I was watching one of the home improvement shows where they were
installing a wood floor.

When they were ripping out the old floor, they briefly showed a small
powered saw that allowed them to cut the old flooring right up to the
wall.

It looked like a powered hand "grinder" with a recipocating blade.

What was it and who makes it?

Thanks

Sounds like a Fein Multimaster, although similar designs are available from
other companies.

I am surprised that Dewalt doesn't seem to have one.

I know of 4 different ones already. The Fein is virtually impossible
to beat. Bosch seems to come close, the rest ... who knows. We don't
need a DeWalt.

If you need a tool like that, Fein has no equal, much less any real
competition.

Not sure if it's the one you are talking about, but I bought a Clarke
Crocodile Saw like the one below.


http://gearpatrol.com/blog/2008/07/0...cular-saw-kit/

Haven't used it yet after having it on hand for over a year and some
might call it a waste of money, but it has some certain features and
capabilities that I haven't seen elsewhere. So, I've got it for those
few unique tasks that just can't be completed as well by other tools.
(That I know of anyway)

The Fein like the Multimax is an oscillating tool. Or perhaps you're
thinking he mistook the device for a saw?

From your description, it sounds very similar to one of these:

Aussie invention, designed originally to cut bricks and mortar, with the
optional wood blades, it will also cut hardwood, chipboard or ply, - even
tree roots in the ground

Maybe you are talking about a jamb saw. They have rotating blades though,
not reciprocating.

Can't really answer that since I haven't used it yet, but I was buying
some other stuff from the same online tool store at the time and the
description was something along the lines of a "do everything" tool.
That was enough to snag me.

Think it went something like:
It's meant to be operated one-handed and will cut through metals,
plywood, ceramic tile, conduit and tubing.
