A metal wire may be provided inside a hanger portion extending with an annular shape and which is integrally formed with an outer casing. An electric power tool may be prevented from falling, etc. due to deformation or breakage of the hanger portion by being reinforced by the wire.

A reciprocating saw includes a housing, a motor, and a drive mechanism. The drive mechanism includes a driven gear that is rotated by the motor. The driven gear is vertically-oriented within the housing. The drive mechanism also includes a drive arm coupled to the driven gear to translate rotary motion of the driven gear into reciprocating motion, and an output shaft coupled to the drive arm to reciprocate relative to the housing along a spindle axis through a cutting stroke and a return stroke. The drive mechanism further includes a counterweight coupled to the driven gear and rotating with the driven gear through a path and in a same direction. As the counterweight moves through a rearward half of the path, the counterweight generally moves in an upward direction, and as the counterweight moves through a forward half of the path, the counterweight generally moves in a downward direction.

A reciprocating cutting tool allows a more stable operation. A reciprocating saw includes a motor extending vertically, a reciprocating transmitter located below the motor, a slider extending in a front-rear direction, connected to the reciprocation transmitter, and movable in the front-rear direction, a power housing holding the motor and the reciprocation transmitter, a grip housing extending rearward from the power housing, a battery housing located behind the grip housing, and a connecting housing located below the grip housing and connecting the power housing to the battery housing.

A reciprocating tool includes a motor, a reciprocating member, and a crank mechanism. The motor is disposed in a housing. The reciprocating member projects from the housing. The crank mechanism converts rotation of a rotation shaft of the motor into reciprocation of the reciprocating member. The crank mechanism rotates around an axis in a lateral direction by rotation transmission from the rotation shaft, and the crank mechanism includes a crank member having an eccentric pin, a connecting rod coupling the eccentric pin to the reciprocating member, and a balancer coupled to the eccentric pin, and the balancer is supported by the eccentric pin alone in the housing.

A reciprocating cutting tool is provided, wherein the tool has a reciprocating saw mode and a jig saw mode. The tool includes a reciprocating mechanism; an actuating mechanism and a cutter-lifting mechanism. The reciprocating mechanism includes a reciprocating rod and the cutter-lifting mechanism includes an actuating member and a pushing member. The actuating member includes a first engaging portion and a second engaging portion when the reciprocating rod is driven to perform a reciprocating motion, the reciprocating rod drives the pushing member to deflect close to the first engaging portion or second engaging portion; when the first engaging portion or the second engaging portion is driven to move close to the pushing member, the first engaging portion or second engaging portion pushes the pushing member towards the side which the first engaging portion or the second engaging portion deflects to force the reciprocating rod to implement a cutter-lifting motion.

A suction device for a portable handheld power saw (10), wherein: the handheld power saw has a housing (17) in which a drive motor (11) is arranged and has a tool holder (14), which can be driven to linearly oscillate along an axis of movement (SO) by the drive motor (11), for a sawing tool (15) having an elongate design and extending along a longitudinal axis for making a saw cut in a workpiece (W). The suction device (30) has at least one guide contour (55) which, when the suction device is mounted on the handheld power saw, protrudes in front of the machine guide surface (23) such that the handheld power saw can be guided on the workpiece by means of the at least one guide contour (55) instead of the machine guide surface.

A reciprocating saw includes a housing, a motor positioned within the housing, the motor including a pinion rotatable about a motor axis, and a drive mechanism positioned within the housing and coupled to the motor. The drive mechanism includes a driven gear that engages the pinion and is rotated by the motor, and an output shaft driven by the motor to reciprocate relative to the housing. The output shaft is configured to support a tool element adjacent a forward portion of the housing. The drive mechanism includes a first counterweight coupled to the driven gear for rotation with the driven gear about a rotational axis, and a second counterweight spaced apart from the first counterweight and integrally formed with the driven gear. The first counterweight and the second counterweight are driven by the motor to rotate relative to the housing along a path.

A reciprocating saw includes a housing, a motor positioned within the housing, and a shoe coupled to the housing. The shoe is configured to engage a workpiece. The reciprocating saw also includes a proximity sensor configured to detect the workpiece when engaged with the shoe. In response to the proximity sensor detecting formation of a gap between the shoe and the workpiece, the proximity sensor is operable to deactivate the motor.
