hows this for a posh site radio ?

[chippy1970]

God knows how much they are if you can get one :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[maltrout512]

You can only tune in to classic music and it limits you to Handel, Bach, Mozart, Beethoven and Brahams. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Don`t tell me, it`s 3 times the price of a standard site radio, BUT makes Chris Moyles sound entertaining :-k :-k :-k Might finally be worth buying a Festool :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[Chippyjoe]

Very posh,but like most things that are Festool probably overpriced :roll:

Out of interest, are any of the site radios DAB?

Makita is supposed to be offering one. Yet to see it, though. You could also try the Toughbox. Which looks suspiciously like that Festool.......

 

[Vormulac]

The Festool differs in that there's a slot on the side where you feed in a fiver every time you want to change the channel. :lol:

If I got one of those, it would undoubtedly be the most expensive piece of equipment in my garage! :lol:

 

[FatFreddysCat]

Save yourself a bundle - buy the cheaper SiteBox, a pot of Humbrol green paint and cadge up a Festool catalogue to get the logo.....

I thought I had seen it before toughbox make them for Festool I suppose.

Think I will still get a Makita one I know they are good radio's everyone on site has them.

I have the Makita, and couldn't rate it highly enough. It isn't the loudest out there, but I reckon it is one of the best sounding. And it is pretty compact - some of them are HUGE.

I got my "white" model from the states, and it has 2 AUX inputs (for MP3 player etc), but I think the normal "blue" ones they sell over here now have that facility as well.

I agree with Karl, I've got the blue Makita one and it's great. And yes it does now come with 2 AUX inputs. It also comes with a mains adapter and takes both Ni-Cad and Li-Ion style batteries.

Yeah I know they are very good would be better if they charged the batteries as well but then I suppose they would be bigger then.

I have not got round to buying one yet as about 5 people who I work with on site all have them so I only really need one for when I am on my own :lol: :lol:
