1. An articulating power tool comprising:
a housing; a motor located in the housing, the motor including a drive shaft configured for rotation about a first pivot axis; an actuator operatively coupled to the drive shaft configured to convert the rotation of the drive shaft to a side to side oscillation; a tool holder coupled to the actuator and configured to move in response to movement of the actuator; and an articulator operatively coupled to the housing at a second pivot axis substantially perpendicular to the first pivot axis and about which the articulator rotates, the articulator being operatively coupled to the tool holder at a third pivot axis substantially parallel to the second pivot axis and about which the tool holder is configured to rotate, the articulator configured to adjust the tool holder through a range of positions.
