Makita Radio
Makita has made a 'job site' radio for in the field workers to listen to while at work. Being that I am a fan of Makita products I will be touching down on the key features of their new footprint radio. I use a lot of these products in my day to day life and want to provide some insight on these products before you as the consumer purchase these products. I will try to keep this as short as possible for the sake of brevity.
The Makita radio is a FM-AM radio and has two channels with a 5-watt output equipped with speakers full of clarity and punch. It has a molded casing with neoprene end-panel protectors and chrome control panel bars for further protection. It also has a digital push button channel selection system and a rotary knob for control of the volume and tuner.
As of this writing there are two different Makita radios in production. They are similar in price but different in color with one being the traditional Makita blue and the other being white. The white has an auxiliary jack for hooking up your iPod or mp3 player but the blue does not. Both are cordless and designed to to run on a standard slide battery, pod battery, or 18V Lxt Lithium battery.
It also has a separate adapter for AC operation and did I forget to mention that these bad boys are weather proof!? What more could you ask for? Go get your new Makita Radio.

Differences Between PB360D and PB360S Job-Site Radios
I recently bought a Bosch PB360D Power box and this model is similar to the PB360S which is the standard version. I was asked many times what are the differences between the two models. Thus in answering the question, this article will discuss the differences. Well for a start the notation "D" represents the deluxe version of this well known job-site radio from Bosch.
However, I wish to highlight that there are many similarities between the two versions. Both are built to be heavy-duty job-site radios that can withstand the rough working site conditions and still provide a powerful 360 degree clear sound.
However there are differences between the two models which are not obvious and these differences are discussed below.
The most obvious difference is the control panel. In the PB360D, it has a backlit control panel while PB360S has a normal control panel without any backlit. The backlit has a light bluish tone enabling the display details to be seen in low light condition.
The second difference is the deluxe version has a built-in extra SIRIUS Satellite Dock. Thus one can plug in or dock one's satellite radio and enjoy satellite radio broadcasting in addition to the built-in FM and AM radio.
The third difference is the types of power outlets. The PB360D and PB360S besides being job-site radios are also power boxes. That is one can plug in one's power tools to the power outlet and runs from there. The power outlet found in PB360D is GFCi types while those in PB360S are the normal ones. The term GFCi stands for ground fault circuit interrupter which is a safety device. However there are no problems powering Bosch power tools with the power outlets of both models.
The final difference between the two models is the availability of a remote control. The deluxe version comes with a remote while the standard version has none. Well having or not having a remote is not a big deal. In my opinion, the remote may be easily lost in work sites as it is easily taken away.
Well the above are the main differences between the two models. Due to these differences, there is a difference in price too. The model PB360S costs about 0 while the deluxe model PB360D costs 0 dollars more. Both models are available and can be ordered online through online stores like Amazon.com.

Best Electric Mowers
In this age of environmental awareness, many homeowners are rethinking the tools they use around the house. One of the most common is that all American tool, the lawn mower. Gas powered mowers are ubiquitous in this country. Just take a walk in any suburban neighborhood on a Saturday morning in the summer and you'll see and hear what I mean. However, gas powered mowers are noisy, polluting, and getting more expensive to run and maintain. It's estimated that five percent of the air pollution in our country is produced by gas powered mowers. Running a gas mower for one hour is the equivalent of driving your car for twenty miles. These reasons, along with the rising price of gas, has turned many homeowners to buying electric mowers.
Electric mowers offer many advantages over gas-powered machines. They are quieter, don't pollute, and easier to maintain. Most electric mowers emit 60 to 75 decibels of noise while gas powered mowers emit around 95 decibels. It's thought that any noise louder than 85 decibels can injure your hearing. While a gas-powered mower will cost to dollars a year in gas costs, an electric mower can run on to worth of electricity a year. Electric mowers also don't have plugs, filters, and oil that need to be changed periodically.
However, they are not for every yard. They work best on small to medium sized lawns. Lawns more than one-third of an acre aren't practical to mow with an electric mower. Also, they mow certain grass types, such as Kentucky blue grass and fine fescue, more easily than others. They aren't as powerful as gas-powered mowers so you have to be more careful mowing tall grass that can clog the mower. Also, it's not as easy to bag grass clippings with them.
There are two types of electric mowers: corded and cordless. Corded mowers need an extension cord to plug into an outlet to run the machine. They're more powerful and lighter weight than the cordless mowers, but you run the risk of tangling or cutting the cord. Plus, you can only mow as far as your cord will reach (usually 100 feet). They often have handlebars that fold up for easy storage in winter.
