Machine tool that can be guided manually and having a housing

A handheld oscillation machine tool comprising:

• an outer housing (12) extending essentially along a longitudinal axis and having a gripping region (21) which is provided for engaging and for guiding the machine tool (10) by means of a hand of a user;
• an electric drive unit (14) essentially accommodated in this outer housing (12) and rotatively driving a driveshaft of the machine tool (10), wherein the axis of rotation of the driveshaft is essentially aligned parallel to the longitudinal axis (11) of the outer housing (12) or coincides with said longitudinal axis;
• and
• a tool arrangement (15), which is arranged at a first end portion (3) of the outer housing (12);
• wherein the electric drive unit (14) and the tool arrangement (15) are essentially mechanically decoupled from the outer housing (12);
• and
• the outer housing (12) has a mass center (27) arranged along the longitudinal axis (11) in a section essentially extending from the geometric center (29) of the outer housing (12) into a direction remote from the first end portion with respect to the length of the outer housing (12).
