A method for communicating between motorized power tools includes establishing, using a physical interface of a first power tool, a wireless radio link between the first power tool and a second power tool. The first power tool has a first motor and the second power tool has a second motor. A signal is received over the wireless radio link, via the physical interface, at the first power tool from the second power tool using a first wireless communication protocol. The signal includes an identifier. The second power tool is verified as authorized to send the signal to the first power tool based on the identifier. A tool component of the first power tool is controlled responsive to the signal.

A system and method for communicating with power tools using a universal protocol. The universal protocol may be implemented using a universal core module that is installed across a variety of power tools and other devices to enable communications therewith. Communications to and from the power tools are translated to a universal protocol once received. The translated communications are handled by the universal core module of a particular tool according to a set of rules. In response, the universal core module outputs communications according to the universal protocol and the set of rules, which may be translated to another protocol for receipt by components of the tool or an external device. The communications may be used, for example, to obtain tool performance data from the tools and to provide firmware updates.

An electric power tool includes a wireless module, a controller, a stage-selection module, a trigger switch, a driver and a driving motor. The method for operating the electric power tool includes steps of receiving a wireless signal from the outside via the wireless module, wherein the wireless signal includes a plurality of control parameters; storing the control parameters into the memory; upon receiving a stage-selection signal, extracting a control parameter in accordance with the stage-selection signal from the memory; upon receiving a triggering signal, outputting a control signal to the driver so as to drive the driving motor, wherein the control signal is output based on a torque value of at least one control parameter which is corresponding to the stage-selection signal. It allows a user to change the settings of the electric power tool via wireless communication, thereby increasing the flexibility of using the electric power tool.
