Milwaukee Electric Tool Corporation M18 FUEL 2904-20 (1/2" Hammer Drill/Driver, tool only)
D0 No Radio — No radio at all. It cannot phone home.
The unplug test
This drill has nothing to unplug from. It runs on an M18 battery, has a mechanical clutch with 14 (comparable) settings, and an LED worklight wired straight to the motor circuit. There is no ONE-KEY chip in it, no app pairing step, and no account anywhere between opening the box and driving a screw.
Why this tier: No radio: the manufacturer's product page describes only motor, chuck, clutch and LED-light specs with no Bluetooth/ONE-KEY/app mention, and Milwaukee's FCC grantee record (P36) — which includes specific tool model numbers with radio grants (e.g. 2931, 2835) plus a dedicated ONE-KEY Bluetooth tracking tag line — has no entry for 2904 or 2904-20.

Where to buy
Open questions
- Milwaukee's ONE-KEY line reuses similar model-number families across drills, impact drivers and rotary hammers — a buyer should double-check they are not picking a ONE-KEY-suffixed variant of a superficially similar tool number.

Class A is primary (manual, FCC filing, teardown). Class B is corroborated community reporting. Class C is never sufficient alone.
