The ONE-KEY™ system is very easy to use and intuitive. Now add in the fact that you can track a tool and report it missing, keep track of all your tools (even non Milwaukee tools) with their free ONE-KEY™ app (including receipts, photos, and records) which is accessible from anywhere on the cloud, and also track crimping data for press tools and you can quickly see the value to any construction company. Today’s drills and impact drivers have so much power than fastener damage is a fairly common problem. Being able to program in custom settings for speed and torque is a huge convenience and helps eliminate stubborn problems especially for smaller fasteners that are prone to breaking. I believe the ONE-KEY™ platforms Tool Control gets us very close to that goal. In addition, I’m looking forward to the day when we have “one” cordless drill (or impact driver) that can do lots of tasks from demanding as installing 10″ lag bolts to installing small finish screws in Cherry cabinets. Quality control is a huge deal and any tool that can make my guys faster and eliminate quality control issues has my attention. I’m here to say loud and clear that I call BS!įor me as a general contractor who oversees crews and manages large construction projects, I need my crews to be productive, efficient, and good. ![]() So I chuckle at some of the comments I’ve read about how “macho” men don’t need the ability to change the speed and torque on their drill because they are so good they can perfectly control the tool and NEVER break a fastener. We all know that’s nonsense and you’d likely not find anyone offering up that claim anymore. I remember not that long ago talking to an old time carpenter and he swore up and down that he could work just as fast and good using a hammer vs a pneumatic nailer. How do you stay in front of the competition? The answer is one we all know: Be More Productive, More Efficient, and Offer Better Quality. Even more likely is the fact that there is very stiff competition every day for the work you do from competitors who are bidding and fighting for the same work day in and day out. Let’s face it if you’re reading this article it’s very likely that you make a living using tools to build something. I’ve read lots of coverage from other review sites and lots of Social Media chatter and it leaves me scratching my head a bit, and here’s why. I say that because this article really is about a new technology that is very likely to change the future of cordless power tools. This article really is more of an editorial piece than a review. Milwaukee ONE-KEY™ – Our Thoughts & Impact To Our Business I think it’s fair to say that our entire staff feel the M18 FUEL tools are currently the top of the line in the industry for Impact Drivers and Drill Drivers so the tool itself is amazing even before the ONE-KEY™ features. Tool Reporting – This feature allows users of crimping tools to record and document time-based reporting of crimping activity.īesides the ONE-KEY™ features, these new tools offer the latest in M18 FUEL features including their POWERSTATE™ Brushless Motor, REDLITHIUM™ Battery Pack and REDLINK PLUS™ Intelligence Hardware and Software.This software creates an excellent link between the office and field for inventory management. It allows users to manage an entire inventory of tools (any brand and type), including copies of receipts, employees that are assigned to a tool, even images. Inventory Management – This feature is part of the free cloud-based software that Milwaukee is offering with the ONE-KEY™ platform.This feature also will alert when a “lost” tool is found. The phone app shows a map with the last known location. Phones connected to the tools will register the tool location every time the tool comes within 100 ft of the tool. ![]()
