Abstract:
Systems and methods for determining a status of an action performed by a power tool. For example, the power tool includes a power tool housing, an accessory, and an electronic processor. The housing includes a recess and an input device. The accessory is configured to be received by the recess. The accessory includes an identifier. The electronic processor is connected to the input device. The electronic processor is configured to receive a first signal from the identifier, determine an accessory type based on the first signal, receive a second signal from the input device, initiate an action based on the second signal, determine an outer diameter of the workpiece, calculate a force applied by the power tool, determine a distance traveled by the accessory during the action, and determine a status of the action based on the force applied to the workpiece and the distance.
