Abstract

An expansion tool includes a housing, a motor supported by the housing and including a motor, a mandrel, and a drive mechanism configured to convert a rotational input from a motor shaft into translational movement of the mandrel. The expansion tool includes a first operating mode and a second operating mode. When the expansion tool is operated in the first operating mode, the drive mechanism is configured to reciprocate the mandrel between a retracted position and a first extended position. When the expansion tool is operated in the second operating mode, the drive mechanism is configured to reciprocate the mandrel between the retracted position and a second extended position different than the first extended position.
