Come on Bosch! You're falling behind, Milwaukee is getting real tempting!

I wonder if Bosch is waiting for the other patent to run out so their radio can charge the batteries as well. I just wish I knew when that was.

I like the new Milwaukee look, but how does it sound, and how durable is it??
FYI - I have the Bosch radio, and it does charge the batteries (not sure how the guy at CopTool missed that one?). Somehow, only Bosch and DeWalt offer chargers in their radios - nice touch!

I do like the look of this radio. It looks like it will certainly do the job, and has a lot of useful features. Needs some careful investigation on my part. Thanks for the post.
