Yes, You Can Actually Lock Your Milwaukee Tools (And Here's Why It's Awesome)
Imagine this: You're elbow-deep in building that dream bookshelf, and bam! Nature calls. You head inside for a quick break, only to return and find your precious drill MIA. Talk about a DIY disaster! But with ONE-KEY, you can lock your tool remotely using your phone. That rogue drill suddenly becomes a useless brick (well, not literally a brick, but definitely unusable). This not only deters would-be borrowers (we're looking at you, neighbor with the perpetually "broken" toolbox) but also makes your tools significantly less attractive to thieves. It's like giving your Milwaukee gear its own personal bouncer.
But wait, there's more! Locking your tool also helps you track it down if it goes missing. Let's say you misplaced your favorite hammer (because, let's be honest, who loses a hammer?) The ONE-KEY app can show you the last known location of your tool, so you can skip the frantic toolbox shuffle and get back to hammering nails in no time.
Tip: Don’t rush — enjoy the read.

Reminder: Save this article to read offline later.
Bonus tip: While you're at it, set up geofences in the app. This creates a virtual perimeter around your workshop or home. If your tool strays outside the geofence, you'll get a notification, so you can be the hero of your own tool heist movie.
