DEWALT announces the ToughSystem 2.0 Radio & Charger (DWST08820), delivering powerful 360° sound and durability. Available November 2019, it’s the first product in an upcoming relaunch of the original ToughSystem product line announced in 2011.
Features of the ToughSystem 2.0 Radio & Charger include Dynamic Range Control that gives users the optimal sound for indoor or outdoor use, via selectable settings. It incorporates four integrated, high-performance full-range speakers, an active subwoofer, and passive bass resonator, all driven by a 55W RMS amplifier to provide audio clarity.
Compatible with all existing ToughSystem and future ToughSystem 2.0 modular storage solutions, the radio interface is intuitive and with robust stacking and locking side latches it’s easy to assemble and disassemble.
Integrated Bluetooth connectivity enables the radio and music from mobile devices to be controlled remotely via the DEWALT Sound Systems Android/ iOS operating system mobile apps. A 2.1A USB port is included on the radio for mobile device charging while a large compartment on top provides storage and protection for a battery, phone and the included AC power cable.
The radio is also fully compatible with DEWALT 12V MAX*, 20V MAX* and FLEXVOLT battery platforms (batteries are sold separately). Not only can the radio run off DEWALT batteries for cordless operation, it can also charge DEWALT batteries when it’s plugged in via the optional AC power cable.
With a wide top handle, the radio is engineered for the jobsite. It’s IP54 rated for dust and water resistance and its construction is reinforced to withstand daily use in tough conditions.
The radio also features a large, full color LCD motion-flipping display, rubberized keypad, and touch-sensitive buttons. Available where DEWALT products are sold in November 2019, the ToughSystem 2.0 Radio & Charger will retail for $249 MSRP bare tool (battery and charger are sold separately) and is the perfect solution for jobsites, workshops, and vans.
