Abstract
A reciprocating saw includes a housing including a handle defining a handle axis extending centrally through the handle from a first end to a second end of the handle, a battery receptacle located adjacent the second end of the handle, a battery insertable into and removable from the battery receptacle along a battery axis, a motor powered by the battery and including a motor shaft rotatable about a motor axis, and a spindle configured to reciprocate along a spindle axis in response to rotation of the motor shaft. The spindle axis is parallel to the motor axis.
