Milwaukee - M18™/M12™ Wireless Jobsite Speaker

Milwaukee m12/18 job site speaker. Has nice volume and it’s tough.

M12/M18 (the obe on the left). Relatively small, good sound and eats both - m12 and 17 batteries

I just got the one on the right for part of my hurricane kit. It can run off the battery or wall power, when it's on wall power it charges the M12 battery, and it has a USB port for charging other devices.

So I made a mistake, you're looking at the M18. It'll still charge a cell phone off the battery, but it won't charge the m18 batteries

Ok so - first - you are a great wife! Second: I would go with the speaker on the right. It’s new, the latest tech - it’s got great sound, AND if your husband has two or more of them - he can connect them all together using Audio Link and play his music through all at the same time. He can also charge his mobile devices from it as well. Easy decision (for me anyway) Trimmer/dual battery blower? I have both. Both are amazing. The dual battery blower is incredible. It clears out leaves in an instant. Super powerful. It comes with a couple of different nozzle attachments too. The trimmer is also quality. It can be outfitted with many different attachments using the Quick Lok system. So if he wanted to get a pole saw or a hedge trimmer attachment - it’s super easy to just swap them out on the trimmer’s power head. So it’s an extremely versatile tool. And the end of the day - what does he have already? Which would he use more? What’s the larger need? Both are excellent but very different. Also check if either is on sale - that could be a determining factor. Another determining factor is the string trimmer just got an update so the newer model may be something you want to wait for. Either to get him the latest or to see if the current model goes on sale when the new one comes out. Hope this helps!

I got lucky and sniped the one on the left a couple of years ago and I love it, the sound quality will compete even with my packout radio. Now we use it for the babies speaker to play soothing music throughout the night. I was honestly shocked by how good it is.
