Radios and Speakers

34 products

Site radios are rugged units designed to withstand knocks and dust and to work even where there is no socket: many run on the batteries of the same platforms as cordless tools and have a built-in charger. Here you will find radios and speakers by DeWalt, Makita, Milwaukee and Stanley.

Types available

  • AM/FM and DAB+ site radios, with protective frame and aerial.
  • Radios with charger, which run on battery or mains power and recharge the batteries.
  • Bluetooth radios, for listening to music from your phone as well.
  • Portable speakers and loudspeakers, battery or mains powered, also in compact format.

How to choose

First of all choose the power supply: if you already have batteries of a certain brand, a radio from the same platform is the best option. Then consider reception, DAB+ or FM only, whether Bluetooth is included and robustness. Some models are sold without a battery.

Frequently asked questions: Radios and Speakers
What is a site radio used for?

A site radio is a robust appliance with a protective frame that lets you listen to AM, FM or DAB+ while you work, even where there is no socket. Many models run on cordless tool batteries and have a built-in charger, so the same battery can power both the radio and the drill driver.

Do site radios have a protection rating to check?

The thing to check is the protection rating against dust and water that the manufacturer gives with the IP code, together with the impact resistance stated on the datasheet. If you work in dust or in the rain, choose a model with suitable protection and do not rely only on the rugged look of the appliance.

Which factors matter when choosing a radio or a speaker?

What matters is the power supply, that is battery, mains or both, the presence of a charger and the bands received: AM/FM, DAB+ or Bluetooth. On site, sound output also matters, so that you can hear the radio over the noise of the work. Examples in the collection are the Milwaukee M12 DAB+ battery/mains radio with M12 charger and the Fatmax AM/FM radio with charger function.

Which radios run on both battery and mains?

The collection includes radios designed to run on both battery and mains, such as the Milwaukee M18 DAB+ battery/mains radio, the Milwaukee M12 DAB+ battery/mains radio with M12 charger and the Makita XGT/LXT/CXT AC site radio, which works with an AC adaptor and without batteries. Choose the power supply according to where you work: in a room with a socket, mains power is the better choice.

Are wireless earbuds and headphones suitable for the site?

In the collection you will find true wireless earbuds, wireless headphones and phone headsets with a USB-C cable, designed for listening to music or answering calls. They are not hearing protection: in a noisy environment, ear defenders rated for noise risk remain the correct choice, and headphones must not be used to mask the noise of the work.

How do I connect a portable speaker to a phone?

Bluetooth speakers, such as the Makita XGT AC/DC Bluetooth speaker, pair from the phone: turn on Bluetooth, choose the speaker from the list and adjust the volume from the device. The speaker with a magnetic mount fixes to a metal surface and frees your hands. For battery models, check the charge before starting your shift.

Which Makita or Stanley radios and speakers are available?

If you already use Makita tools, you will find radios in the same battery family, such as the Makita XGT MR010GZ radio with built-in lantern and the Makita LXT CXT DMR301 site radio. For Stanley, the collection offers the Fatmax AM/FM radio with charger function, sold without a battery, to be used with the batteries you already have. Always check battery compatibility.
