![]() ![]() The example they gave discussed setting up electrical service for a hospital, which required X-number of crimps. Using the reporting software, users will be able to creating reports that track the success and timing of electrical crimps and terminations. Right now, there is only one tool that’s coming out that will work with Milwaukee’s One-Key reporting functionality, and that’s their upcoming One-Key M18 Force Logic 6T utility crimpers. You’re in control of how the tool is set and configured. The non-One-Key versions have 3 preset speed and torque settings and 1 special 4th mode. With the One-Key impact tools, you can have 3 customized speed and torque modes, or make them all special application modes. The Milwaukee One-Key M18 Fuel impact driver and impact wrenches will offer similar speed and torque customization functionality. Speaking of profiles, you can use ones that are created by Milwaukee, or you can create your own. This can be manually customized, or it might be tweaked based on a fastener or drill bit profiles. What the drills’ anti-kickback setting does it limit the current draw to the motor, based on the setting on a scale of 1 to 10. ![]() Screenshot of the torque and speed settings screen from the pre-launch app – I don’t recall if this was for a drill or impact tool I tried this feature, and found it to be particularly effective. Because of this, you also get anti-kickback control, if you want it. Something to keep in mind is that the drills will have electronic clutches. Screenshot of the torque and speed settings screen from the pre-launch app But after you do that you’ll need to re-sync with the One-Key app to restore your customizations. ![]() Want to set the tool back to factory mode? You can. You can customize things like the speed range, torque levels, and even select from preset application, drilling, and fastener-specific profiles. I believe you could also even customize the clutch settings! That’s correct, the drills will have electronic mode selection buttons on the bottom, just like the new M18 Fuel impact tools do. Once you have the settings set to your liking, you can change back and forth from the different modes with a touch of the appropriate settings button. And users will be able to customize each of these selectable modes. Milwaukee’s One-Key Fuel brushless drills will feature 4 settings buttons, similar to the new impact drivers. It’s set-and-forget, unless you want to change or tweak overall settings or those of the selectable modes. Your phone doesn’t need to be in constant connection with the tool. Update: Something I should have pointed out is that changes to a One-Key power tool’s settings or modes are done on the app and then uploaded to the tool. The One-Key drills and impact tools will ship with factory settings which can be reverted to at any time. If you revert back to factory settings, you will have to connect with the One-Key app to re-sync your customizations. The new One-Key M18 Fuel drills and drivers are scheduled to launch in January 2016, when the One-Key Tool Control functionality becomes available. This should all translate to savings in time, fatigue or frustrating, and even money.īasically, Milwaukee One-Key will allow users to reprogram their tools, at least their compatible One-Key tools. Let’s talk about the big question – WHY? It seems that Milwaukee believes, and rightfully so I think, that giving users the ability to customize certain aspects of their tools’ previously factory-set profiles will lead to faster, easier, or more efficient work, or simply better performance and end results. ![]() Milwaukee has said that they will first focus on fastening tools, such as drills and impact tools, as these tools often see very broad use and would benefit the most from One-Key’s tool control potential. All of these tools will also be available as One-Key versions. And a new M18 Fuel impact driver and impact wrenches. Milwaukee is coming out with a new M18 Fuel drill and a hammer drill, to replace the 1st generation models. I can imagine a time in which I’ll pull up an app on my phone and choose from dozens of modes for my driver, not just the four on the unit itself. The closest “What is One-Key?” guess was from Noah, who wasn’t even guessing at the riddles! His comment was in response to my preview of Milwaukee’s 2nd generation M18 Fuel impact driver and wrenches! He said: ![]()
