A percussive therapy device that includes a housing, an electrical source, a motor positioned in the housing, a switch for activating the motor, a push rod assembly operatively connected to the motor and configured to provide reciprocating motion in response to activation of the motor, and a massage attachment secured to a distal end of the push rod assembly. The reciprocating motion of the push rod assembly has a user-adjustable amplitude.

A reciprocating power tool may include a driving system including a motor and a transmission received in a housing to drive a reciprocating mechanism. A counterbalance mechanism may be coupled between the driving system and the reciprocating mechanism. The counterbalance mechanism may include a rotating counterbalance mechanism including a first rotating counterweight member and a second rotating counterweight member coupled to an output gear of the driving system. The counterbalance mechanism may include a rocking counterweight member coupled between the output gear and the housing. The output gear may include a recessed portion in which the first rotating counterweight member and a clutching system are received.

A reciprocating power tool may include a driving system including a motor and a transmission received in a housing to drive a reciprocating mechanism. A selection mechanism may provide for selection of an operation mode of the reciprocating tool, including a linear mode of operation and at least one orbital mode of operation. Motion of a reciprocating shaft of the reciprocating mechanism may be guided by a guide bracket that is fixed in the housing and an orbit bushing that is movably coupled in the housing. In the linear mode of operation of the tool, the bushing is in a first position relative to the guide bracket. In an orbital mode of operation of the tool, the bushing is moved to a second position relative to the guide bracket.

Disclosed is a cutting apparatus and method of cutting an insulative material. Said insulative material may be either flexible or rigid in nature. The insulative material is cut via a passive cutting wheel driven across a platen and engaged to a stationary drive belt about the passive cutting wheel axis. Engagement of the stationary drive belt with the passive cutting wheel axis results in a turning of the passive cutting wheel.

A reciprocating power tool may include a driving system driving a reciprocating mechanism. A selection mechanism provides for selection of a linear mode of operation or at least one orbital mode of operation. Motion of a reciprocating shaft of the reciprocating mechanism may be guided by a guide bracket fixed in the housing and an orbit bushing movably coupled in the housing. The guide bracket may include at least one guide slot having a contoured guide surface that guides the motion of the corresponding end portion of the reciprocating shaft. The contoured guide surface may guide the corresponding end portion of the reciprocating shaft in a corresponding direction relative to the longitudinal centerline of the at least one guide slot during an out stroke and a return stroke of the reciprocating stroke.

Systems and methods for configuring a power tool. One system includes a power tool communication system that includes an external device and a power tool. The external device includes a user interface configured to receive a first selection to enable a feature of a power tool, and receive a second selection of a threshold of a motor characteristic of the power tool. The power tool includes a motor within a housing. The power tool receives the selected feature and the selected threshold from the external device. The power tool includes a sensor configured to monitor the motor characteristic of the motor. The power tool further includes an electronic processor that controls the motor to operate according to the selected feature and adjusts an operating parameter of the motor when the motor characteristic is determined to cross the selected threshold.

A percussive massage device that includes a housing, an electrical source, a motor positioned in the housing, a switch for activating the motor, and a push rod assembly operatively connected to the motor and configured to reciprocate in response to activation of the motor. The housing includes first, second and third handle portions that cooperate to define a handle opening, wherein the first handle portion defines a first axis, the second handle portion defines a second axis and the third handle portion defines a third axis, and wherein the first, second and third axes cooperate to form a triangle.

A jigsaw including a housing, a handle extending transverse from the housing in a direction of a handle axis, a battery selectively coupled to the handle, a foot plate coupled to the housing and configured to contact a workpiece, and a drive assembly powered by the battery. The drive assembly includes a motor, a fan, a transmission driven by the motor, and an output spindle driven by the transmission and coupled to a cutting blade. The jigsaw also includes a frame supported within the housing which supports the motor and the transmission. The frame includes a shroud surrounding at least a portion of the fan and an air chute in fluid communication with the shroud that together direct an airflow produced by the fan toward a cutting area adjacent the cutting blade. The jigsaw also includes a baffle that is selectively moveable into the air chute to redirect the airflow away from the cutting blade.
