Dremel’s new 8200 cordless rotary tool is powered by a brand new 12V-max Li-ion battery, making it the fastest and most powerful cordless tool of its kind.

Bosch Power Box 360 Jobsite Radio Hands-on Review

Jun 3, 2010 Stuart 11 Comments

A few weeks ago, we talked about Bosch’s new Power Box 360 music/power center, and how it claims to “re-define” jobsite sound.
