I remember when the job site radio was the old "wood grain" Panasonic alarm clock radio the blinked 12:00 and had a coat hanger for an antenna!
Back in the day we used a car radio, some old speakers and a car battery in a homemade wooden box.
Panasonic clock radio with the roll-olver clock!!!!!
I saw someone using an old clock radio a few weeks ago
I watched this last week and drank every time you said "88.5". I was in the hospital with alcohol poisoning for 2 days but I am better now. Cheers
Damn I’ll drink to that. Cheers brother
I bought the DeWalt ToughSystem stereo after watching this. It won't see anywhere near this level of abuse in my garage, but it sounds great. Love it.
Have you considered changing the name of the channel to "2 Tools in Action" ? Just kidding. .love you guys and the all the reviews. Long live Dan and Eric.
lol We are the tools
To be fair I own the Milwaukee radio that you tested first. And I launched it across my garage while having a childish temper tantrum. the garage is 30 feet I threw it from the door to the back wall, bounced it off the back wall and onto the concrete. It works perfectly a year or so later.
Slightapex I've done that with a couple ryobi radios myself. feels good after hitting them with the end grain of a pt 6x6 a few times too.
It took a year to start working properly again? :)
Measure twice, cut one.............
OMG those radio aren't even brushless at that price outrageous!!!
lol
HAHAHAHA!!
Gen 4 gets Chinese radio all day long.
Haha
Actually they are all brushless
“Says not pro Milwaukee”
Looks inside of garage completely full of Milwaukee
Radios aren't meant to be dropped but they should have good sound quality, the Milwaukee has the best audio and reception plus all the features therefore I don't see why people are complaining
Maybe ONE of the best, but not THE best, I'd say it on parr with Bosch box and Dewalt block.
It should be able to fall 3 feet, too
@@Farmall450 exactly! The the 3 foot fall is actually the most probable scenario for me. If it can fall that far it's not worth it to me. I bought the Ryobi for price and it matches all my other stuff. Sounds good too.
Bosch made it through!!! thank you for the great video! I appreciate ya guys!👌👍
yw
I have the normal ryobi jobsite radio. Its smaller, doesnt get as loud but its only 30 or 40 bucks. And its light. Its easy to move with me and it doesnt break the bank. Its fell a few times and still works great
I guess all the negative comments about Milwaukee means people did not watch the end of the video.
it didn't win either lol
How could it win? they did not test the good one with the others. Even after the good one was beat to shit it still worked. It was only a fluke that the first one was a dud.
It would of been destroyed after the 55 foot drop like the rest
Of course it would have. They are not meant to be dropped and survive from that distance.
Trevor Burgart hello dumbass, as I said no matter what the Milwaukee would of been destroyed like the rest... now move along dummy
my dad has an old 80's boombox that has fallen from at least 10 feet a lot of times onto concrete and it still works you only have to put the buttons back on9
Great job! Remind me to not lend you guys any tools!
new drinking game, every time someone says 88.5 take a swig
Awesome tool fight guys! Well worth the wait. I've got the PB360D without Bluetooth and it is an awesome radio. I wishe I had the Bluetooth but an audio jack takes care of that. I'd love to try out the Dewalt but my Bosch will never die and sounds awesome so alas....no replacement. The problem I have had repeatedly with Milwaukee, 4 duds. All new tools. Dewalt has really proven their mettle again! Bosch? Well Bosch is like Dewalt to me. Slow to introduce the new stuff but when it pops out it is high quality. The Ridgid was amazing. Proof again that they make solid tools. Awesome video and thanks for taking the time to do this one!
A tool fight with the job site cell phones from Dewalt, Cat, and others might be interesting.
Dudes badass video,love the intro and the music is boss. Glad that Milwaukee redeemed themselves by sending you guys another unit to try,their customer service does seem pretty good in that respect.

I have the DEWALT tough music and I love it. The antenna is in the handle so stand it up where the handle is facing the sky and it gets better reception
painters got the worst radios, can't read the damn dials or screen bc its been sprayed over
DesecratedReaper, you'd think they'd know how to put masking tape over the dial when they start spraying.
totallyfrozen desecrated reaper,,,,, YF GH WE'VE ALREADY BEEN TAPing AKK FUCKING DAY!
used to covered them with plastic but without affecting the speaker grills
Great video guys. I have found the Makita to have almost too good reception since I often get two stations on close frequencies fighting each other. Usually taking off the antenna solves this issue.
Do you guys make your own meth or buy mexican?
Wade Guidry 🤣they always look stoned
Wow that was epic. Thanks Dan and Eric for your work on this video. Great fight. #tiacrew
If the Milwaukee one had digital radio as well I'd buy it in a heart beat.
If you look in the DeWalt tough.....it has ONE sub and ONE passive radiator.
10 hours! Holy shit, that's almost like a real part time job! Great video, thanks for the great review.
lol
Why is there 3 DeWALTs?!?!!??
that's what they sent
I'll enjoy my Ridgid just got it for 35 bucks at the swap meet....in great condition to 4 👍👍👍👍 for hanging in this beat down test 🤣
My old Milwuakee radio fell 12 feet off a roof and it still works 5 years later!!
Awesome video. I was really surprised Ryobi did not release an updated version of their P745 "Tough Tunes". Was lucky enough to get one after they were discontinued from a factory sale. A good find for anyone that uses their 18V tools. Just add an el cheapo Bluetooth to line in adapter and your set.
ty
One of the most entertaining videos I have chanced upon in a long time...Thanks and subbed...
That maskita looks nice tbh
I have had the Bosch 360 Radio for a year now, and that thing is a tank, it's fallen from scaffolding 3 stories high and it survived and is still used to this day
great radio
I got the Ryobi (already having their power tools and 3 batteries). The radio was on promo - $129 Canadian ($100 US) with a FREE battery (2Ah) and charger bundle. Great radio for sound quality but the buttons on the top are hard to use (and it does have bass and treble adjustment) but no protection for phone while charging and will only fit 5.5" and smaller.
Hey guys there’s this thing called reading the instruction manual... because if you did that you would know that the Ryobi radio has sound settings for your base and other things...I have this radio and find it to be awesome
Thanks man! Great way to promote yourself, bash other channels. Good job you are a winner!
Tools In Action .... well get your information right and you won’t get bashed pretty simple huh
I’ve been using the Makita in the rain , snow, ice and it still works and sounds good. Ok thanks for the video
Right on
Milwaukee had the best reception
Stopped working after it fell lol
I just got that Milwaukee charger radio... what a beast..
next time one of you two should try the 55 foot bucket drop.
todd pot I vote the guy who always fanboys Milwaukee or dewalt
the dewalt tough system is actually 5 speakers not 6 , it has 4 main speakers and then one subwoofer on the base, there is an auxliary bass radiator on the base that is just a tuned diaphragm that only moves at certain bass frequencies to give a deeper bass, it doesnt have a voice coil or magnet.If you open it up you will see it doesnt have the basket, voice coil or magnet that the subwoofer next to it has.
Man awesome job fellas this was a battle to the finish for sure!! I was hoping the dewalt tough system would've out lasted all of them but it still did a great job though, Thanks guys for letting this together for us!! T.I.A#1!!!! #TIACREW
EXCELLENT Job guys very cool love these tool fights and thanks to all the brands for participating
Awesome review. Already planned to get the DWST08810 for my growing 20v collection, but it was good to see how durable it was and how many people (not just this video) rave about the sound quality. I've started clearing out old stereo equipment because of that, and use it in my office during the day now. I see mine has a foam block on the battery door to keep it from coming loose, but I'm considering trying glue or epoxy to build up a lip for the battery clip anyway for a bit better fit. After the water test I won't worry about putting it out next to the pool for my kids either!
Holy Shit, an hour long. There is a reason you guys are the best at what you do! Thats dedication!
Lol thank you :}
The tough system has the best sound quality period I've heard all the top brand radios in action so if you're already in the DeWalt ecosystem get it!!
best honest and respectful tool fights. love it. you guys are always unbiased on these tool fights. now do the same thing with impacts!!!
Thanks!
Hahahahaha with the Milwaukee at the end
I love my friends Bosch radio, I hope Kobalt 24v comes out with something good soon because the batteries are so much more affordable than anything else.
This video should be titled "jobsite radio test, hold my beer"
96.3 FM is a local radio station here in Kelowna BC Canada called K 96.3, classic rock
why would you use an FM transmitter instead of Bluetooth or 3.5mm audio cable? Kind of hard to test sound quality with an FM transmitter
Jeremy Walter maybe because not all the stereos have bluetooth.
Because some of us enjoy our local morning radio show with the sound of nailguns and saws in the AM.
For those who have the older DeWalt radio they have the battery adapters so you can use a lithium slide packs
I'm disappointed you didn't run them over with the payloader and see if they worked after that.
Have to admit part of me was thinking this is a waste of a lot of good equipment. Would have made some good give aways. But........funny to watch anyway. What the hell.
Wrong Dan, the Ryobi, Makita and DeWalt (that failed) didn't fail until the fall from the cherry picker (which was completely unnecessary) , they all (except the Milwaukee) passed the bucket drop.
Love my Makita. It's small and sounds great(could use more treble for noisier job sites). 5 years, beat to shit, won't quit. Too bad we can't have them on jobs anymore.
55' drop was a ridiculous test! Hell the drop test from the loader from about 12' was ridiculous. Job sites have these radios on the ground or sitting on the floor. Now if you had thrown them off the back of a truck as the truck was going 55 miles per hour that would be a worthy test. I can see that happening.
Or better yet set a bundle of 2x4'x8's on the radio. Another endurance test is drop from 25' or a 2 story house a pack of roofing shingles on the radios.
I think a tool fight between some lower priced, home owner tools would be great! A lot of the tool brands here were contractor grade tool brands. I'd love to see a tool battle of impact driver, drill driver, circular saw, recip saw, and radio from brands Porter Cable, Kobalt, Hitachi, Chicago Electric (Harbor Freight brand), Craftsmen, Black & Decker, Ryobi, Rigid, and Skil. :)
I’m glad I watched all the way to the end, my Milwaukee won,, ha ha Ha ha ha.👊🏼
It would of been nice if you guys plugged in the wires that came loose on the Milwaukee radio at the end, just to see if it still would have worked. It appears it would have, seeing the logic board was on one side of the radio (still intact) while the power supply was on the other side of the radio (still intact). It's also pretty amazing how much that radio cost, when it appears that the inside of the radio has more space than parts.
With all the shit you have to carry to a jobsite, who wants to carry these monsters too? A little bluetooth unit is all you need. Fun video, though. Carnage.
I do love how Dan figured out how to sneak some Ventrac use into a radio fight lol😛
the newer smaller milwaukee radio that replaced the " roll cage " inspired older model seems to be twice as tough as the big milwaukee one. The big milwaukee one seems to be more for light use and the smaller one more for heavy stuff ( rain, drops... )
I am already quite deep in the ryobi+1 line but am totally digging those DEWALTS
At least these guys, even though they're sponsored, do it fairly.
We try :}
I know the dewalt in the bottom right box is tough. My brother ran mine over with his truck and it still works lol. Broke the outside cage but it's cobbled together and still works perfect
FUN test guys! That 55-ft drop was hilarious.
John Kruk's mini-me didn't have too much of a hardon for the Toughsystem did he? No sir, not one bit. LOL
I've got the dewalt T stack dab, brilliant build quality and unbelievably good sound. Can control it from the app on my phone too.
Clark griswald and muffin top in action.
I have the tough system and never have problem with the latch. Just FYI to those watching. Great vid guys.
Do more tool fights!!!!!
Yes
Last 5 minutes of the video definitely the best! Hilarious guys!
These guys didnt bother reading directions ryobi has bass controll and treble also just got mine for 44$ so value like no othere
You guys are savage to radios!
LMFAO at those drop tests! You test 'em like I use 'em! One test you didn't do but should have is the "distant station test". Lots of times we're working in basements and a lot of radios can't pick up shit in a basement or in a metal roof building.
Great video just the same. Very entertaining and somewhat informative.
ty
Tools In Action One question maybe you can answer: can that flat pack dewalt radio fit a 6.0Ah flexvolt battery? Getting ready to do a whole dewalt retrofit. Big bucks... This would be good to know. Thanks.
Glad we didn't make any bets before it started! I don't think anybody would have a guess Milwaukee to be out first
Thanks for all the effort you guys put in to this test!
Why are you using FM transmitters for the test?? Those cut the bitrate tremendously and kill sound quality....
we are dumb
You guys are the best. I mean the height falls were crazy buy gotta make sure lol. Best part i love about the video is that you guys checked the sound to the highest to all the radios
Ha thanks
I think we need another one of these with the new radios .
Great test
thanks
good job boys and the bosch is my fav
ty
Typical Milwaukee. I run them at work and at home and have had my share of bad tools out of the box. When you get a good one they are damn good. I have that radio and its stood up to a lot of abuse flawlessly
Hard to watch you guys dump those radios off the bench.
was the best part. should have just started each test with that would have never even heard the Milwaukee
What a waste do a giveaway..... and milwaukie garbage
How many times did you forget 88.5?
enjoyed the video, good job guys, when I saw the radio's drop from that distance on the cherry picker I sought of held my breath and was like holy ****. I thought it was a ridiculous drop, didn't think any would survive, had hope for the flat dewalt because of the way it landed. R.I.Pieces, good fight...
Thanks
I bought a Milwaukee 13 months ago never abused it or anything and it just stopped working never had harsh working conditions was in the back of the van and that's as tough as it got and a bit of dust at some jobs and one day went to turn it on and nothing. Deeply deeply disappointed with the warranty. It's handled by a firm called tti in the UK took them a month to send a new one probs go for a Makita next time
Amazing video guys, I don't even believe I'm going to see 1 hour and 2 minutes video, but it was totally fun and I'm living in Chicago and I hope one day see you guys in Home Depot buying stuff for your channel. I'm gonna take a selfie with you guys for sure. I'm a Dewalt guy so the toughest sistem is my favorite. Congratulations guys keep working in the channel tons of likes for this good job.
Haha, I felt sick every time one of those $200 radios flew apart.
Your best Tool Fight yet
ty
You are absolutely right!
Lol I laughed when u pushed em off the table
Why would you use an FM modulator for an audio quality test?
eag 8999 because of using music from bands or artists legally, so they modulated their own intro song. It got the point across.
They could have used an aux cord.
eag 8999 then how would he violently flip it off the toolbox while it still played music?
you would have to connect to each Bluetooth disconnect plus pin setup FM modulator set an done works on all not all have Bluetooth as well so they can test sound quality not all have aux
They could test the music after it's dropped.
Which of these setups will charge a cellphone/tablet via the built in USB port, while the radio is running off of battery power, and not only when it's plugged into a 120v outlet?
I'm a dewalt guy so obviously I have the 20v dewalt radio. One thing I hate about it is you can't listen to music while charging a battery. Something with the frequency causes static to come through the speakers. Wish I had known this before I made the purchase
would have made more sense to do the water test before the fall test. statistically speaking, there is a far greater chance during general use that a stereo will get wet long before it falls several stories. willing to bet the consumer cares many many times more about water ingression than borderline unrealistic falls
Thanks again guys, I love the way you test. What a great Chanel!!
Thanks
These tests are brutal
I had the Bosch cube, it had horrible reception, we were always trying to hook wire to it, never helped, one day I decided to take it apart and install a better antenna, the factory antenna is not even connected to anything on the inside. It is several inches away from anything that could possibly even pick up anything off the antenna. The antenna on the Bosch is a dummy antenna. Its just for looks.
that Milwaukee is so tough! i wish dang Rigids radio charged batteries and was Bluetooth. I'd buy it then.
Great job with the fight still surprised Milwaukee did not send over the 2890 also
i had a old Milwaukee and it stayed out side for years and finally died just bought rigid it was outside for a week and the display went out
