Abstract
A blade clamp assembly has a housing and a clamping lever to hold a blade for a reciprocating saw. The clamping lever rotates about a pin within a cavity formed in the housing. The clamping lever includes a body portion having a cam face and a handle portion integrally formed with the body portion and extending from the trailing portion of the cam face. As assembled, the handle portion extends slightly out from the edge of the housing. A plate is provided between the cam face of the clamping lever and the floor of the cavity. A torsion spring is provided to bias the cam face against the plate to hold a blade by the assembly. The handle portion is used to overcome the torsion spring.
