# Tool Conversion

When converting a tool (for example, by changing the front part), you are required to update the tool information in order to reflect the changes made to the tool. For more information see ToolsTalk Service 2 User Edition user guide

WARNING

Risk of injury

Tool modifications, when not done properly, can cause bodily injury, damage to the tool, or produce undesired results, due to the altered characteristics of the tool.

- Check the tool's max torque after modification

When connected to ToolsTalk Service 2 you will not be prompted to change the tool information. To change the tool designation to match the tool conversion, perform the same steps as those for spare part replacements. Use the tool designation of the new part to update the tool.

Since the tool has been converted, the tool information stored on the tool will no longer match the tool designation on the tool sign.
