The Whale Box Cometh

This item has changed the way I work around the house. It may sound extreme, but I'm an aspiring handyman and apprentice weightlifter with a home gym and a serious love of music, and it's true. This radio is fully in line with Bosch quality and style, which means it is very reliable and very comfortable to use. So, build quality: excellent as far as I can tell. I've been testing this thing for a few months now and haven't had the slightest glitch. This thing is heavy. I am serious. This is one piece. We call it a walking track. That's a beast. You will be pleased with the carrying handle on the top. The box itself never touches the ground. The rails around it keep the box floating, no matter which side you place it on. The subwoofer is on the underside so when placed vertically it faces the surface you place it on for good sound and amazing presence for its size. I play bass guitar and am impressed with the bass power this thing can produce, especially for its size. Just set the equalizer to "Rock" and wait for your neighbors to complain or praise you. I think it depends on the neighbors. I suggest preparing a drink for her anyway. Then we come to the functions. You can sync your phone to it via Bluetooth (perfect sync btw), use it as an AM/FM radio (foldable antenna included), plug in a USB flash drive full of music, or use the included adapter. Aux cable to connect almost any music player you want. There's even a lockable compartment on the side to store and protect your music player or flash drive. If you use a flash drive, it must be very short, because the shaft door will close, leaving no room for a longer one. I think you could use a longer drive and just leave the door open, but flash drives are so cheap these days that I have no reason not to just buy them for this box. This box is the control center for your Bosch tools. It has a backlit clock with AA battery backup. On the back there is a charging slot for Bosch 18V batteries. Plug the box into the socket and charge the battery while you use others and enjoy your music. Like the accessory compartment, it has a door and closes over smaller batteries. On the other side are two spring-loaded flaps, each closing a pair of three-pin outputs. They are all 120 VAC and the box says the outlets put out a maximum of 10 amps. And if you download the Bosch app, you can even use this little guy as a PA. Imagine the possibilities. Serious. Get yourself a Bosch drill and screwdriver, a circular saw (worm geared if you can afford it) and a saber saw and there aren't many things you can't get down to in no time at all. to say that Bosch is the ultimate toolmaker. It definitely has its problems and its competitors. Milwaukee, Makita, and DeWalt make great products. Hilti is almost objectively better, but you'll definitely pay for it. Festulus is so-so. But for me, Bosch has the best overall combination available. At least for now. Performance, excellent ergonomics, flexibility and value. I can't ask for more.
