Systems and methods for constructing reciprocating saws

It relates to a system and method for constructing a power tool. One system includes a power tool communication system including an external device and a power tool. The external device includes a user interface configured to receive a first selection to enable features of the power tool and a second selection of thresholds of motor characteristics of the power tool. The power tool includes a motor in the housing. The power tool receives a selected feature and a selected threshold from an external device. The power tool includes a sensor configured to monitor the motor characteristics of the motor. The power tool further includes an electronic processor that controls the motor to operate according to the selected feature and adjusts the operating parameters of the motor when the motor characteristics are determined to exceed a selected threshold.
