In an electric power tool that includes a housing extending in a longitudinal direction and accommodating a motor, a spindle driven by the motor and protruding downward from a front end of the housing, and a distal end tool coupled to an end of the spindle, a light-emitting diode (LED) capable of emitting light downward is provided in an upper part of a front of the housing. The LED is disposed rearward of a front end face of the housing in the longitudinal direction. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An electric power tool, comprising: a housing extending in a longitudinal direction; a motor accommodated in the housing; an output shaft that protrudes downward from a front end of the housing and that is driven by the motor; a distal end tool coupled to an end of the output shaft; and a lighting body provided in an upper part of a front of the housing and capable of configured to emit light downward. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The electric power tool according to claim 1, wherein the lighting body is disposed rearward of a front end face of the housing in the longitudinal direction. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The electric power tool according to claim 1, wherein an accommodating recess that is tilted obliquely downward toward the front of the housing so as to open downward is formed in the upper part of the front of the housing, and the lighting body is accommodated in the accommodating recess. ### Claim 4 (depends on 2) The electric power tool according to claim 2, wherein an accommodating recess that is tilted obliquely downward toward the front of the housing so as to open downward is formed in the upper part of the front of the housing so as to be located rearward of the front end face of the housing in the longitudinal direction, and the lighting body is accommodated in the accommodating recess. ### Claim 5 (depends on 3) The electric power tool according to claim 3, wherein the lighting body is a light-emitting diode. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The electric power tool according to claim 1, wherein a rotation operation portion configured to rotationally move the lighting body in a vertical direction is provided on the upper part of the front of the housing. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The electric power tool according to claim 6, wherein an operation protrusion is formed on an outer peripheral surface of the rotation operation portion. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The electric power tool according to claim 7, wherein an accommodating recess that opens on a front side to accommodate the lighting body is formed in the upper part of the front of the housing, and the rotation operation portion is fitted on a shaft member that rotatably supports the lighting body. ### Claim 9 (depends on 7) The electric power tool according to claim 7, wherein an accommodating recess that opens on a front side to accommodate the lighting body is formed in the upper part of the front of the housing so as to be located rearward of a front end face of the housing in the longitudinal direction of the housing, and the rotation operation portion is fitted on a shaft member that rotatably supports the lighting body. ### Claim 10 (depends on 8) The electric power tool according to claim 8, wherein the lighting body is a light-emitting diode unit having a light-emitting diode disposed therein. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The electric power tool according to claim 1, wherein the electric power tool is a reciprocating electric power tool that laterally reciprocates the output shaft by driving of the motor. ### Claim 12 (depends on 4) The electric power tool according to claim 4, wherein the lighting body is a light-emitting diode. ### Claim 13 (depends on 9) The electric power tool according to claim 9, wherein the lighting body is a light-emitting diode unit having a light-emitting diode disposed therein. ### Claim 14 A reciprocating electric power tool, comprising: a housing; a handle portion formed on an outer periphery of the housing; a motor accommodated in the housing; a switch provided on the housing; a first bearing and a second bearing supported in the housing; and a spindle supported by the first bearing and the second bearing and disposed forward of the motor, wherein the spindle reciprocates laterally about an axis, and the spindle is configured to hold a distal end tool in a lower part of the spindle, the reciprocating electric power tool further comprising a lighting body configured to emit light to the distal end tool. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The reciprocating electric power tool according to claim 14, wherein the housing is provided with a battery mount portion, a battery pack is configured to be attached to and detached from the battery mount portion, and the battery pack is configured to supply power to the motor and the lighting body. ### Claim 16 (depends on 14) The reciprocating electric power tool according to claim 14, wherein the lighting body is disposed above the spindle. ### Claim 17 (depends on 15) The reciprocating electric power tool according to claim 15, wherein the lighting body is disposed above the spindle. ### Claim 18 (depends on 14) The reciprocating electric power tool according to claim 14, wherein the lighting body is disposed forward of the first bearing. ### Claim 19 (depends on 14) The reciprocating electric power tool according to claim 14, wherein the lighting body is disposed below the switch. ### Claim 20 (depends on 14) The reciprocating electric power tool according to claim 14, wherein the spindle is configured to hold different kinds of distal end tools, and the lighting body is configured to pivot with respect to the housing.
