Abstract
A reciprocating saw including an outer housing positioned along a longitudinal axis of the reciprocating saw. The reciprocating saw also includes a motor casing covering a portion of a motor, and a gear casing positioned within the outer housing and coupled to the motor casing. A rib is formed on either one of the gear casing and the outer housing, and the rib extends substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis. In addition, a window is formed in either one of the outer housing and the motor casing. The rib forms an egress path between the gear casing and the outer housing in communication with the window.
