we had a 8 track home stereo and 8 track car stereo, we had Queen, Beatles, Nazareth, Led Zeppelin, Kiss, Billy Joel, Elvis Presley, Allman Brothers etc .
This is by far my absolute favorite tool review channel ever this guy is hilarious but he brings up a lot of good points he’s not afraid to call Milwaukee out even though you can tell he’s a Milwaukee fan boy. He also isn’t afraid to put it out there to people buying these products and he’s not taking any money from Milwaukee to do that. This guy is a beast, and is one of the reasons I made my first Milwaukee purchase three days ago. I got the M 12 starter kit fuel impact driver and hammer drill. Also because of him I was aware of the sale where I got the free cordless oscillating multi tool. I will never not watch one of his videos! Thanks bro!
I'm 38 and have my grandmother's cabinet stereo with turntable and 8 track player. When I was in junior high I would go to her house and use her 8 Track to Cassette adapter, with my Cassette to Aux Out adapter to plug in my Discman so I could listen to my CDs at her house. I had to do the same thing when I would drive her 1978 Seafoam Green Coupe DeVille! I have a collection of about 60 8 tracks right now, but I'd say my Little Richard and Jimi Hendrix "Friends From the Beginning" 8 Track is my favorite.
VCG IS THE BEST!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!!! All your hard work for all of us is so deeply appreciated!!! Thank you!!! Forgot to add... the Husky rolling bag that you loved and have is $30 off at HD. You’re right it’s a fantastic bag but whenever are you wrong? Never!!! Your extremely honest, knowledgeable and that’s why everybody trusts you! You can’t be bought and your a man with tremendous integrity!!!! Bob
I have had the old M12 radio for years. 3 or 4 years I think and use it daily on site and love it! But I will need to upgrade! The old one will be great up north
Picked one of these up about a week ago... my first Milwaukee 'tool' that's not m18 fuel. I have to say I'm very impressed with it so far. My co worker picked up the big m18 one at the same time I got this, he paid more than twice as much for the larger one and honestly it's almost too much... I love mine and he actually regrets not just getting the smaller one too, the large one is overkill for the type of work we do.
Vince I got it direct from Milwaukee, They don't consider this a Radio but a Charger that just so happens to have a radio in it. So its not violating their no hybrid policy.
When I was a kid in the 1970’s my family had a 1976 Buick Electra with an 8 track player. My favorite 8 track was “Elvis Live-Aloha from Hawaii. I still have the 8 track.
Favorite 8 track, Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass. We used to listen to it in an hour commute every day. My mom got so sick of it she threw it out the window!
Hi Vince, What do you mean it's not packout compatible? It fits right inside perfectly, LOL....Plus you can cut out a section of the foam that some people are using for their tools, LOL... See PACKOUT compatible..... Just playing with y'all..... Thanks for the video
My car and later, my Datsun pickup, were decked out with a Pioneer Supertuner 8-Track & radio. I also added a Fosgate amplifier to drive my Jensen speakers..... Favorite tape??? Greetings from Asbury Park by The Boss, himself.
I think the fact that it has an optional cord that serves a purpose of charging a battery thats pretty cool. I wonder how long it takes to charge a dead battery?
I have the older M18 radio charger. Love the sound. Was interested in the Packout version, but the price and still no M12 capability made it a hard no for me.
My favorite 8 track was " A nod is as good as a wink to a blind horse " by Rod Stewart and the Faces. Only problem was that right in the middle of " Cut across Shorty ". It switched tracks and there was that click click sound right in the middle of the song. This is one of the best videos you have done. The pack out radio is kind of expensive especially since I can't hear it before I buy it .
When you buy this tools on line what's the best way to get them warranty? Milwaukee online website sucks big time I love thier tools I hate their customers service.
@VCG Construction. Thanks Vince for the review and a walk down memory lane with the cassette and 8-track tapes My truck still has a working cassette player! I'm glad Milwaukee kept the AM band in their radios which Dewalt didn't do with their Toughsystem 2.0 radio/charger. Do you know whether Dewalt fixed those base speakers in the 2.0 radios? Hope you and your family stay safe and well. Have a Happy Independence Day.
Dam Vince,... Your stand-up is kicking ass today! Cassette...8 track! those were the days. Three heavy 8 "clickers".. Pink Floyd Dark side of the moon, .. Sountrack for Easy Rider, Eric Clapton Derrick and the Dominos, and Steppenwolf. Great stuff Vince Happy 4th madman.
Will it tune to a local radio station I’m wondering if I could take it to the drive in theatre so I can lay on an air mattress in the truck bed while the trucks off
I have both radios, to be honest I prefer the M12. It fits in my tool box instead of being part of it. The sound quality in the M18 is much better tho. Thanks for the review and keep them coming guys 😎
I’ve got the M18 jobsite radio charger. I’m think about switching because it’s a beast and I’ve got plenty of M12 tools. When I’ve got it playing music from my phone via Bluetooth and simultaneously charging my phone (while sitting on the “lid flap”), there’s interference. Did they resolve that issue with this M12 radio charger?
G’day Vince! I’m here from Victoria in Australia! Great videos! I’ve got mine ordered after watching this! 👍 You recommend… we buy 😆 Time to use it fishing and camping once we get out of lockdown over here!
I'm old enough to know what a cassette tape is, and an 8-track player, but never used the latter at all. CD and DVD quality music may be the clearest sounding audio you will hear, but it doesn't have the "fullness" as vinyl records. Even then, vinyl records have increased in quality over the years, and have made a comeback. With all that said, this will be my next M12 pickup.
I still have a 8 track along with my record player home entertainment system as well as a small portable radio that has 8 track that plugs into the end of it, its sweet. Fav one I have has got to be Hank Williams greatest hits
Hey Vince been watching about a year now, live the channel keep it coming. Btw Cooper Electric has some sick Milwaukee deals until July 31st. Lots of free tools and great deals on batteries. Im in the Freehold NJ area there's a Cooper there.
I got the dcr025 because of the nice features but this thing is less portable so I got this one yesterday and damn Its loud enough, mabye not the best sound in town but its very loud for a small pool party or to finish my basement
8 track favorite was Bee Gees..... did a lot of recording when I was younger with Max tapes.... but in your famous words I will say this... as far as regular batteries go I only use Duracell..... I will be getting this radio very soon.... Great video as always bro 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

if you read the instructions like Vince recommends ,,,,holding down the am/fm button for couple seconds brings up treble/bass adjustments
your guys majorly evolved how you guys are in front of the camera, Darn good job Vince
I started watching their videos about 3 months ago but it kind of seems like these guys have been doing it their entire lives
I really enjoy watching them grow and expand.

I love my m18 job site radio. A little heavy but that’s where the gains come in lol
His nick name should be “ConVince” because I’m convinced, Vince.
Or bcoz Vince is a Con
You've been Vince'd.

We love having you as a huge part of the VERYCOOLGANG Robert you are the best brotha! God bless you and happy 4th of July weekend!!
I have had the old M12 radio for years. 3 or 4 years I think and use it daily on site and love it! But I will need to upgrade! The old one will be great up north
I don’t use the AM/FM so I went with the M18/M12 Bluetooth job site speaker. Works awesome and it rocks!
Picked one of these up about a week ago... my first Milwaukee 'tool' that's not m18 fuel. I have to say I'm very impressed with it so far.

Does it sound better or louder than the previous m12 radio?
This man knows his tech
Vince I got it direct from Milwaukee, They don't consider this a Radio but a Charger that just so happens to have a radio in it. So its not violating their no hybrid policy.
Hey yo Vince, this is absolutely one of your hilarious classic videos, it's so funny when you just ad lib everything 😂👊
Definitely grabbing that soon. Thanks for bringing it to my attention!
Where do you stow the AC cord?
When I was a kid in the 1970’s my family had a 1976 Buick Electra with an 8 track player. My favorite 8 track was “Elvis Live-Aloha from Hawaii. I still have the 8 track.
The editing of these videos is gold😄
My was Dark side of the moon I also had a reel to reel best sound ever
Absolutely I know what cassettes are :-) and as a matter of fact, my first car had an 8 Track player, along with a Heart 8 Track tape. Good times!
Thanks for sharing!
I just bought the m12 radio yesterday is amazing sound
Allman Brother Band on 8 track. Wore it out on my mini 8 player installed on my 1969 Pontiac GTO...
Removing the milwakee battery is a little tough. Do you have some advice on how to remove them easier.
Favorite 8 track, Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass. We used to listen to it in an hour commute every day. My mom got so sick of it she threw it out the window!
Stone temple pilots-Core album on cassette 🤘🏼burned that tape up from jamming it so many times.
You crazy Vince! Love the video
It sounds great especially the Bluetooth and my iPhone
Thanks for the unboxing Vince, I preordered the M12 and it’s on its way. I don’t feel disappointed after watching this. Keep doing it dog, good stuff.
250,000 subscribers! Congrats!
Thanks Pandre!
Favorite 8 Track was Tony Orlando and Dawn.
Hi Vince,
What do you mean it's not packout compatible? It fits right inside perfectly, LOL....Plus you can cut out a section of the foam that some people are using for their tools, LOL...
See PACKOUT compatible.....
Just playing with y'all.....
Thanks for the video
Does this m12 speaker sound pretty loud , can you compare it to another spear loudness and clarity wise.
I dont know which other speaker to compare it to but yes it is very loud and the sound quality and clarity are amazing
Does the battery get stuck on the radio, difficult to come off?
I find all m12 batteries are hard to remove.
Really wish manufacturers would provide built-in
storage for AC Adapters & cords when they design
portable devises.
Favourite 8-Track: Willie Nelson's Red Headed Stranger.
Two years later are you still using this radio?
As soon as this was announced I went on the website of a local tool store pretty much everyday waiting for it to become available
My car and later, my Datsun pickup, were decked out with a Pioneer Supertuner 8-Track & radio. I also added a Fosgate amplifier to drive my Jensen speakers..... Favorite tape??? Greetings from Asbury Park by The Boss, himself.
Can VCG construction make another video about all brand jobsite radio speaker? Which one is the best? Is Bosch is the best??
I’ll see what we can work up
Sounds very good for a smaller radio
Just picked this bad mamajama up yesterday at the depot!
No trouble smashin 👍button when it comes to reviews...appreciate it updates. Love it for quick small area repair jobs.
Packout radio does charge m12 batteries with the USB port and a usb pack charger
More stuff to carry.
Great video, good mixture of sarcasm & informative .
8 track in the car and at home! Favorite was kiss destroyer
I think the fact that it has an optional cord that serves a purpose of charging a battery thats pretty cool. I wonder how long it takes to charge a dead battery?
Can you compare to other job site speakers or radios sound quality wise?
I am between the m12 and m12/18 speaker. I have dewalt as an option as well?
M12 radio charger is my preference and yes had 8-tracks but not in my cars
Can you hook it up to the big radio?
There's an equalizer on it as well .. we'll bass n treble adjustments
I have the older M18 radio charger. Love the sound. Was interested in the Packout version, but the price and still no M12 capability made it a hard no for me.
Yeah there's obviously a huge markup on that thing, which makes sense because it's a cornered market (packout radios)
My favorite 8 track was " A nod is as good as a wink to a blind horse " by Rod Stewart and the Faces. Only problem was that right in the middle of " Cut across Shorty ". It switched tracks and there was that click click sound right in the middle of the song. This is one of the best videos you have done. The pack out radio is kind of expensive especially since I can't hear it before I buy it .
Rod Stewart was a badass
How can I not SMASH that like button when you ask like that. Thanks for the video. Would love to get one of their radios.
Got mine on pre order baby
had an 8 track stereo in the garage, Dire Staits was my all time favorite.
When you buy this tools on line what's the best way to get them warranty? Milwaukee online website sucks big time I love thier tools I hate their customers service.
I planned to return it till I discovered the equalizer. Now I’m keeping it

the fact that you are obsessed with milwaukee and expensive knives makes me so damn happy. PLEASE DO SOME KNIFE REVIEWS P.S love the yojimbo
Awesome video man👏. Putting some FLAVOR 🤙👍
Will it tune to a local radio station I’m wondering if I could take it to the drive in theatre so I can lay on an air mattress in the truck bed while the trucks off
Waiting for my radio charger to come in. Smashed that like button. 🔨

How long does the battry.charge last how many hours

Hey vince in another video you said you didn’t like the m12 charger. I’m all m12. What don’t u line about it? Seems to work ok. ???
G’day Vince! I’m here from Victoria in Australia! Great videos! I’ve got mine ordered after watching this! 👍 You recommend… we buy 😆 Time to use it fishing and camping once we get out of lockdown over here!
Thinking about getting one

With all that said, this will be my next M12 pickup.
Had the huge floor model with 8 track/LP/tuner Dr Hook was my favorite.
I still have a 8 track along with my record player home entertainment system as well as a small portable radio that has 8 track that plugs into the end of it, its sweet. Fav one I have has got to be Hank Williams greatest hits
Best advertising ever lol
I've got the M12. It's a good portable radio
Nice radio, I love this radio
Love seeing that xtr impact in the background. Team blue coming hard. People starting to respect that kobalt xtr line....
Hey Vince been watching about a year now, live the channel keep it coming. Btw Cooper Electric has some sick Milwaukee deals until July 31st. Lots of free tools and great deals on batteries. Im in the Freehold NJ area there's a Cooper there.
Great little radio 📻! Sounds good 😃
Yes I know what they are 🤙
Does this have pretty good bass punch to it?Its really hard to tell a speakers sound quality over another speaker.
Any idea when either of those radios will be available in Aus?
Favorite 8track American Graffiti..
Favorite 8 track was Grease soundtrack
This is the smooth radio ever 💕
The Floyd on 8 track. You just moved up in my book Vince. That's good stuff right there
Does the radio work when using only the power cord?
Want to grab one of the smaller radios but I'm too cheap. Got my ten year old one still kicking haha.
The 8 track was the home version of the Cart (cartridge) system used in radio stations
I love this radio!
I got the dcr025 because of the nice features but this thing is less portable so I got this one yesterday and damn Its loud enough, mabye not the best sound in town but its very loud for a small pool party or to finish my basement
Favorite 8 track was AC/DC Big Balls!
Nice! Thanks for the review Vince
Too young for 8-track but did used to blast my bro’s tape of Bon Jovi - New Jersey!
The fart noise at the sticker part killed me
ASMR👂🏽👀
8 track favorite was Bee Gees..... did a lot of recording when I was younger with Max tapes.... but in your famous words I will say this... as far as regular batteries go I only use Duracell..... I will be getting this radio very soon.... Great video as always bro 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I never had 8 tracks, but if i did, Pink Floyd’s the wall is an amazing pick. Sold me for your channel with that one
KISS Alive II 8 track for me, they basically put a radio in the M12 bluetooth speaker.
Vince’s energy in this is killing me right now. Lmao
I recently ordered the new m12 radio with 2/ 4.0 ah XX batteries a charger and a bag for 179.00
Why isn’t vcg live tonight?
