The original Dewalt ToughSystem Music player and charger, DWST08810, has made a comeback and is back in stock.
It was effectively replaced by the ToughSystem Music 2.0, which quickly received a high frequency of negative reviews.
A short while later, Dewalt “suspended production of the radio” in early 2020, and said they were “taking steps to understand what caused the quality issue.”
The ToughSystem Music 2.0, DWST08820, doesn’t seem to have ever relaunched since then.
It’s not clear to me when the ToughSystem Music was restocked, but its reemergence seems interesting and noteworthy.
If you want a Dewalt ToughSystem-compatible jobsite radio, music streamer, and charger, this is your only option.
I tested this model around when it first launched, and it delivered solid sound and a fantastic user interface. I liked the Tstak version a bit better due to its smaller size, but the ToughSystem Music didn’t give me much to complain about.
The radio is compatible with Dewalt 12V and 20V Max batteries. It has an AM/FM radio, 3.5mm AUX input, and Bluetooth connectivity.
Price: $267-$299
