A power tool including a housing having a handle configured to be grasped by a user, a motor supported by the housing, a driving gear rotated by the motor, and a driven gear engaging the driving gear to be rotated by the driving gear about a rotation axis. The power tool also includes a pin extending from the driven gear and offset from the rotation axis and a spindle having a yoke coupled to the pin to translate rotation of the driven gear into reciprocating motion of the spindle. A notch is formed in an outer periphery of the yoke to provide clearance for the driving gear as the spindle is driven by the pin.

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.

A hacksaw includes a handle defining a pocket shaped to receive a hacksaw blade without a tang and a reciprocating blade that having a tang and a hole. The hacksaw further includes a support arm extending from the handle and a clamp mechanism coupled to the support arm and configured to hold the hacksaw blade or the reciprocating blade depending on which blade is coupled to the handle.

A handsaw contains a blade and a handle, in which a cavity is made for inserting a marking pencil into it for the purpose of operative use thereof while in operation. The said cavity is provided with a bushing of resilient material to fix the pencil inside wherein the outlet opening of the bushing is smaller than its inlet opening. The presence of such a bushing of resilient material, tightly enclosing the body of the pencil allows the pencil to fix in the handle. In addition, it prevents the falling the shortened pencil inside the said cavity in the handle of the handsaw. It allows the pencil to use until it reaches the least possible length.
