A handle assembly for a power tool is disclosed, in which the power tool has a housing, a motor provided in the housing, an output shaft adapted to be caused by the motor to execute reciprocating motion, and a blade assembly (5) extending from the housing along a first axis (A-A). The handle assembly comprises a front handle (6), a rear handle (7) integral with the front handle and a mounting portion adapted to be mounted to the housing of the tool, wherein the rear handle is displaced from the plane of the blade assembly in use. As a result of this, the knuckles of the hand of the user that is gripping rear handle are raised away from the surface of the object being cut. This provides the advantages that the user's knuckles avoid any grazing or cutting resulting from contact with the object, or with the ground when carrying out low cutting.
