Abstract: A sander may include a housing, a motor, a sanding platen, and a two-piece fan. The motor may be disposed within the housing and may include an output shaft. The sanding platen may be driven by the motor for movement relative to the housing. The fan may be driven by the motor and may include a first piece formed from a first material and a second piece formed from a second material. The first piece may include a disk-shaped body having first and second opposite sides. The first side may include a plurality of first blades extending therefrom. The second side may include a plurality of second blades extending therefrom and a recess formed therein. The second piece may be received in the recess and may include a counterweight boss formed thereon.

Abstract: A reciprocating saw includes a carrier operable to cooperate with a motor to translate rotational movement of the motor into reciprocal linear actuation of a saw blade. A carrier is slidably disposed within the housing and includes a first portion adapted to receive a saw blade and a second portion having a slot therethrough. A rotatable element is fixed for rotation about an output shaft of the motor. A follower operably interconnects the carrier and the rotatable element wherein rotation of the rotatable element provides reciprocal linear motion of the carrier whereby the follower follows a reciprocal linear path within the slot.
