  "abstract": "A blind rivet nut-setting tool includes an output shaft, an input device for adjusting an operating mode, a distance-setting device, a motor coupled to the output shaft, a position sensor for detecting a position of the motor, and a controller. The distance-setting device, the motor, the position sensor, and the controller are configured to receive, from the input device, an input indicative of the operating mode, determine the tool is in a distance-based operating mode, determine a value of the distance-setting device, determine a pulling distance based on the value of the distance-setting device, operate the motor to actuate the output shaft, compare the number of rotations of the motor to a rotation threshold that corresponds to the distance to pull the rivet nut, and stop, in response to the number of rotations of the motor being greater than or equal to the rotation threshold.",
