A reciprocating saw serving as reciprocating tool is equipped with a motor, a drive transmission mechanism that converts rotation of the motor into reciprocating motion, a rod that is connected to the drive transmission mechanism and that engages in reciprocating motion, and an upper roller and a lower roller that are capable of rolling and that have depressed portions that are capable of coming in contact with the rod, wherein the cross-section of the rod has no corners, and the depressed portions of the upper roller and the lower roller have hourglass-like profiles.

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.
