It slices! It dices!
Well, it doesn't do either of those things, but Bosch's Power Box Advanced does have a CD player with CD-R/RW and MP3 capability, an FM stereo/AM tuner with presets, speakers with separate bass and treble control, a remote control, cell-phone charger and four GFI-protected outlets for your other power tools, and works off AC power or Bosch batteries (which it recharges). And -- particularly worthy of note for the contractor or home-improvement buff in your life -- it has sealed buttons to guard against dust and a roll cage that protects it from a 10-foot drop. It's about $179 at Home Depot and Lowe's stores and other local and online retailers; for a complete list, go to www.boschtools.com.
