Makita RM02 12V max CXT® Lithium-Ion Cordless Compact Job Site Radio, Tool Only

Purchased to use when we are camping, and want something for close-in listening (so we don't disturb nearby campers). This radio is easy to operate, and so far at least seems quite sturdy. Reception seems fine on FM, haven't tried AM. Sound isn't great by any means, but it is a small radio, and since I consider size and price when evaluating the sound, I am happy. It is a small radio, so don't expect big radio sound. It's not going to fill a large space.......

Best tool radio.Best reception.Best toughness.Needs Bluetooth.Wire for connecting accessories gets lost .Adding flashlight would be nice too.I have many other tool radios.If this had Bluetooth and a light it would be best radio ever.

I always follow the 4 star comments as it would likely give some pros and cons rather than a 5 were you question it.SO overall it works great , for radio it's worked for me well, yeah I have to move the antenna to find a good frequency,but it's a radio, so it's expected. Now for the aux for me it is awesome, I work in commercial work installing cabinets and your surrounded with a ton of fields making noise, so it's able to blast enough to enjoy and play it at a low volume and be able to hear it(Aux only) it's okay with the radio when you have strong connection. My co worker said it's cute, so in conclusion it's a small little speaker with good sound, again not like hd bose, but good sound overall, built well and it's easy to hang in back pocket or sides , belt or whatever very useful with the hanger !

The Makita RM02 is a fantastic job site radio! Compact yet powerful, it delivers clear, crisp sound with good bass. The 12V CXT battery compatibility is super convenient, and it’s durable enough for tough work environments. Lightweight and easy to carry—perfect for job sites or outdoor use. Highly recommended for professionals and DIYers alike!

The 12 volt 2amp hour battery last a really long time. I’m at about 12 hours of run time right now and the battery charge indicator is only down one bar. This radio is very simple, well made, and works great. Great job site radio! The sound is clear, and loud, though it doesn’t have much bass.

I work in a loud environment and had to turn it up pretty loud. Lasted for not quite 3 months and both speakers blew. Looked at makita’s website to get replacement speakers and they want $28 a piece for them plus shipping. That cost more than the whole radio did. So now i have a radio that you can’t listen to and 2 battery packs and a charger that i don’t have any use for

It is light and the battery, when fully charged, will lastu to ten hours. The antenna is short and in certain areas, it does not get channels in clearly. I have another radio that gets better reception for 1/6th the price

Big sound for a small radio and you don’t need much space, there’s no electricity needed the battery provides hours of continuous radio play.
