 Andrew, I've been using one for about 6 months or so.
Things I like:  the sound (loud and clear)
                       the equaliser (to adjust between cricket commentary and music)
                       the charger
                       the power outlets
                       the battery life
Things I don't like:  the weight
                                the charger's slow (2 hrs.+ for a 3.0 ah. batt.)
The verdict:  couldn't live without it!

 As a charger, I'm sure the Radio should be tax deductable as a tool of the trade!

ive looked at this radio but the size is to big it would take up to much valuable space why cant they make it smaller the makita is smaller more compact but different bateries so come on bosch how about a more compact model when you carry a number of different tools space is important i dont want a bigger van my hi ace only just gets in the garage as it is.What do you say BOB? anything new coming out

Hi Gareth
The GML 20 and 50 are the same size (although the GML 20 is lighter) and both are top of the range building site radios with roll cage that'll survive drops from up to 2 metres, which is reflected in the size of the product.  Point taken about the possible need for a smaller radio, but for now the heavy duty one is what we have.

Kind regards
The Bob Team

thanks guys maybe i can make space in a corner of the van.Something that might be of use to other builders is ive fitted a false floor 200mm above the existing floor using 50x50 angle iron and an 1200x2400x22mm ply we can carry12 sheets of plasterboards underneath or boxs of wall tiles etc you must have a load area large enough to carry boards in the first and not to much rake on the bulkhead 12no.1.2x2.4x12.5 boards is the limit for my HI ACE short wheel base i am sure it would work in many other vans
