A long rod grinding machine reduces the likelihood of dust escaping and falling. The long rod grinding machine includes a head and a rod having an end connected to the head and extending in a front-rear direction. The head includes an electric motor, a pad movable with a driving force from the electric motor, a vertical wall surrounding a radially outer edge of the pad, and a contact member located between the vertical wall and the pad and surrounding the radially outer edge of the pad. The contact member includes a brush holder having one or more through-holes extending in a radial direction of the pad, and a brush located below the brush holder and having a lower end located downward from a lower end of the vertical wall.

Portable electric sander

A jigsaw includes a jigsaw main body, a handle, and a battery. The jigsaw main body includes a housing, a motor disposed inside the housing, and a battery mounting portion having a first mounting surface facing downward. The handle is disposed at an upper portion of the jigsaw main body and above the motor. The battery has a second mounting surface and supplies the motor with an electric power. The battery is slidable along the first mounting surface and mountable to the battery mounting portion with the first and second mounting surfaces facing each other.

Jigsaw

A jigsaw includes a main body having a grasping part configured to be grasped by a user, a blade projecting downwardly from a front part of the main body and configured to reciprocate up and down, and a base coupled to a lower part of the main body and configured to make contact with a workpiece. A rear end of a contact surface that is configured to make contact with the workpiece is located at a position that coincides with or is rearward of the rear end of the grasping part.

A jigsaw includes a motor, a rod having a blade attached thereto, a power transmission portion that converts rotation transmitted from the motor to vertical movement of the rod to vertically move the blade, and a counterweight that moves vertically in a direction of the vertical movement of the rod outside a range of the vertical, movement of the rod and the blade. At least a part of the counterweight is disposed so as to cross an extended line of a trajectory of the vertical movement of the rod. The counterweight moves vertically independently of the vertical movement of the rod which is produced by the power transmission portion.

Reciprocating cutting tool

A sander is of a palm type, and its upper portion is configured as a holding portion. A battery attachment portion to which a battery having an elongated shape is attachable is oriented at an angle not less than 0 degrees with respect to a vertical direction, such that if a longitudinal direction of the battery is angled, a lower portion of the battery is in a position shifted inward farther than an upper portion of the battery.

Sander having battery pack

A sander includes an upper portion configured as a holding portion, and side peripheral portions. At least one constriction is formed in the side peripheral portions in such a manner as to be sunk into the side peripheral portions. The constriction is configured to be dent with respect to the holding portion.
