A reciprocating saw (10) includes a housing (12) having an upper surface and a side surface, and a blade holder (28) supported on the end of a reciprocating saw bar (24). The blade holder (28) is adapted to support a saw blade (30) such that the resulting cutting plane lies outboard of one of the housing's (12) surfaces, while a reference plane (40a,40b), orthogonal to the cutting plane and intersecting a cutting edge of the blade (30), lies outboard of the other of the housing's (12) surfaces. Preferably, each surface includes a flat, and the blade's (30) cutting edge is supported proximate to an intersection of the planar extensions of the flats. Claims of this application are directed at a wobble drive assembly (not shown) including a single wobble plate with an integral counterweight which is stated to advantageously permit a relatively outboard position of the saw bar (24) on the housing (12) to reduce bending moments on the bearings (90) supporting the saw bar (24).
