According to various embodiments, a reciprocating saw drill bit is disclosed. The reciprocating saw drill bit includes a spindle with a first axis of rotation, a portion of the spindle defining a cylindrical section having a second axis, where the second axis is not parallel to the first axis. The reciprocating saw drill bit further includes a swashplate having a hole from a first surface of the swashplate to a second surface of the swashplate and a spherical portion having a center point positioned at a fixed distance normal to a centerline of the hole, the hole having an inner surface adapted to fit around an outer surface of the cylindrical section of the spindle. The reciprocating saw drill bit additionally includes a connecting rod, adapted to slide through at least one bushing, the connecting rod having a first end and a second end, the first end of the connecting rod being adapted to connect to the spherical portion of the swashplate via a ball-and-socket/slider joint hybrid, the second end adapted to connect to a removable blade.

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 power tool 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 and has an upper portion and a lower portion. The drive mechanism also includes a connecting rod coupled to the driven gear to translate rotary motion of the driven gear into reciprocating motion, and an output shaft coupled to the connecting rod to reciprocate relative to the housing through a cutting stroke and a return stroke. The drive mechanism further includes a counterweight coupled to the driven gear for rotation with the driven gear. The counterweight moves through the upper portion of the driven gear during the cutting stroke of the output shaft, and moves through the lower portion of the driven gear during a return stroke of the output shaft.

Some embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a blade. In some embodiments, the blade is configured to produce 50% to 99.9% less residual dust than a comparative blade when the blade is used to cut at least one foam board, where the comparative blade is identical to the blade, except that the comparative blade does not comprise any notches. Methods of using and making the blade and systems that include the blade are also described.

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 modified blade or knife that fits into a utility knife for cutting metal, wood, carpet and other materials. The blade or knife uses the utility knife body as a handle for easy, quick changing of multiple cutting edges to handle jobs that require a small tool in tight spaces without the need for power. The blades come in many common styles, fine tooth for metal, rough teeth for wood and sharp rounded blades for materials like carpet.

A reciprocating tool easily supplies a lubricant, such as grease (lubricating oil), to a mechanism for reciprocating a slider, and prevents a lack of lubricant. A reciprocating saw as a reciprocating tool includes a motor, a reciprocating conversion mechanism that converts rotation of the motor to reciprocation, a slider connected to the reciprocating conversion mechanism and being reciprocable, and a slider guide that supports the slider in a reciprocable manner and includes a lubricant-passage member in contact with the slider to allow passage of at least part of a lubricant through the lubricant-passage member, and a lubricant reservoir located adjacent to the lubricant-passage member to store the lubricant.
