System And Method For Operational Data Retrieval From A Power Tool
First Claim
1. A power tool data communication system comprising:
- a housing of a power tool;
a memory within the housing, the memory being configured to store data corresponding to at least one operational parameter of the power tool;
a wireless data transceiver affixed to the housing of the power tool and communicatively connected to the memory, the wireless data transceiver being configured to transmit the data corresponding to the at least one operational parameter of the power tool to an external wireless transceiver in response to receiving a signal from the external wireless transceiver; and
a controller within the housing of the power tool, the controller being operatively connected to the memory and being configured to;
identify the at least one operational parameter of the power tool during operation of the power tool; and
store the data corresponding to the at least one operational parameter in the memory to enable the wireless data transceiver to transmit the data.

Abstract
A power tool data collection system includes a memory in a housing of a power tool that stores data corresponding to at least one operational parameter of the power tool, a wireless data transceiver communicatively connected to the memory, and a controller operatively connect to the memory. The wireless data transceiver transmits the data corresponding to the at least one operational parameter of the power tool to an external wireless transceiver in response to receiving a signal from the external wireless transceiver. The controller identifies the at least one operational parameter of the power tool during operation of the power tool and stores the data corresponding to the at least one operational parameter in the memory to enable the wireless data transceiver to transmit the data.
