A DC tool is a measuring instrument that happens to tighten a bolt. Once calibration lapses, or a worn socket changes the trace, every joint it fastens is a record you cannot defend. On a takt line that is a zone stop, not a quality meeting next week.
The steps ChatterFix schedules for this PM. Every step is a checkable item on the work order — a technician can speak their way through it without touching a keyboard.

The controller still says OK. The socket looks fine from a metre away. The first honest signal is a joint that fails in audit, by which time the tool has fastened a shift's worth of vehicles.
Calendar calibration plus a cycle count. A tool with an expired date or a trace outside the released window comes off the station before the next vehicle, not at the end of the shift.
This procedure — and every other PM for your industry — is already built into ChatterFix. Pick your industry and it lands on the right equipment, on the right interval, in about three minutes.
