![]() ![]() The fact they did this still makes them my favorite company for power tools however, I would not want someone to be misled regardless of where the fault lied in the explanation that I got. So, I don’t know who had it wrong this app or the supplier but I will say that this app stood by their product and understood the confusion and sent us a replacement. Not so!!! I quickly learned that Milwaukee only works if: someone else also has Milwaukee, and they have their blue tooth on. I thought no problem, I’ll shut it down and see where it’s at, report it to the police, and get my drill back. Within the first two weeks one set was already stolen off one of the trucks. I immediately purchased the two and swapped out some old drills on my guys trucks. I have always been in favor of this app tools and when I went to my local supplier and they told me about this app’s new tools that could be 1) tracked where they were and 2) shut down if they are stolen, I was completely all in. I am an electrical contractor and I bought two sets of the drills and impact combo for two of my foreman. If, for example, a version of the tick came out that did this, I would happily spend $30 per tick (maybe even more) to know that I could always locate my tools. I would easily invest in a product that does this, because it would protect my assets. If the Tick or the tools with one key came with a little battery inside them that pinged their location every six hours, or if you opened Milwaukee and could ping it on demand (similar to find my iPhone) that is a game changer. But what about if they’re stolen? If my tools got stolen it would set me back so, so far. The location pinging only when someone with the one key app is in range is what kills me. However, I only give it four stars because it could use one major improvement. One Key is an amazing idea and it works the way it’s supposed to flawlessly. I love the tools, I love the battery platform, they’re fantastic. I use this app tools pretty much exclusively. I’m an owner of a small remodeling company (3-4 employees). The batteries and the battery charger are no different than the tools that have no smart features. Finally, I really want the ONE-KEY™ tools when locked, to prevent the batteries from being removed from the tools. Alas, I have to reconnect and lock the tool every time. Since Milwaukee already knows usage information about the tool and pings it for location every so often, I should be able to set an option to automatically lock the tool after X minutes of inactivity. Finally, I have to connect manually to lock and unlock my tool each time. I should be able to track the location and disable the output of these batteries since they cost as much as the tools do. ![]() Also, ONE-KEY™ currently doesn’t interact with the this app m18 batteries. Touching the tool again will connect and show all relevant information while the top right small font should give you the option to edit the tools information since that will be the least often performed function. The current version has connect up at the top right (after you select which tool) and then touching the tool again edits it’s information. One key can track tool and equipment locations and even lock ONE-KEY™ enabled devices (only 3 devices so far). This is a good start for what I believe could be a much more powerful tool. ![]()
