Your Drill Is Calling

摘要

Power tools are designed for professional users and typical applications. Deviate from the norm, as makers and DIYers often do, and you no longer have the best tool for the job. For power-tool users who crave flexibility, Milwaukee's new One-Key line can connect to a smartphone via Bluetooth, allowing users to adjust their tool settings (and keep an inventory of their tools) through an app. The initial One-Key launch includes a cordless drill, hammer drill, impact driver, and two impact wrench sizes. Users can modify nearly every aspect of their drills and drivers. In addition to setting the desired torque ceiling and speed range, advanced options let anyone tinker with variables such as trigger ramp-up time and the duration and brightness of your work light. Once you've chosen your custom settings, you can save them as one of four "profiles." Or you can pick an existing preset profile, tailored to a specific application.
