Milwaukee One-Key is a new feature that Milwaukee announced back in September that allows One-Key enabled tools to communicate wirelessly with smartphones running the One-Key App. While the App was released in September, since no One-Key enabled tools were available, it was only really useful for tool inventory management. That is all about to change February 2016 when the first One-Key enabled tools with Tool Control will hit store shelves. These first One-Key Tool Control tools will be a selection of M18 Fuel Drills and Impacts.

Everyone wants to know when Milwaukee will be releasing their new M18 XC5.0 Extended Capacity Battery Pack and you should be happy to learn that they will be coming out next month (November 2014). This means there will be plenty of time for you to add them to your Christmas list. You might be surprised to learn that the new Milwaukee 5.0 Ah battery got more than just boost in capacity and runtime, but I will get to that later.

We all hate using the standard squeeze-grip style caulking gun - especially if the weather is cold and you can't get your goop to flow - but we don't really want to spend a fortune on getting a powered unit either. Thanks to Milwaukee we now have a third option with their new M12 ultra compact cordless caulk and adhesive.

12-volt tools are quickly becoming just as powerful as the 18v tools of just a couple of years ago and might soon eliminate the need for the extra voltage. Just as 12v tools are replacing the need for 18v tools, it looks like Milwaukee could be set on making 4v tools the new compact king, and their new M4 screwdriver is just the start.

Milwaukee first made their new brushless M12 Fuel line of drills and impacts known during their press event way back in June. They then gave us the clue about the winter release date back in August. Now, with winter just around the corner, they have released the specs, and they have us wondering if you really need 18v tools anymore.

When I am reading about new tools I always think about how these tools will help me on the job. When I see the new sub-compact 2412-20 M12 SDS-Plus Rotary Hammer I think of all the times I had to run hundreds of feet of extension cords so I could drill holes to set door thresholds at hotel jobs. The 2412-20 seems perfectly suited for these types of jobs.

Along with Milwaukee's announcement of new higher capacity batteries comes their announcement of new Brushless M12 cordless drivers. In my opinion Milwaukee has been the leader in 12-volt ultra compact tools, and they have shown this again by leading the pack with Brushless ultra compact drivers.
