Electronic tool and method for copying a plurality of settings from a mechanical tool to another mechanical tool

An apparatus for copying a plurality of operational settings from a first motorized mechanical tool and transferring the plurality of operational settings to a second motorized mechanical tool, the first motorized mechanical tool and the second motorized mechanical tool each having a plurality of operational characteristics, the apparatus comprising:

• a non-transitory computer readable storage medium readable by a processor and storing program instructions executable on the processor, the program instructions configured to:
• cause an electronic tool to establish communication with the first motorized mechanical tool;
• cause the electronic tool to read a first plurality of settings from the first motorized mechanical tool, the first plurality of settings including at least one of a predefined speed value or a predefined torque value for the first motorized mechanical tool;
• cause the electronic tool to store the first plurality of settings for the first motorized mechanical tool in the non-transitory memory;
• cause the electronic tool to disable communications between the electronic tool and the first motorized mechanical tool;
• cause the electronic tool to establish communication with the second motorized mechanical tool;
• cause the electronic tool to verify the second motorized mechanical tool as compatible with the at least one of the predefined speed value or the predefined torque value for the first motorized mechanical tool based upon a plurality of operational characteristics associated with the second motorized mechanical tool;
• and
• cause the electronic tool to write, upon verification of model compatibility of the second motorized mechanical tool, a second plurality of settings to the second motorized mechanical tool, the second plurality of settings including the at least one of the predefined speed value or the predefined torque value and other applicable operational settings of the first plurality of settings to duplicate a plurality of operational characteristics of the first motorized mechanical tool at the second motorized mechanical tool.
