Claim 13:
14. A method for configuring a power tool assembly comprising:
processing orientation data generated by at least one sensor with an electronic control unit, the at least one sensor configured to detect one or more orientations of the power tool assembly;
determining an orientation of the power tool assembly based on the orientation data;
automatically changing a tool configuration of the power tool assembly based on the determined orientation of the power tool assembly by selecting between at least a first tool configuration setting and a second tool configuration setting, the first tool configuration setting selected when the power tool assembly is determined to have a first orientation and the second tool configuration setting selected when the power tool assembly is determined to have a second orientation,
wherein the tool configuration is a torque to be applied to a fastener workpiece, the first tool configuration is a first torque setting to be applied to a first fastener workpiece having a first workpiece orientation and the second tool configuration is a second torque setting to be applied to a second fastener having a second workpiece orientation.
