Reciprocating cutting tool

A reciprocating cutting tool, wherein the reciprocating cutting tool is operable in two working modes which includes a reciprocating saw mode and a jig saw mode;

• the reciprocating cutting tool comprising a housing a reciprocating mechanism, and an actuating mechanism and a cutter-lifting mechanism both disposed in the housing;
• the reciprocating mechanism comprises a reciprocating rod disposed in the housing, and the cutter-lifting mechanism comprises an actuating member and a pushing member, wherein the pushing member is disposed on the reciprocating rod;
• the actuating member comprises a first engaging portion and a second engaging portion for engaging with the pushing member respectively;
• when the reciprocating rod is driven to perform a reciprocating motion relative to the housing by the actuating mechanism, the reciprocating rod under a cutting force drives the pushing member to deflect in a first direction close to one of the first engaging portion or the second engaging portion;
• and when the one of the first engaging portion or the second engaging portion is driven to move toward the pushing member by the actuating mechanism, the one of the first engaging portion or the second engaging portion pushes the pushing member to deflect in a second, opposite direction to force the reciprocating rod to implement a cutter-lifting motion.
