Abstract
The reciprocating saw has a main body, a support member, a guide shoe, a locking member and an engaging member. The support member can be slid relative to the main body. The guide shoe is attached to an anterior end of the support member. The locking member can be switched between a state allowing the support member to be slid relative to the main body and a state not allowing the sliding. The engaging member is energized towards the support member. The engaging member and the support member engage or release their engagement, while the support member is being slid relative to the main body across a location allowing locking and a location not allowing locking.

A reciprocating saw comprising:
- a main body;
- a support member attached to the main body in a manner of allowing sliding relative to the main body;
- wherein a plurality of concave locking parts is formed in the support member along a sliding direction in which the support member slides;
- a guide shoe attached to an anterior end of the support member;
- a locking member being able to engage with any one of the concave locking parts of the support member and prevent the support member from sliding relative to the main body;
- and
- an engaging member, wherein the location of the engaging member is restricted by the main body, the engaging member is energized towards the support member, and while in direct contact with the support member the engaging member engages with and releases its engagement with the support member in conjunction with the sliding of the support member relative to the main body across a location allowing locking and a location not allowing locking.
