I bought this Makita radio about 2 months ago as I needed a heavy duty radio for work it has defiantly lived up to my expectations as its certainly heavy duty strong and robust whilst being pretty compact and portable with its soft grip handle and rubber surrounds to keep it from getting knocked around you can tell its another well built bit of kit from Makita its got a great sound really punchy with plenty of base considering it has only 2 small speakers it will really rock your work place! it also has a connection to plug your mp3 player etc into the unit and pump out your music that way instead of listening to the fm/am radio but even better is the back of the unit folds down so it can be run off of a Makita battery from 9.6v to 24v instead of the mains lead supplied. this is great if your working some ware without a power supply or you don't want to be tripping over leads the compartment on the back of the unit where the battery is stored is also great to store your mp3 player etc (if small enough) to keep any dust off of it and stops it getting damaged. a great bit of kit only disadvantages it doesn't charge the batterys and it doesn't have a cd player
