Description

Power tool system, management method, and non-transitory storage medium Technical Field The present disclosure relates generally to power tool systems, management methods, and non-transitory storage media. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to a power tool system, a management method, and a non-transitory storage medium including a power tool used in a job performed on a job object. Background JP 2000-334670A discloses a power tool control system (power tool system) including a power tool and a center manager (management system). The central manager transmits preset screw tightening information to the electric tool through a network. The power tool controls rotation of its motor based on the received screw tightening information. Disclosure of Invention Problems to be solved by the invention In the power tool control system of JP 2000-334670A, if the power tool is a portable tool, communication between the power tool and the center manager is preferably established wirelessly. However, in the case where wireless communication needs to be established between the power tool and the center manager, the power tool may not receive the screw tightening information from the center manager according to the communication environment. Failure to receive the screw tightening information may prevent the power tool from performing the operation of tightening the screw, and thus may cause a decrease in the operation efficiency. It is, therefore, an object of the present disclosure to provide a power tool system, management method, and non-transitory storage medium, all of which are configured or designed to reduce the likelihood of causing a decrease in the efficiency of a job performed using a power tool. Solution for solving the problem A power tool system according to an aspect of the present disclosure includes a power tool and a management system. The power tool includes a first communication unit for establishing wireless communication. The electric tool is used for operating an operation object. The management system includes a second communication unit that communicates wirelessly with the first communication unit of the power tool. The management system causes the second communication unit to transmit setting information related to a plurality of tasks of the job to the first communication unit during a single communication session with the first communication unit. A management system according to another aspect of the present disclosure includes a communication unit and a control unit. The communication unit of the management system communicates wirelessly with a communication unit included in the power tool. The electric tool is used for operating an operation object. The control unit causes the communication unit of the management system to transmit setting information related to a plurality of tasks of the job during a single communication session with the communication unit of the power tool. A management method according to still another aspect of the present disclosure is a method for managing a job performed on a job object by a power tool. The power tool includes a communication unit for establishing wireless communication. The management method includes establishing wireless communication with the communication unit. The wireless communication includes transmitting setting information related to a plurality of tasks of the job to the communication unit during a single communication session with the communication unit.
