Systems and methods for wireless communication with a stored power tool

A system for wirelessly communicating with a tool, the system comprising:

• a tool storage system configured to store the tool;
• a wireless communication device coupled to the tool storage system, the wireless communication device comprising:
• a power source interface configured to selectively electrically couple to a power source;
• a transceiver;
• an antenna wherein the antenna inductively couples to an antenna electrically coupled to the tool such that the system provides power to the tool;
• a processor electrically coupled to the power source, the transceiver, and the antenna, wherein the wireless communication device is configured to:
• establish a first communication link with an external device;
• receive an indication that communications with the tool are to be carried out;
• and
• in response to the indication that communications with the tool are to be carried out, establish a wireless second communication link with the tool using the transceiver and antenna.
