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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

"What can this $200 set do that a $60 ($40 on sale now) HF
multi-function power tool can't?" I wondered aloud.
The toomanytwinkiestroll was likely referring to a toe-kick saw.
That's an inline version of your Croc. http://fwd4.me/3Ut

From your description, it sounds very similar to one of these:
http://www.arbortech.com.au/view/allsaw-information/allsaw-as160productinfo
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

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/2008/07/07/clarke-crocodile-circular-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.
