An accessory for an oscillating power tool includes an anchor for selectively coupling with an oscillating power tool. The anchor includes a generally planar portion having an anchor interface configured to couple to the oscillating power tool and defining a longitudinal axis and a center point. The anchor interface includes a central aperture and a plurality of peripheral openings. The central aperture includes the center point therein. The plurality of peripheral openings are disposed radially about the center point and in communication with the central aperture. The plurality of peripheral openings also includes at least one conjoined group of peripheral openings collectively in communication with the central aperture by way of a shared neck opening. The at least one conjoined group includes a first peripheral opening, a second peripheral opening, and a third peripheral opening.

A reciprocating saw blade mounting device includes a reciprocating rod, a clamping mechanism and an ejection mechanism. The reciprocating rod is provided with a clamping cavity. The clamping mechanism includes a clamping member and a positioning member which are disposed opposite to each other. The clamping member can move such that the reciprocating saw blade mounting device switches between a clamping state and a released state. The ejection mechanism includes a pressing block and a first elastic member. When the reciprocating saw blade mounting device is in the released state, the pressing block is elastically pressed between the clamping member and the positioning member by the first elastic member. When the reciprocating saw blade mounting device is in the clamping state, the pressing block is pressed out from between the clamping member and the positioning member by the clamping end and compresses the first elastic member.

Tool fitting device for a power tool, in particular a chipping hammer, including—a holding device for receiving and holding a tool shank, a retention element extending at least around a section or sections of the holding device, and a dust protection device for preventing the penetration of dust into the tool fitting device. The dust protection device includes at least one first dust stripping element, at least one fixing bead, and at least one sealing lip element, wherein the sealing lip element is positioned in front of the retention element in the axial direction. Dust protection device for use in a tool fitting device.

A method of assembling a gearcase cover assembly of a reciprocating saw. The method includes providing a gearcase cover with a cylindrical opening and a receiving portion, providing a shaft with a yoke affixed to the shaft, inserting a first end of the shaft into the cylindrical opening and rotating the shaft such that a second end of the shaft sits in the receiving portion.

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.

An accessory for use with an oscillating power tool. The accessory includes an attachment portion including a mounting aperture arrangement configured to couple with the oscillating power tool. The accessory also includes a body extending away from the attachment portion in a longitudinal direction defining a longitudinal axis, a distal end portion including a generally planar surface and a cutting edge configured to perform a material-removing operation, and a conduit extending from proximate the cutting edge towards the attachment portion. The conduit is configured to convey material removed during the material-removing operation towards a vacuum system.

A work tool includes a housing, a spindle, a clamp shaft, a biasing member, an operation member, a motion-converting mechanism and a pushing-down member. The spindle is supported to be rotatable around a driving axis. The clamp shaft is movable in the up-down direction relative to the spindle. The biasing member is configured to bias the clamp shaft upward relative to the spindle so as to apply to the clamp shaft a clamping force for clamping a tool accessory between a head part of the clamp shaft and a lower end portion of the spindle. The motion-converting mechanism is configured to move the pushing-down member in the up-down direction along with turning of the operation member around the driving axis. The pushing-down member is configured to be moved downward so as to push the tool accessory downward when the operation member is turned in a first direction.
