Abstract
Systems and methods for reporting usage of a power tool. The power tool comprises a pair of jaws configured to crimp a workpiece, a piston cylinder configured to actuate at least one of the pair of jaws, and a sensor configured to sense operating characteristics associated with a crimping application. An electronic processor connected to the sensor. The electronic processor is configured to receive, from the sensor, one or more characteristic signals, determine, based on the one or more characteristic signals, a first operating characteristic of the power tool, and determine, based on the one or more characteristic signals, a second operating characteristic of the power tool. The electronic processor is configured to determine the crimping application of the power tool based on the first operating characteristic and the second operating characteristic and generate a report indicating the crimping application performed by the power tool.
