Abstract

A work apparatus is in particular a press tool for pipes and the like and has a drive unit which is provided for a tool of the work apparatus and to which an electronic tool controller is assigned. In order to enable optimal operation with this work apparatus, the tool controller has at least one microcontroller, which is provided with at least one communication module, which can be preconfigured so that the microcontroller independently establishes a network connection via the communication module and connects to a cloud or a server/data storage and exchanges data. The work apparatus establishes a network connection after being powered on and/or at time intervals/times and/or after certain operating states, connects to a cloud or a server/data storage and exchanges data.
