A compact tool that operates by moving attachments back and forth at very high speeds is the reciprocating tool.

A reciprocating tool is a versatile handheld device utilizes a back-and-forth motion, often in a linear or slightly angular manner, to power various attachments or tool heads. The rapid oscillating or reciprocating action generates high-speed movements, allowing for tasks such as cutting, sanding, scraping, and grinding in a wide range of materials.

Reciprocating tools are commonly used in construction, woodworking, metalworking, and DIY projects due to their efficiency and ability to perform multiple tasks with interchangeable attachments.
