Job-Site Radio Provides All-in-One Power Center

Just coming onto the market, a new job site radio and CD player from Bosch Power Tools and Accessories has been designed as an all-in-one power center with unique features that are like nothing else available in today’s marketplace.

The Bosch Power Box is being manufactured by a division of the Robert Bosch Tool Corporation, which is a member of the National Council of the Housing Industry — the Supplier 100 of NAHB.

Users of the Power Box can plug any electrical tool or equipment into a four-way GFCI power outlet, according to the manufacturer. Additional power resources provided by the product include an integrated battery charger and a 12-volt power outlet for charging cell phones, two-way radios or other devices.

The Power Box offers enhanced features such as preset equalizer settings to provide the best sound possible, says Bosch, and it includes 30 preset buttons for a built-in AM/FM digital radio, a front-load CD player with special anti-skip technology, an LCD clock display and an auxiliary jack for MP3 players.

To ensure that the Power Box withstands the wear and tear of being on the job, it comes in an aluminum roll cage and has an integrated antenna and sealed buttons, speakers and other components to protect if from the elements.

The manufacturer says the product is easy to handle and transport, and it is available wherever Bosch products are sold.
