1. A tool, comprising:
- a housing;
at least one mechanism operatively coupled to the housing for performing a job;
a display operatively coupled to the housing for presenting parameter set information of the job performed;
an input mechanism coupled to the display for selectively inputting a parameter set into the tool to initiate the job; and
a communication device configured to wirelessly transmit and receive selected parameter sets of the job performed;
a processing unit coupled to the housing and to a source of electrical energy;
wherein the communication device includes a wireless transceiver coupled to the housing and operatively associated with the processing unit.

13. A tool configured to perform a job, comprising:
-
a housing; at least one mechanism operatively coupled to the housing for performing the job; a display operatively coupled to the housing for presenting parameter set information of the job performed; an input mechanism operatively associated with the display for selectively inputting a parameter set into the tool to initiate the job; and a wireless communication device configured to transmit data to at least one of a base network and a low-power wireless network; a processing unit coupled to the housing and to a source of electrical energy; wherein the wireless communication device includes a transceiver coupled to the housing and operatively associated with the processing unit wherein data communicated among the tool and the at least one of the base network and the low-power wireless network relates to a set of parameters for the job to be performed by the tool and to the tool'"'"'s ability to perform the job within the set of parameters. - View Dependent Claims (14)
