Milwaukee Tool Introduces the Industry’s First Motorised Torque Wrench, Delivering 50% Faster Installations

a The M12 FUEL^™ 3/8” and 1/2” Digital Torque Wrenches w/ith ONE-KEY^™ deliver 50% faster installation times, replacing hand tools or the traditional two-tool installation processes and providing more accuracy to reduce the over-torqueing of fasteners. In addition, these tools enhance the overall torque reporting experience by generating torque data and customisable reports for inspectors and owners through One-Key^™.

“Electricians have a responsibility to install conductors and make connections according to the manufacturers’ instructions. Unfortunately, though, it’s commonplace for many electricians to tighten connections in one of two ways: (1) Using an impact and then a torque wrench or (2) Manually ratcheting a torque wrench to get to the target value. These processes aren’t only time-consuming, but they can also lead to overly-tightened connections or even repetitive motion injuries over time for users,” said Sendi Spoljaric, Group Product Manager for Milwaukee Tool. “The M12 FUEL^™* Digital Torque Wrench with ONE-KEY^™ increases productivity during the overall torqueing process by delivering faster, more accurate connections and a reporting experience all performed on the tool.”

These tools combine a POWERSTATE^™ brushless motor  and a digital torque wrench into one tool to deliver up to 50% faster installation times, with precise torque accuracy of up to ±2% CW, ±3% CCW of full scale for torque critical fasteners.

The Process

Step 1: Set the torque target by application

Step 2: Pull the trigger to max RPM

• Tool will automatically stop prior to target torque to prevent over-torqueing.

Step 3: Finish by hand to reach target torque

• The tool will notify the user is the proper torque was applied through sound, vibration, LED lights, and an on-screen notification.

Step 4 (Optional): Press “Save” to record the final torque event

Reporting

 “Compatible with ONE-KEY^™*** this tool provides simple one-button recording functionality to save the data, and then the ability to customise a report of this data to provide verification for inspectors or engineers - ultimately removing the need to manually record the torque value for each fastener.”

Up to 28,500 torque events can be saved on the tool, and unlimited events can be stored within the ONE-KEY^™ app. These ONE-KEY^™ reports can be easily customised and organised for the job at hand. In addition, ONE-KEY^™ allows users to wirelessly connect to the tool through their smartphone to customise the tool settings, track its location, manage it in their equipment inventory, and lock-out the tool for added security.

*M12 FUEL^™ power tools are designed, engineered, and built to deliver extreme performance and productivity. The M12 FUEL^™ products feature three MILWAUKEE^®-exclusive innovations—The POWERSTATE^™ brushless motor, REDLITHIUM^™-ION battery pack and REDLINK PLUS^™ intelligence hardware and software—that deliver outstanding power, run time and durability on the jobsite. Simply put, M12 FUEL^™ tools are the most powerful sub compact cordless tools in their class.

**ONE-KEY^™ is the first digital platform for tools and equipment. By integrating industry-leading tool electronics with a custom-built cloud-based program, ONE-KEY^™ provides a new level of control and access to information that revolutionises the way work gets done. The ability to customise, track, and manage through ONE-KEY^™ fundamentally changes the way users interact with their tools.
