Internet Connected Power Tools

DeWalt Bluetooth Battery and TollConnect App

Companies have worked for years making tools more powerful and efficient, but, as far as connectivity was concerned, there was little to none.  2015, however, was the year of the internet connected tools.  First to the market was DeWalt, who created a Bluetooth compatible rechargeable battery (see video above).  The battery is able to be monitored and disabled with the click of a button through DeWalt’s ToolConnect application.  It’s great to be able to monitor battery charge and usage on a job site and keeps batteries from walking away, as they can be remotely shut down if they leave the Bluetooth range of the site manager.
