DeWalt jobsite radios: compact XR and TSTAK models

DeWalt XR radios, compact or in TSTAK format

Size decides where the radio stands and how it travels. A compact unit fits beside the tools in the case and goes up the ladder without effort, while a version in TSTAK format locks onto the cases already in the van and stays in place on the road. Then check which battery platform a unit connects to. If it fits the XR batteries you already use, there is nothing extra to buy, and if it also takes a FLEXVOLT battery, the pack that powers the saw plays the radio too.

Compare the voltage of your own batteries with what a unit accepts, from 12V and 14.4V up to 18V, because a radio that does not take your packs is no use on site. Decide which bands you need as well: DAB+ and FM cover most work, while AM helps where digital coverage drops out. Bluetooth pairs a phone without a cable. Finally look at the controls, because buttons you can find with work gloves on save time every day.

For sound without a radio receiver look at the DeWalt loudspeaker range. The full sound range is under DeWalt audio.
