Bosch PB10-CD Radio/CD Boombox

Bosch claims its weatherproof Power Box radio is durable enough for a construction site, so we threw it across Bosch's Booth at a recent tradeshow. Not only did it survive, the CD didn't even skip. This isn't the first job-site radio but its the first to really impress us. Why? A steel-and-rubber frame protects the ruggedized shell, which houses four ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected outlets for power tools. The outlets cut power if water leaks in, so you won't get fried. There's also a slot in the back to charge the batteries for your cordless power tools; when you find yourself away from an outlet the radio can run off those same batteries. The radio also includes a mini-plug input for your MP3 player and a 12V DC outlet to recharge your cell phone. Quick word to the wise: if you plan to replicate our drop and roll test, we suggest unplugging all those accessories first!
