18-Volt Mini Bluetooth Radio (Tool-Only) is rated 4.3 out of 5 by 10.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Jessealex from The sound is poor Got the radio as part of a bundle Not good. Sound is poor quality. Sounds like every station is AM. Easy to hook up to blue tooth but sound quality stays the same. Which I could trade it out for anything else

Rated 2 out of 5 by Rkelly009 from Poor sound quality I have been very impressed with the ridged brand tools I have. I would not hesitate to try any of there tools based on the many I have. So I tried there radio. It would be great to use there batteries to power a radio. But the sound quality is that of a cheap radio. Probably should stick with tools.

Rated 5 out of 5 by MiketheChiefsman from Great little radio and Bluetooth player. I used this recently while painting and I was impressed by the durability, radio reception signal and overall usability. Some takeaways from my experience: • Good AM/FM reception. AM can be sketchy at times with some radios but this one held up well while I was enjoying some sports talk radio. • It’s small and easy to carry around. Very small footprint, which I love. Barely takes up any space in your tool bag. Also great to use outside, in the garage, bedroom, tailgating, etc. • Easy to use and program. Probably one of the ‘easiest to use’ Radio‘s/Bluetooth’s you have ever owned. • Bluetooth holds connection well. I got plenty to distance. • This thing can take a beating. Built well and tough. • No defects found on the radio. • It will charge you smartphone. I truly love this feature! • Aux in for those who don’t want to use Bluetooth. • 18V battery is efficient on this radio. • Sound quality is on par for this type of radio, size, and price point. Overall, it’s a great, compact unit. I couldn’t recommend this one enough.

Rated 5 out of 5 by TippittsTimber from Grab and go Many days, I have to jump in the truck and go to a job site and dont have time to think through all the details of what I need to power things up, but with RIDGID batteries, I just keep enough in the truck to provide power for my radio, and 5-6 power tools for the day and I am set. I love this specific radio because its weather proof- I have literally had it in a downpour and it works and sounds great. I love also that it is incredibly durable! It has taken many beating with the work that I do and has not skipped a beat. One time I even dropped a 2x10x12 pine board right no top of it when it was playing and it works just fine. It didn't even scratch it! Thank you Ridgid for designing such great products and ones that I can trust will continue to work in the natural environments that are around and also the crazy environments that I might inflict on it.... :) All the more reasons why I am proud to be #TeamRIDGID for life!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Eddybouer from Cool little radio I'm the type that likes to have music playing in the background just about always. So I saw this little guy and thought I would give it a try. I've been impressed with it so far. It sounds good, it's durable and the battery life is amazing. It usually sits in my small shop and collects a lot of dust but just keeps working. My 2 year old loves to smash on the buttons and hasn't broken it yet. My true test of tools is to let my son play with them and if they don't break they are pretty durable. He chucks my radio off the table over and over onto the concrete floor. It's cringe worthy. Overall this radio goes with me to job sites and keeps working I love it! Recommend

Rated 5 out of 5 by Edgar from Sweet radio I bought this radio with the idea of it being a good camping radio. It has proved to be true. It's small and fits in well at the camp site. It's also a tough little bugger, it gets ash from the fire blown onto it from time to time and still pumps out great sound. I've been impressed with this radio and recommend it to everyone.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Coolride38 from Great Radio This is a very well built and great sounding radio in a small package. It's nice to have a radio that I can just grab and set it anywhere. It has some great features such as bluetooth and usb charger for a devise such as your phone. The free downloadable APP is pretty kool in itself. You can change volume, stations and set alarms. This radio is very durable and batteries last a looong time. All covered by the lifetime warranty... Can't go wrong here. So, if your looking for a BIG radio in a small package this is it..

Rated 5 out of 5 by DonJuan from sounds great! First, this radio sounds great for its small size. I like the size for my shop, it fits perfectly. It's always the first thing I turn on when I go to the shop. It's small size makes it easy for me to throw in the tool bucket and take to all the job sites. With that being said, it takes some abuse getting knocked around in the tool bucket. It has held up great so far. I can listen to the radio all day on one battery. This little radio has taken the test and passed. I recommend this to everyone.
