Abstract: An air filtration unit for use in a work environment includes a housing disposed with an air filtration system and light source. The housing includes a handle and corner caps to prevent damage and provide stability. The air filtration system draws air into the housing, via a blower, through a first and second inlet gate, the air is at least partially filtered by a first and second filter assembly, which provide a two stage filtering, and then the at least partially filtered air is blown through an exhaust conduit back out into the work environment.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a reciprocating saw including a rotating handle. In embodiments of the invention a reciprocating saw includes a motor housing for containing a motor. A linkage is disposed in the motor housing for linearly reciprocating a straight cutting blade connected to the linkage. A rotating handle is pivotally coupled adjacent an end generally opposite the straight blade. Preferably, the handle is a generally D-shaped handle coupled via a series of interlocking ribs/grooves which may be included on the motor housing, on a connector mounted to the motor housing, or the like. Additionally, a securing mechanism is included for locking the handle in predefined orientations with respect to the motor housing.
