don't know how this connects to the tool, but apparently need special tools to remove it.
dewalt does have small tool connect tags that can be mounted to anything for tracking.
don't have any tool connect tools, but seems good for the job site. iirc, the bad thing with tool connect is the tool needs a battery connected to activate tool connect. so if stolen, you will probably be able to disable it, but then it will just get thrown in the garbage.
also, unless i missing them, don't see any tool connect batteries for sale outside of kits

Man, this looks like tool low jack and I was hoping it was so I could activate or deactivate a tool remotely. I don't have an immediate need for that but could find fun and amusing ways Big Grin

Air tags and tiles work because lots of people are using the app. No one is running DeWalt connect. It think the real application here is a commercial site where labor doesn't own or care about the tools. This way you have closed space to look for them with the help of BT.

Ugh! For a second I thought this was going the allow my impact wrenches to set torque settings on the phone app like some high end Milwaukee impact wrenches.

Good point. I think this is cheaper and this is also does:
- Permanently attached
- Set "Disable when out of range" Alerts to help deter unauthorized use or theft
- Internal rechargeable coin cell battery

This would be perfect if it works like an airtag, using the same app as the airtag.

Degraded inventory, non-rechargeable coin cell battery inside. Almost need vendor to open this non-destructively, which they charge for.

These were beyond useless, they couldn't pay me $40 to put them on my tools.

I used these for a less security related hobby purpose but returned them due to odd behavior / resetting when main battery was removed. Remote power management on a pass-through tool adapter for $10 isn't bad though if wanted for parts.

I will give them this, the app has a 4.6 star rating on google play. So many great devices are paired with garbage apps rendering them useless, not the case here.
