The Hardest iPod Dock On The Block

Meet the ‘The Daddy’ of iPod docks. You won’t be getting this in your back pocket but if you’re planning a holiday in a Iraq, you’ll appreciate the fact that this thing is built like a Sherman tank.

This is the AM/FM Construction Radio, designed to keep workers happy while surviving more than 5 minutes on construction sites, garages and workshops. The radio/dock’s hard side frame protects it from damage while you listen to AM/FM radio or MP3/WMA tunes stored on your iPod, USB Flash memory stick or SD card.

Apart from being able to shrug off the odd whack from a forklift truck, it has a few things that other iPod docks do not. These include a spotlight, two DC power ports, a 5V DC USB charger for mobile phones and a couple of AC plug outlets to plug in your power tools.

The beast measures 16in x 10.5in x 11.5in and weighs 10lbs. It costs £65 here.-Martin Lynch
