    I haven't used that one but got the small Dewalt one, and it's holding up great. The biggest problem I have with every radio I have used on the job site, I always break the antenna off in the first month. I would say as long as the antenna is attached well and it's sealed for dust, it should last a long time.

    We haven't had a milwaukee one, which is odd cause that's all our power tools are, but used to pack around one of the Dewalt and it's held up bouncing around on the job trailer for couple years. Now we just use a truck cause it got taken out and hasn't made it back in the trailer.

    We pour concrete so the radio isn't real close to anything but it still gets beat around alot. Judging by how well the newer Milwaukee power tools are holding up I'd think it'd be fine.

    Thing are going great right now, thanks for asking. I'm booked through at least September, but I would definitely work in Cecil county if I'm available. How many guys do you have working with you?

    Just me right now, but once and while I will hire on some help but they never last. Most people just want to collect a pay check and not work. You should pm me your number for next time I get a job with concrete work.
