Cutting tool

A cutting tool comprising:

• a tool main body including:
• an output shaft configured to be capable of mounting a cutting blade there to, wherein the output shaft protrudes from a front end of the tool main body;
• an electric motor configured to rotatably drive a motor shaft with a supply of power from a rechargeable battery,
• a reciprocation converting mechanism configured to convert the rotation of the motor shaft to a reciprocating motion of the output shaft in a front-to-rear direction, so that the cutting blade mounted to the output shaft cuts a workpiece as the output shaft reciprocates;
• and
• a housing forming an outer casing of the tool main body and including two battery attachment portions each allowing attachment of the rechargeable battery;
• wherein the housing comprises:
• a motor housing configured to support the electric motor;
• and
• a grip housing disposed on a rear side of the motor housing and including a handle portion to be grasped by hand;
• wherein at least one battery attachment portion of the two battery attachment portions is arranged at the motor housing.

• a housing forming an outer casing of the tool main body and including at least one battery attachment portion allowing attachment of the rechargeable battery;
• wherein an arrangement position of the at least one battery attachment portion is set to a position opposite to a position of a center of gravity of the tool main body with the rechargeable battery detached therefrom, with respect to a reciprocating axis along which the output shaft reciprocates.
