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: As you can tell, functionality will be rolled out in 3 initial waves. Tool Control is the functionality I am most excited about. Inventory Management (Launching Sep 2015) Some of your Milwaukee One-Key predictions were quite close to the truth. Milwaukee provided a number of clues, and we asked you what you thought One-Key was all about. Milwaukee One-Key tools will communicate with smartphones and other compatible devices via Bluetooth.
