Pex expansion tool

An expansion tool comprising:

• a housing;
• a motor supported by the housing and including a motor shaft;
• a mandrel;
• a transmission having an input member configured to receive a rotational input from the motor shaft and an output member rotatable in response to rotation of the input member;
• and
• a drive mechanism configured to convert rotation of the output member into translational movement of the mandrel,
• wherein the transmission is configured to provide a first gear ratio from the input member to the output member in response to rotation of the motor shaft in a first direction, and
• wherein the transmission is configured to provide a second gear ratio from the input member to the output member in response to rotation of the motor shaft in a second direction opposite the first direction, the second gear ratio being different than the first gear ratio.

A tubing expansion system comprising:

• an expansion tool including a reader;
• a first head selectively attachable to the expansion tool and including a first identifier, the first head configured for expanding PEX tubing to a first diameter;
• and
• a second head selectively attachable to the expansion tool and including a second identifier, the second head configured for expanding PEX tubing to a second diameter different than the first diameter,
• wherein the reader is configured to receive first identifying information from the first identifier when the first head is attached to the expansion tool, and
• wherein the reader is configured to receive second identifying information from the second identifier when the second head is alternatively attached to the expansion tool.
