Portable electric pressing tool

A portable electric pressing tool comprising:

• an electric motor;
• a pressing mechanism operatively coupled to the electric motor, the pressing mechanism having a pair of jaws, a pair of rollers, and a driver wherein the driver causes the rollers to move against cam surfaces of the jaws in a direction towards the jaws to cause a pressing operation and the driver causes the rollers to move in a direction away from the jaws to during a reset stage of operation in which the driver is moved towards a home position;
• a home position sensor for generating output indicative that the driver has reached the home position during the reset stage of operation;
• and
• a controller for receiving motor turn information indicative of a number of turns of the electric motor and for controlling axial movement of the driver in use based only on the motor turn information and the output generated by the home position sensor.
