I think my Ridgid radio sucks too, but then again - it came in the kit. I
would never intentionally buy a tool for a damned radio. I think it was the
most stupid of additions to this kits. If I want tunes, I'll go out and buy
tunes - when I buy tools, I want tools. They could have left this right out
of the box in my opinion.


I agree. I bought the Ridgid kit because it was on sale, it just happened to come with the radio.

The DeWalt radio was bought way after I bought the drill. It was offered as a "reburbished tool only" deal. Since it ran on the 18v batteries and charged them as well, it was a good deal. I use it all the time - picnics, yard work, building projects, etc. I can't imagine how many hours I have on it, probably even more than the drill. :-)

So, just like you "If I want tunes, I'll go out and buy tunes - when I buy tools, I want tools." The Ridgid radio is going to get recycled the next time I dropped off some other electronic trash.
