  • Not just for ONE-KEY!

    I wish the app was called something different because I get a whole lot of use out of it without owning a single ONE-KEY™ tool. It's a great app for cataloging ALL your tools whether they're ONE-KEY™ or not (or even whether they're Milwaukee or not), so while the app would of course be most functional for owners and users of ONE-KEY™ tools, the name is a bit misleading and a whole lot of other people who could get good use out of it probably haven't downloaded it because they too don't own any ONE-KEY™ tools, and so they look at the name and mistakenly think this app won't be of any use to them. In fact, it's great for all tools, regardless of whether they're Milwaukee or ONE-KEY™, and in fact the app was designed with all tools in mind, as it allows you to sort your tools by manufacturer, among other criteria. Yet another piece of real quality work by the folks at Milwaukee. If you'd like to keep track of any tools at all, give this app a try!

  • Don’t know what I would have done

    Don’t know what I would have done if I didn’t have these One Keys from Milwaukee. I have one on every large tool I’ve purchased for my business. As well as every tool box. Unfortunately where I live your things are not safe even if they are locked away in your van and your parked in a public place midday. I was unlucky enough to find this out and apparently I’m not the only one, but that’s another story. What I was lucky enough with was having these One Keys on EVERYTHING. The criminals took my tool boxes and tools to a storage they had purchased and began attempting to break the locks when the police arrived and arrested them. Along with my tools they found about $30,000 worth of other tools that they just never sold or were never able to sell, I don’t know. I bought about a bakers dozen of these for around $200 and in turn they saved me thousands.
    Aside from that, I love being able to track the location during work hours, also I love being able to know what is and isn't available, this used to be kind of a headache. So THANK YOU MILWAUKEE!

  • Room to Improve

    I’ll start with the good.
    I had a real life experience where this (and a good samaritan) saved me from losing my compact band saw.
    Long story short… I left a Home Depot and didn’t close my work van doors all the way. The door swung open and the band saw fell out without me knowing. Almost a week later I need the band saw, can’t find it, immediately check this app for its last location. Seen at Home Depot that morning. I drive back to depot; look around, ask around with employees and managers. No one knows. I walk around with the app and it finds it near by! It was at the Pro desk waiting for me to come get it. I proved it was mine with the serial number I had saved with it. Perfect!

    The bad.
    There’s no heads up when batteries are dead or dieing. Someone borrowed my ladder without asking on a job site and I spent 30min looking for it. The app was of no use because ALL of my ticks I have on tools and toolboxes died and I had no idea. They were installed all at the same time so the batteries all must of died the same day as well. So it was no use to help find my lost ladder.
    It would be really nice if the app told me the batteries are dieing just like AirTags.

  • The greatness of one key

    I have bought and used Milwaukee tools for the past 8 years. My first hammer drill and impact driver are still running today after thousands of installs and much abuse. I have never had an issue outside of their battery powered copper tubing cutter which seem to last about two year before failing; however it is still an exception tool that saves my hand from carpal tunnel! When you buy a Milwaukee tool you know you’re getting exceptional quality, innovation, and reliability! The One Key system is simply amazing and a huge step into the future of hand tools. Instead of simply having a few preset modes, you can customize your tool exactly to meet your specific needs. It’s also very handy in understanding just how much you utilize a specific tool in your arsenal. I would highly recommend buying tools equipped with the One Key system and using this app. Great job Milwaukee!!!

  • If Milwaukee Tools makes a tool you do, you have been put on notice.

    Man, first off the no questions asked five year warranty is the right way to do customer service and create a loyal lifetime customer. Neighbor bought a tool at a yard sale, it had a problem and they sent it back like new, no cost, no receipt, no questions. But this app is on a whole different level. Dad can do basic things but is starting to suffer mental decline. This app helps him know what he has, and he can locate it too. Plus the peace of mind if a theft were to occur, y’all are nailing it in a way businesses have forgotten how to do customer service. Yes, the trade off is generally more expensive out of the gate, but I don’t want to buy something twice like I did with Default(DeWalt). If I have to, it was never meant to do the job in the first place. Keep on killing it guys!!!

  • Milwaukee for life!

    Continuously at the HELM of innovation, quality & practicality. Milwaukee has been the first & only choice for me since starting in the Electrical trade 20yrs ago. I’ve never had a problem with anything I’ve ever purchased with their name on it. I’m confident in the products they create & support the brand 100%. The one key app is not only the first of its kind, but allows you complete control of any tool with one key capability and even provides tracking within 100’ of them or any other tool you chose with their external tick devices. I could go on for days & still not give their technology, attention to detail, or customer service due credit. Try it out for yourself. Bravo Milwaukee... Bravo!

  • Great Until Update - Bugs4Dayz - User Right Flawed

    Every time new manufacturers added while adding new item app freezes. Must cancel new item being created then go back in. If you make the slightest gesture swiping down YOU LOOSE EVERYTHING WHEN CREATING A NEW ITEM. Serious frustration after entering all data and photos then the slightest downward swipe causes item creation to be aborted and all is lost (maybe be create a simple cancel button in corner). Most important issue is the user rights. User must have DELETION RIGHTS in order to check out a tool. This makes no sense why you would jeopardize data quality and user accidentally deleting items. The whole point of application is to check tools in and out without giving full access, deletion rights should not be a requirement but reserved for Owner/Mangers.

  • Don’t regrets for a sec buying the OneKey over regular

    The able to dial in my impact really is useful. I’ve got my first 2 settings set for lug nut torque. It does get very close to what it’s supposed to be. (I do with I could dial them in even farther though.) I love the ability to tone down the torque when letting my knucklehead son use it. It likes to learn things the hard way evidently. He’s had a history of snapping bolts, I love being able to limit this impact. I can see how that might be useful for a business owner.

  • Excellent and accurate

    I use these tags to protect my camera equipment and all my tripods, etc. the location map is very accurate as mentioned. I have them hidden in some of my camera cases, Incase someone were to help themselves. On missing feature that tile units have is being able to activate a sound to audibly locate your tag. With tile, you can trigger a sound from the tag to locate the item by sound. And if you push the button on the tile itself, it will make your phone ring, to help find that, if missing. I do recommend these one key tags.

  • Stolen car found!!

    My 2016 Mazda CX-5 had been stolen 3 times this year and I had to do SOMETHING!! So I picked up this little half dollar sized GPS made by Milwaukee and threw it in the back of my SUV. I was pretty disappointed at first because it seemed I needed to be pretty close to my car for the Bluetooth chip to work. When my car was stolen for the 4th time it showed me where I had last parked it but nothing more. Darn! But within a week it popped back up on the app telling me it was at an address in a town 40 miles from here. I called the police in that town to see if they could check it out and got a call back within 15 minutes - my car was at that exact address and I recovered it!! Way to go Milwaukee!!
