A method for deploying an expandable tool in a subterranean well , the method comprising: lowering the expandable tool in a contracted state into the subterranean well , the expandable tool including a tool frame located at a frame end of the expandable tool that is movable between a frame contracted position and a frame extended position, and a plurality of tool segments spaced around a central axis (Ax) of the expandable tool , the plurality of tool segments including a plurality of moveable tool segments and a plurality of stationary tool segments where each of the plurality of moveable tool segments are moveably linked to at least one of the plurality of stationary tool segments and each of the plurality of stationary tool segments is fastened to the tool frame , the expandable tool further including a free end opposite the frame end of the expandable tool , and where in the contracted state the plurality of moveable tool segments are axially aligned with the plurality of stationary tool segments ; increasing an outer diameter of the expandable tool by moving the tool frame from the frame contracted position to the frame extended position, moving the plurality of tool segments radially outward, until the expandable tool is in an expanded state; rotating the free end of the expandable tool about the central axis (Ax) when the expandable tool is in an expanded state so that the plurality of moveable tool segments rotate relative to the tool frame and the plurality of stationary tool segments remain fixed relative to the tool frame , until the expandable tool is in a fully rotated state; and applying an axial force to the free end of the expandable tool so that the plurality of moveable tool segments move axially relative to the tool frame and an axial length of the expandable tool is reduced, until the expandable tool is in a final state, wherein in the final state the plurality of moveable tool segments are circumferentially aligned with the plurality of stationary tool segments . lowering the expandable tool in a contracted state into the subterranean well , the expandable tool including a tool frame located at a frame end of the expandable tool that is movable between a frame contracted position and a frame extended position, and a plurality of tool segments spaced around a central axis (Ax) of the expandable tool , the plurality of tool segments including a plurality of moveable tool segments and a plurality of stationary tool segments where each of the plurality of moveable tool segments are moveably linked to at least one of the plurality of stationary tool segments and each of the plurality of stationary tool segments is fastened to the tool frame , the expandable tool further including a free end opposite the frame end of the expandable tool , and where in the contracted state the plurality of moveable tool segments are axially aligned with the plurality of stationary tool segments ; increasing an outer diameter of the expandable tool by moving the tool frame from the frame contracted position to the frame extended position, moving the plurality of tool segments radially outward, until the expandable tool is in an expanded state; rotating the free end of the expandable tool about the central axis (Ax) when the expandable tool is in an expanded state so that the plurality of moveable tool segments rotate relative to the tool frame and the plurality of stationary tool segments remain fixed relative to the tool frame , until the expandable tool is in a fully rotated state; and applying an axial force to the free end of the expandable tool so that the plurality of moveable tool segments move axially relative to the tool frame and an axial length of the expandable tool is reduced, until the expandable tool is in a final state, wherein in the final state the plurality of moveable tool segments are circumferentially aligned with the plurality of stationary tool segments . <EOS>
