Claim Text:
1. A reciprocating saw system including a housing, comprising: a housing of a reciprocating saw; an elongated grasping member coupled to a distal end of the housing which when activated moves from a first position to a second position such that a workpiece is positioned, during use, adjacent at least the distal end of the housing and, during use, a reciprocating blade couplable to the distal end of the housing such that the reciprocating blade extends from the distal end of the housing; a tension mechanism, wherein when the tension mechanism is activated the tension mechanism moves the elongated grasping member from the first position to the second position; a conveyor coupled approximate to a distal end of the tension mechanism, wherein the conveyor is pivotally coupled approximate to a proximal end of the elongated grasping member; an engaging mechanism, positioned adjacent to a proximal end of the housing, which when activated releases a first stop positioned towards the distal end of the housing, wherein the first stop inhibits proximal movement of the conveyor, and wherein when the first stop is released, when a tensile force is applied to the conveyor, the conveyor moves from substantially adjacent the distal end of the housing to toward the proximal end of the housing such that the elongated grasping member is moved to the second position; and a loading mechanism coupled to a proximal end of the tension mechanism, wherein the loading mechanism is inhibited by a second stop when engaged from moving from approximate the proximal end of the housing towards the distal end of the housing, wherein when the loading mechanism is inhibited from moving by the second stop and the conveyor is inhibited from moving by the first stop the tension mechanism provides a tensile force to the conveyor, and wherein at least a portion of the second stop is positioned substantially toward the proximal end of the housing.
