What is another term commonly used for a power saw?

Band saw
Reciprocating saw
Circular saw
Saber saw

The correct answer is: Reciprocating saw

A power saw is any saw that is powered by an external source, typically electricity or batteries. In this context, the term "reciprocating saw" is commonly used to refer to a type of power saw that features a blade which moves back and forth in a linear motion. This allows it to cut through various materials effectively, making it a versatile tool for construction and demolition tasks. While the other choices represent different types of power saws (for example, a band saw has a continuous blade loop; a circular saw uses a rotating blade; and a saber saw, which is often another name for a jigsaw), they refer to specific designs or functionalities rather than being a generic term for power saws in themselves. The term "reciprocating saw" specifically highlights the saw's operational mechanism, which is a key identifying feature in the realm of power tools.
