  • Patent number: 11396055
    Abstract: A reciprocating tool easily supplies a lubricant, such as grease (lubricating oil), to a mechanism for reciprocating a slider, and prevents a lack of lubricant. A reciprocating saw as a reciprocating tool includes a motor, a reciprocating conversion mechanism that converts rotation of the motor to reciprocation, a slider connected to the reciprocating conversion mechanism and being reciprocable, and a slider guide that supports the slider in a reciprocable manner and includes a lubricant-passage member in contact with the slider to allow passage of at least part of a lubricant through the lubricant-passage member, and a lubricant reservoir located adjacent to the lubricant-passage member to store the lubricant.
