Abstract
A reciprocating power tool includes a motor operatively connected with a drive assembly for driving a reciprocating shaft, on which a working tool is supported. The reciprocating power tool includes a base so that the tool may stand upright when resting upon the base without the use of external supports. A counterweight positioned inside of the drive housing minimizes vibration. The motor is preferably positioned so that its rotational axis is angled with respect to a longitudinal axis of the reciprocating shaft. This configuration of the motor produces a compact configuration for a reciprocating power tool and helps the tool stand upright upon the base of the tool. A battery may be provided in a cordless embodiment and is advantageously positioned for balancing the tool.
