A tool for bundling a plurality of elongate articles using a tape includes a drive assembly in communicable connection with a motor assembly. The motor assembly can include a motor and a gear train including a drive axle, a first gear, a second gear oriented to rotate around the drive axle, wherein the second gear is positioned to engage with the first gear, and a compliant member coupled to the second gear and oriented along the drive axle. The drive block of the drive assembly can be driven by the second gear of the motor assembly via the drive pin to engage and move the tape through the tool in a first direction, and by the second gear of the motor assembly via the compliant member to engage and move the tape through the tool in a second direction opposite the first direction.
