The TRUTH about Milwaukee's ONE-KEY that MOST OF YOU DON'T KNOW! Plus, you can win an M18 Sawzall!

Back in the summer of 2015, Milwaukee announced ONE-KEY, an inventory tracking platform for their tools. But from the very beginning, ONE-KEY was so much more. It’s made of up 3 very distinct and powerful components.
Milwaukee refers to these 3 separate components as “Customize, Track and Manage”. Today we're going to cover all 3 and tell you a few things about ONE-KEY that you never knew.
PLUS, by leaving a comment below, you'll be entered to win a Milwaukee M18 Sawzall with ONE-KEY!

[@joelbarbarick3296]

I was a Fastenal salesman and one key was a huge selling feature for us so I knew quite a bit about one key but the new tags look cool

[@ToolShow]

As a salesman, what were your go-to bullet points for ONE-KEY? And what feature most often "made the sale"?

[@joelbarbarick3296]

Belts And Boxes For construction it was the manage and track ability. I also offered to put fit customer ladders and job boxes with ticks at no extra cost. For industrial use the ability to dial in the rpm and torque were great for repetitive jobs And keep up the good work, I love the show

@Jefferson Sean I watch on FlixZone. Just search on google for it =)

[@jamarpeterson2981]

Hi, I have a one key drill so I know and use most of the features. I don’t customize the speed often. But I have all my Milwaukee tools in inventory. It works and I love it. My coworker asked to borrow a battery. Then nonchalantly asked to take it home and give it to me the next day. ( I believe his plan was to keep it all along) A few days later I asked for it and he denied borrowing it. He said it was his. I showed him my one key app and he had nothing to say and gave it back.

Never loan your tools out, not even a gnarled up screwdriver.

[@adamkinsella1338]

Can you track the battlers aswell as the tools?

[@davidneal697]

Wow! The batteries even have ONE-KEY? I have to find me a couple. Thought only drills, impacts, etc.. had them. Makes sense considering how much money I've invested in just 9 & 12 Ah batteries.

[@thetoolmat8632]

[@vdxdge__2888]

😂😂😂😂

[@GoofytekSF]

I thought one key was just for basic settings and locking down a tool, but after this video I learned that it can do so much more. I have a bunch of M12 tools now and just started to look into some M18 pieces. I'll now take a 2nd look at those One Key options now! Thanks!

[@juanduben5196]

The one key system is honestly (in my person opinion) awesome! I’ve wanted to get and use the ticks since they first came out but every time I see them, they are always in the shopping carts of others... and surprise surprise... none left on the shelf!. Haha hoot job Milwaukee!

[@MichaelMac9325]

Great information Rob, I just wish I had one key on all of my tools.

[@vincentlonghi1921]

Super cool. You guys are great at explaining the new updated stuff that brands come out with. Didn’t even know half that stuff about one key. Thanks!

[@richardlawson723]

Rob, Thanks for sharing this information about 1 key. There's definitely a lot more going on than I previously assumed, I learned a lot! I am definitely going to share this video with the guys who run our tool room so they can start talking advantage of this awesome new technology. Way to go Milwaukee, this is why I switched from DeWalt.

[@lesdaugherty6807]

I was tasked to develop a way to track tools at the plant I work at. I introduced the One Key program to the maintenance manager and we are in the process of implementing it. Great idea.

[@ToolShow]

That is awesome!

[@aliwooz913]

Unfortunately people with hot hands know to just remove the coin battery and you can't track the tool. I don't it can be tracked just off the regular battery it needs the coin battery. Correct me if I'm wrong

[@martylucas8557]

Hi Rob, that was a good comprehensive overview of OneKey, maybe the best I’ve seen to date. I’m an avid Milwaukee M12/M18 tool user, but have no OneKey power tools. I love the OneKey concept!

[@NickNardone]

Absolutely SUPERB summary video! Thank you for taking the time to create this.

[@rickywrenn]

Love the feature as a homeowner to control settings on my 1/2 inch impact driver. The tracking info is new for me. Thanks.

[@STRIKEFIRE24]

This is why I buy Milwaukee. I thought that One Key only locked my tools. I was unaware that I could set the settings on tools other than an impact driver. Now I'm going to see what setting I could set for my Hammer drill and table saw. Maybe even swap from my 10 inch miter saw to the 12 in miter saw with One Key.

[@bassackwards88]

As a business owner I can definitely see the benefit to having one key and maybe stretching it for the casual or more than casual owners just for the tracking and inventory management but the making your own power settings seems a little pointless and time consuming. By the time you get the app loaded up and the power settings you want you could be half way done with what your doing. Especially if you're a skilled tradesman.

[@jean-denislemieux8731]

Infinite regression

[@jmoye423]

I had no idea there were so many features and options. Thank you for making it so easy to understand

[@reddawgrup1779]

Thanks for the informative video, first time I have heard it explained fully!! Keep up the good work my friend! 👍👍

[@ZunarZulfiqar]

Initial thoughts on Milwaukee One-key before watching the video: One-key is a tool customization, tracking, logging tools for commercial jobs, data collection and storage service. It allows the user to customize different aspects of the performance of their tool to best suit the needs of the job at hand. Some tools supporting One-key take advantage of the platform in order to provide and store data for the user such as crimp level pressure for the force logic tools and statistics for other tools. The system allows an individual to track the location and service history of their tool. The system also allows a company to keep track of their tool inventory and streamlines tools that are out in service, sitting in storage, or out for repair. As an individual who truly loves the One-key customizability, I would love to eventually dig deep into it. Post Wathing The Video: I was close, but I definitely learned something. I did not know about the scan tag stickers nor did I know to what extent you could manage tool inventory. I got the original One-key drill and and combo kit when it first came out as a gift from my parents when I was about 15. I'm 19 now, and am currently using that same set to help my dad rebuild our deck and a wooden retaining wall. I had always wanted to get the Milwaukee One-key sawzall, but ended up getting the Ridgit Gen5x combo kit years ago which included a sawwall, so I didn't need to. That was a huge mistake. We are currently using the Ridgid sawzall, but it just doesn't have any power. It bogs down trying to cut through a 4x4 even with a Diablo wood cutting blade. Even with literal brand new batteries, the batteries die after 3 or 4 cuts since each cut can take up to 5 minutes just to go 2/3 the way through. The saw overheats and is a nightmare to use. I guess my dad finally understands why I recommend Milwaukee reguarding every tool.

[@momik-syan]

It feels good knowing that you could lock your tool if it gets stolen. Milwaukee should put one key On every tool they make. Great video Rob 💯👍👍👍

[@natebrooks7015]

I'm catious about a tool that can brick itself.

[@natebrooks7015]

[@young11984]

Nate Brooks i agree and if stolen whos going to hang within 100’ of where they stole it to be tracked

[@rickpaulos]

no thanks. I don't have a smart phone so I would never buy any tool with one-key. Milwaukee needs to keep making digital-free tools if they want my business again. What next? A Milwaukee cop drone to retrieve your stolen tool and bring it back to your current location which Milwaukee will know. Add a terminator feature and terminate the possessor of the stolen item?

[@Thomas998822]

@@rickpaulos every One Key tool has a non-digital version

[@EragonElda777]

I didn't really know anything about one-key before this video. Thanks for the informative great review!

[@alexc7136]

Wow! What a great feature set! Like many others, I thought this just locked the tool. Now I'm off to see if they have any M12 one key tools!! Thanks for the great video!

[@johnniely4148]

At first I thought it was useless. After this video, I will definitely utilize the one key to protect my investment

[@lukeasti1049]

ONE-KEY™: tracking tools, controlling torque, light timer, cutting variations, tool locking(WHAT!! Too cool) . Soo much more than I thought

[@jesusvaldez2964]

I always wondered what OneKey was, this video helped alot. Thank you!

[@amoscardoza5253]

This was the most informative vid on the one key that I have seen. Those are some fantastic features.

[@YodaPala]

I was going to say this is excessive till I seen the geofencing, that’s pretty damn neat

[@AdamSmith-vi5ly]

I never knew any of these features. I always thought One-Key meant it was Bluetooth connected to your phone & all it did was give status updates on wear n' tear & longevity of the tool. Super cool feature! Thanks

[@lexkymike]

Great Info. New to Milwaukee since 2019, but now understand the versatility of the "one key". Makes me feel great knowing Milwaukee is going the extra-effort for my tool loyalty.

[@FA-xw8zz]

Thankyou for another great segment on the one key definitely a great feature and a must have im sold !

[@beagledad2478]

Amazing, I had no idea about this feature. I'm new to Milwaukee tools and this just gets better and better. Thanks for the information.

[@sickduck4799]

One key tracks and can monitor and control settings on tools. I learned about the tool managing side of One key! Didn’t realize how far it went! Just ordered some labels last week! Thanks Rob great, informative vid as always👍🏼

[@cwikk660]

Pretty cool that if someone brings it in to service because it’s locked out Milwaukee will automatically send it back to the owner. 👍🏻

[@ToolShow]

Yup! That was one of the things that was new to us for sure! Milwaukee told us that it's fairly common for stolen ONE-KEY tools to end up in service once they're locked. The thief assumes they're just broken, and take them in the get fixed! :)

[@Fee.1]

Except when you buy it off Craigslist and the seller locks it to bribe you then Milwaukee sends it to them after you paid them

[@Ethan-hg7jw]

Long ago I mastered the art of misplacing tools, still haven’t changed...

[@kamilpikos3497]

Really good overview. I think that Milwaukee should advertise it more. I was thinking that this is only for tool tracking but the settings adjustment is great!

[@tyrelcardiff9537]

I just recently tried a Milwaukee drill and I love it! I’ve been using Dewalt for twenty years, I’m thinking of completely changing over to Milwaukee!

[@young11984]

Definitely no comparison, i was a DeWalt owner for 10yrs but got a deal on a drill driver and 3/8 impact. First battery tool ive ever owned that the battery outlasted the tool, not saying that in a negative way but i used that 1/4” drill driver for things my dewalt 3/8 impact wouldnt do. Milwaukee has the batterys down and the power of the tools are second to none imo but my experience with one key was a train wreck maybe its better now but 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@syddog1965]

Milwaukee one key is a whole lot more than what I had ever known it to be. This is a great video explaining all the features of one key.

[@Timothy-NH]

I knew about the OneKey and it's ability to custom program tools, but did not realize how much you could program them; that is pretty cool! I have a tick in my laptop bag, I got a few of them for free from someone. I've been tempted to take one, set it as lost and hide it in another contractors bag and see how often I get hits on it.

[@timcronin3365]

[@btbinnovationsllc6815]

You can use the 1 key to track your tools, I know you can scan the box and just load it right in which is really slick. I wish the tracking worked better so that if it was left behind somewhere or stolen, you could locate it better. But I believe more people need to have the app on their phone for that to work. Edit: i was also aware of the asset tags, but I didn't realize you could control so many features of the tools, like the soft start on the sawzall. 😄

[@sidney.langille.1878]

[@RaymondAndrews55]

Nice. So far the only one key I own is 1/2 impact. Will maybe upgrade some of my tools in the future. Also, recommend to my employer, tools and batteries are always going missing, we use a lot of skilled Temps on big jobs. A one key Sawzall would be sweet!

[@stevecec14]

Been in the M12 platform for a while and would love to make the jump to M18 and the One-Key would be a plus, being able to track who has my tools is great but being able to lock the tools is huge.
