A reciprocating saw includes a housing defining a motor housing portion, and a motor positioned in the motor housing portion, the motor having a motor output shaft defining a rotational axis, and a motor activation switch within the motor housing portion and adjacent the motor. The reciprocating saw also includes a transmission is positioned downstream of the motor and has a sawbar connectable to a saw blade. The transmission converts a rotational input provided by the motor shaft to a reciprocating output of the sawbar along a reciprocating axis that is either coaxial or parallel with the rotational axis.

Provided are a saw handle and a saw provided with the saw handle, wherein the saw handle can be produced easily and efficiently at a low production cost even in different lengths, is easy for a user to use, enables an extended service life, and allows the user to change the design or replace worn-out parts by himself/herself. The saw handle 10, used with a saw blade 20 mounted on its distal end, includes a handle body 11 and a mounted body 12 mounted on the handle body 11, wherein the handle body 11 has its wide range in the longitudinal direction divided into a plurality of unit compartments K, the mounted body 12 is composed of a plurality of unit mounted bodies 12 to be mounted on the plurality of unit compartments K, respectively, and the plurality of unit mounted bodies 12 are detachably attached correspondingly to the plurality of unit compartments K of the handle body 11.

A saw system capable of cutting through a workpiece in one stroke is provided. The saw system includes a base, a turntable mounted on the base for rotation about a vertical axis, a support structure defining a cutting axis and fixedly attached to the turntable, and an elongated blade including a cutting edge. The turntable has a substantially planar support surface for supporting a workpiece. The support structure includes a pair of parallel sliding members having proximal and distal ends. The saw system further includes a handle assembly coupled with a bearing member, which is mechanically engaged with the sliding members, and an elongated blade fixedly attached to the bearing member. The elongated blade includes a serrated cutting edge that is acutely angled relative to the support surface.

The disclosure relates to a handheld work apparatus, wherein the work apparatus includes a housing, a drive motor for driving a tool, and a handle disposed on the housing. A contour is provided on the handle and a counter contour is provided on the housing. In the inoperative position of the handle, a minimum friction torque (M.sub.1) which acts about the pivot axis is provided between the handle and the housing. In the operative position of the handle, the contour and the counter contour are operatively connected in such a manner that a further friction torque (M.sub.2) which acts about the pivot axis is present between the handle and the housing. The further friction torque (M.sub.2) in the operative position is greater than the minimum friction torque (M.sub.1) in the inoperative position.
