job site. Having GFCI outlets is a very good safety feature!
It is all digital, I really like the clock! I don't have another clock in the shop and having this one makes it nice and easy to know what time it is. It also has 20 FM presets so that I don't have to jockey the dial each time I want to switch stations.
Finally, it plays MP3 Cd's which is a great asset! I have a ton of MP3's, so being able to play MP3 CD's means that I can play one CD just about the whole day in the shop!
The battery seems to last a long time. I left the radio on, on purpose the morning after I got it and 18 hours later the radio was still playing.
I really like this powerbox, I think it will be liked for years to come. My other hobby is camping, so it should be nice there too!
