A power tool, comprising:
- a housing;
- a motor in the housing;
- a clamp assembly operatively driven by the motor in an oscillating motion about an oscillating axis, the clamp assembly comprising a first blade clamp and a second blade clamp opposing the first blade clamp, the clamp assembly configured to selectively hold a power tool accessory between the first blade clamp and the second blade clamp;
- a yoke operatively coupled to the second blade clamp and configured to move the second blade clamp relative to the first blade clamp;
- a clamp actuator connected to the yoke and configured to drive the yoke;
- a headbox;
- an output spindle at least partially disposed in the headbox;
- wherein the yoke extends along a first side of the headbox and a second side of the headbox opposite the first side of the headbox.
