The T-STAK compatible Job Site Radio and Charger by DeWalt offers FM, AM and DAB+, with a 45 Watt Output. For me, it should connect right away without me having to go into my Bluetooth and connecting each time. On one hand, it gets very loud—uncomfortably loud to listen to at its highest volume in our 800 square foot office.

It has complete protection against dust and can withstand a meter deep of water immersion for 30 minutes. The speaker combination on the DeWalt DWST17510 delivers a pretty full sound that’s agreeably rich for a jobsite radio. All of DeWalt’s most recent batteries can power the TSTAK radio—12V max, 20V max, and even FlexVolt.

It is also designed to be weather and dust-resistant so it can pretty much take a beating and still keep ticking with 360 degrees of sound. Woofer and tweeter design results in good quality sound reproduction packed in a small compact device.

As a qualified carpenter, I share some tips here at Bangingtoolbox to help provide better DIY information on the internet.Bottom Line: These two-way radios might be small, but they are packed with many outstanding features. After four years working as a radio mechanic, I know that everything about radio communication is not breezy, even though it greatly benefits us. Dewalt’s range of radios is pretty impressive, so whichever of the units you pick is sure to be top-notch.

Over this time I have tried a couple of different brands of radios and have found there are differences between manufacturers. The radio can be controlled remotely via your Android or Apple device using the DeWalt Mobile App, allowing for complete control of the device on site, with BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) ensuring you stay connected without sacrificing your battery. Each job site has a different setup; thus, it is crucial to take this into consideration when looking for a radio.There is a Dewalt worksite charger radio which is fitting for those who prefer charging batteries or other devices. Besides having a great sound to this system, the front panel makes it easy to control volume and other functions you would find on a sound system. What I’m not so crazy about is that I can only access the channels it picks up on scan, so I can’t hit the channels that it doesn’t. Heads-up: This radio comes with many useful features, but there is a minor issue that I want to point out. A lot of compact speakers nowadays are actually Bluetooth-only devices, although some have both Bluetooth and radio functionality.
