ABSTRACT:
A power tool is provided and includes a housing having a first longitudinal axis extending therein. An output shaft is mounted in the housing along the longitudinal axis operably connected to the working element. A motor in the housing is provided for driving the output shaft. A transmission system has cooperating portions which are movable between (1) a first state wherein the cooperating portions are disengaged from each other allowing the output shaft to reciprocate, and (2) a second state wherein the cooperating portions are engaged with each other causing the output shaft to rotate. A wobble driver is mounted to the output shaft with the wobble driver having (1) a first mode wherein the wobble driver is in driving relation to the output shaft and is capable of reciprocating with the output shaft along the first longitudinal axis, and (2) a second mode when the wobble driver is in non-driving relation to the output shaft. An actuator cooperates with the wobble driver and one of the transmission system cooperating portions. The actuator is selectively movable between (1) a first position wherein the transmission cooperating portions are in their first disengaged state and the wobble driver is in its first driving mode relative to the output shaft with the wobble driver reciprocating with the output shaft along the first longitudinal axis to reciprocate the working element, and (2) a second position wherein the transmission system cooperating portions are in their engaged state and the wobble driver is in its second non-driving mode relative to the output shaft with the output shaft rotating to rotate the working element.
