A reciprocating saw comprises a housing, a blade assembly, a reciprocating rod assembly, a driving assembly and an operation mechanism. The blade assembly extends forward from one side of the housing, and comprises a positioning structure. The reciprocating rod assembly is detachably connected with the blade assembly and comprises a blade fixing structure and an unlocking component matched with the positioning structures. The driving assembly is accommodated in the housing, and drives the reciprocating rod assembly to drive the blade assembly to perform reciprocating motion. The operation mechanism is installed on the housing and moves between a locking position and an unlocking position and comprises an operation button, a drive cam matched with the unlocking components and an elastic reset component for resetting the operation button.

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.

A saw 10 has a handle 11 and a blade 12 projecting from the handle. The blade 12 has an edge 14 along which a plurality of saw teeth 15 project. The saw 10 further includes a flexible and retractable saw guard 20 which is connected to the saw 10 and which is retractable from a guard position in which the saw guard 20 overlies the saw teeth 14 and a retracted position in which the saw teeth 14 are exposed.

A jigsaw that uses a cutting blade generally includes a housing containing a motor activated by a trigger assembly. A blade storage compartment is recessed in the housing. A platform is provided in the blade storage compartment having a first edge that at least partially defines a first recess that extends further into the housing beyond the platform. A member is connected to the platform that produces a magnetic field that releasably secures the cutting blade to the platform. The magnetic field is configured to permit a user to tilt the cutting blade about the first edge of the platform into the first recess to overcome the magnetic field and remove the cutting blade from the storage compartment.

A reciprocating saw includes a housing, a motor positioned within the housing and configured to drive a reciprocating saw blade, 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. The proximity sensor is positioned on a forward end of the housing in a facing relation with the workpiece. 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.
