I have the first generation Dewalt radio. The reason I got it is because I have a LOT of Dewalt cordless tools. That radio has a built in charger. And on some jobs I use it as well as a stand alone battery charger. If you already have a lot of tools in one brand this may steer you down that path. If you are starting from scratch, I like a lot of the 'bonus Features' on the Bosch one. USB ports, sub woofer, extra power outlets, memory card slots...etc http://www.cpotools.com/factory-reconditioned-bosch-pb360s-rt-power-box-jobsite-am-fm-stereo-with-mp3-compatibility/bshrpb360s-rt,default,pd.html?ref=pla&zmam=31282435&zmas=47&zmac=66&zmap=PB360S-RT&gclid=CK-M_sL4rrcCFZBcMgodbmsAKA The bosch runs about twice the price of my dewalt...but with the above site you can oftn find some re-con deals
